With two of my sons taller than their mattresses, we decided to get them extra long twin beds. It was easy to find them at all three of the stores I went to, and after bargain hunting, we decided on the ones we liked.
But next, I needed extra long sheets, mattress pad and comforter. Too bad it wasn't a few weeks earlier, because stores may have been better stocked for back to college.
Like a lot of moms, I did my research online first. But I really wanted to touch the sheets, feel the softness, and see if the stores had any better prices and availability.
Nyet. Went to Bed, Bath and Beyond and Sears. Went online at Bed, Bath and Beyond, Sears, JC Penney and Amazon. I ended up buying them from JC Penney-- similar prices as the rest, but free shipping.
Of the websites I used, Amazon was the easiest to navigate. When I typed in twin xl, that's just what I got. The list of available twin xl products.
With the others, I got the list of ALL the products, SOME of which may be in twin xl, so I had to delve into each product description to see if it indeed had twin xl, or just twin.
Fortunately, I had a little time last night to surf. But, if I were in a hurry (and it delivered for free), Amazon would have been my preference.
