There’s still time to shop Coop’s back-to-school sale — these are the dorm essentials I’d buy

Whether you’re a student or a parent, the days leading up to going back to school are exciting. However, the shopping might seem never-ending and hunting down the right options within your budget can be exhausting. The good news is that you can now strike off finding quality dorm bedding from your list, thanks to Coop’s back to school sale offering up to 20% off on pillows, sheets, protectors and more.

My favorite deal is the 20% discount on the best mattress protector in our guide: the Coop Ultra-Tech Waterproof Mattress Protector, which earned an overall score of 4.5 out of 5 stars for its performance. But if all you want is to grab everything you need at maximum discount, there’s also a back-to-school bundle where you can choose pillows, sheet set and a topper with 40% off; ideal when you consider that a dorm room bed is unlikely to feature the best mattress or best pillows.

Need to explore more bedding options to create the ultimate sleep haven in your dorm? Head to our best back to school deals where we track the top discounts on everything you need from mattresses, pillows to even weighted blankets and sleep masks. And remember that if you’re not up against a back-to-school deadline you may get a better deal by waiting for the Labor Day mattress sales.
