Your student will sleep like royalty and never lose track of their phone with these 300-thread-count sheets by Studio 3B. They feature a cell phone pocket built right in on each side of the bed. The pocket allows you to slip your standard smartphone into the pouch while charging it through a hole in the bottom. When you wake up in the middle of the night, your phone is within arm’s reach but safe from getting rolled over as you snooze. The design sacrifices nothing in terms of comfort. These sheets are free from harmful toxins and available in two sizes and five colors. Made with 100% cotton sateen, they are machine washable. Originally $40, they're now on sale for just $16.

Tonal blue stripes (or pink, if you prefer) keep the pattern feeling restful while still offering tons of personality. Throw in a patterned pillow for some pizzazz.

Available in all sizes, this set features 140-thread-count cotton sheets and 90% recycled polyester fill. Originally $100, this set — designed by Robert and Cortney Novogratz, based in NYC — is now on sale for just $40 and comes with a comforter and two pillow shams. Additional savings are available for BBB Welcome Rewards members.
