    Cotton Sheet Set With Phone Pocket

    This unique set actually has a convenient pocket built into the side of the fitted sheet, which is a life-saver for those with bunk beds or minimal table space. The pocket is ideal for phones, remotes, or earbuds, and there's even a hole at the bottom so you can feed your charger through. The sheets themselves are made from a cotton sateen material that stretches to fit extra long beds (meaning they're awesome for dorm rooms), and they're available in tons of fun designs and both patterned and solid colors.

    Pure Beech Twin Jersey Knit Sheet Set

    Affordable college sheets are rarely high quality, but this Pure Beech set has the potential to last you all four years.

You can get a twin or twin XL for under $40 (though larger sizes are more expensive), so this is an especially great deal for back-to-school.
