SAVE on Back to School Essentials

Student Essentials

Back to school is just around the corner and many college and university students are quickly gathering all the supplies they will need for a success return to class. So let’s take a few minutes to share how your student can save on all back to school essentials, so they can focus their money on where it counts, school tuition fees and living expenses.  

Mattress Protectors
If you are moving into a dorm, or a shared living space, then getting a mattress protector is an essential must have item. It’s extremely valuable (starting from only $49) and provides numerous health benefits. The natural bamboo wicks away moisture making a more comfortable sleep surface and prevents bed bugs and other pests making your sleep environment safe and clean. The constructed surface is breathable with a tight fitting stretch knit fabric that’s 100% waterproof and doctor recommended.

Underbed Storage
It’s important to store all of your off-season clothing, as well as your extra blankets and shoes, so underbed storage is extremely useful and convenient. When it comes to underbed storage, there are a few options, you can use either a bed riser, or a storage footboard, or a storage bed complete with storage drawers. Our Ashley Bedroom Set (0200 or 0211) come with a storage footboard, that allows space for all of your bedding essentials. Or upgrade to a Queen Storage Bed that comes with storage drawers conveniently located under the mattress.

Storage Bookcases and Shelves
Save counter space with a stylish bookcase or storage shelf. Choose from our Taupe accent Etagere with four storage shelves, or our chic Cappuccino 72” high corner accent shelf with 5 storage shelves. If you have a lot of books, you can save space with our elegant black and grey bookcase with three storage shelves. All storage bookcases and shelves are in stock and ready for same day pickup or delivery.

Storage Ottomans
When you are limited on space, the key rule to follow is to find dual purpose items whenever possible. That’s why a storage ottoman is perfect for just that reason. You can use it as a footstool, a chair, a table, and you can tuck away items in the hidden storage compartment. Talk about multi-tasking. Choose from several styles like our grey linen, our charcoal linen or our black storage bench.

Nightstand with USB ports
A clever student essential is our Ashley Furniture nightstands with USB charging ports. Available in several styles, the 2-drawer nightstand features easy opening drawers with a snag free interior that’s great for storage. Featuring overscaled contemporary handles and an antique finish this nightstand is sure to add style to any living space while the slim USB charging port can charge your cell phone while you sleep.

Headboard with Light Sconces
Another clever student essential is our Ashley Furniture headboards with light sconces for reading. The Ashley Drystan headboard features prominent rustic wood grain detailing with a stylized weatherworn look that is sure to elevate any bedroom design. Complete with two rustic industrial style light sconces that provide soft lighting for late night reading.
