Futons are a perfect way to retain space in small areas (i.e dorm rooms and college apartments), while still providing adequate comfort, support, and design to the room. This particular Euro Futon Black Mattress has a 3 position adjustable back, and can be used for both sitting and sleeping purposes.

Extra space is the most important thing to consider when moving furniture into your dorm. Now I know that school has already started, however now is the time you begin to realize what you should have brought, instead of what you actually packed. The Airmesh Dorm Dish Chairs are an extremely comfortable, popular, and compact way to keep floor space at a maximum. Going into any department store, you may have already seen, or sat in one of these dish chairs just to give it a try. Foam filled, these Airmesh chairs are nice and deep, and feel almost as if you are sitting on a foam mattress. This particular dish chair is offered in 3 colors (blue, black, and red) in order to fit any dorm style, and it is constructed of durable polyester material in order for you to plop in through 4 straight years of college. I feel the greatest feature of the Airmesh dorm chairs however, is that fact that the powder coated steel legs fold in for an easy (and light weight) storage solution.

Speaking from experience, every Dorm Room needs a fan. Most dorms/apartments come with an air conditioning unit, but with all the food, dirty laundry, and heat that builds up, you should look into a Vornado 3 Speed Fan for air circulation. An extremely compact fan, the Vornado measures at 12” x 8.80” x 13.60” so that it can easily rest on a desk (or floor) without taking up necessary workspace. As a 3-speed fan, you are able to control both the amount of air circulation, and the direction of airflow by adjusting the fan blade head. As a high performance unit, the Vornado fan uses vortex technology in order to fully circulate the air in whichever room it is placed. It will even circulate air in a room up to a surprising 70 ft, and I don’t know any dorm room that large! Oddly, as powerful as this compact fan is, it works wonders while remaining whisper quiet for potential student study sessions. Plus as a further sign of quality and assurance, Vornado even gives this fan a 5-year warranty-even though it will far out last the time constraint.

Measuring at 2″ thick, the hypo allergenic visco elastic memory foam uses material which helps create a balanced temperature throughout the night (”open cell” technology), and will virtually eliminate nighttime tossing and turning. This specific pad can also be purchased at 3″, though regardless of thickness, each memory foam topper will steadily increase proper blood circulation throughout your body. It may also be responsible for overall deeper sleep, maximized comfort, and extreme levels of relaxation, so watch out!
