Your college dorm room might not immediately feel like a sleep sanctuary — but with 15% off a mattress topper and pillow bundle from organic bed brand Avocado, it could. Offering long-term comfort on a student budget, it's at the top of our back-to-school wishlist.

If I was to grade dorm room mattresses, most of them would struggle to scrape a D. But Avocado beds deserve top marks and we rate them among the best mattresses we've tested you can buy online.

This dorm bed bundle combines an Avocado mattress topper with pillow to offer you healthier sleep in every sense of the word — you'll enjoy better snooze, protect yourself from the general grubbiness of a dorm bed and the organic build means your sleep supports the environment.

The best mattress toppers can transform your dorm bed and below we'll explore why this Avocado bundle is a great choice for college students. Need a whole mattress replacement? Check out our mattress sales guide.

The Avocado Dorm Room Bundle combines a mattress topper with a pillow and a 15% discount to give your (likely) uncomfortable dorm room mattress an organic upgrade. Available in three dorm-friendly sizes — twin, twin XL and full — the Eco Organic Mattress Topper included in the bundle uses Talalay latex foams to create a supportive sleep feel (Talalay latex is often found in the best organic mattresses.) This is paired with the Avocado Green Pillow, made using organic latex foams and kapok tree fibers, which promises to contour to your head to support every sleep style. 15% off is one of the biggest discounts in the current Avocado mattress sale and reduces a twin XL bundle to $372 (was $438.) Latex foams are known for their natural durability, so we predict this bundle will see you all the way through undergrad.

Why buy a mattress topper for a dorm bed?

Sleeping well helps you store memories and this in turn helps you learn. However, sleep is rarely top priority for a college student — they're more likely to crash out in their clothes than indulge in a proper nighttime routine.

But choosing the right mattress for your sleep style can ensure the hours of kip you do get are of a higher quality, with fewer aches, pains and nighttime wake ups.

While the best mattresses for college students can help you enjoy better sleep for less, a mattress topper is an even more cost effective solution. Plus, they're easier to store and carry.

The Avocado mattress topper uses durable latex foams, so we think it will support you all through undergrad. And it's naturally breathable, which is great news if you're heading to hotter climates for your studies.

From popular budget mattress brand Zinus, this dorm bed bundle features a twin XL Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam mattress topper, a matching waterproof mattress protector and two memory foam pillows. We doubt this will last as long as the Avocado alternative (latex foams are known for their longevity) but at just $149.99 it's just right for student budgets.
