“After Big Red Beds, I just couldn't go back to my twin bed. Whether it be sleepovers or late night study sessions — Big Red Beds had my back.”

Residential Advisor (RA)

“Big Red Beds completely changed my sleep; I can sleep comfortably and spread out. It’s affordable, easy to install, and feels like a natural extension.”

Jeff

“It was impossible to go back. Averaging 4-6 hours, the sleep that I do get is important and much better now that I’m not falling off my twin every other hour.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to the university's smaller bed?

The university mattress is stored underneath your Big Red Bed, stood vertically against the wall. Cornell policy dictates that students cannot remove university furniture from the room, so this is where the additional under-bed storage space comes in handy.

As an added bonus, the old mattress is perfect to bring out for your visitors from out of town!

Where do I sleep if my Big Red Bed will be installed a few days after I arrive?

If you ordered sheets or additional bedding products, you can pick them up before your installation date, so you can use them with the university supplied Twin XL until we deliver your Big Red Bed.  

If you would like to a upgrade to an earlier installation date, please reach out to contact@bigredbeds.com or our Instagram.

Will a Big Red Bed fall off or break?

Our Big Red Beds are installed on our secure frame extender attached to the original bed frame. You don't ever have to worry about the bed frame sliding off.

Check out our Instagram reels! We made a video showing that, even with four people jumping onto the edge of the bed, it won't break or flip. Pretty neat!

What if I don't know my dorm address yet?

No worries — you don't need to know yet. We'll reach out before O-Week to coordinate where to install your Big Red Bed.

Are Big Red Beds fire code compliant?

All of our Big Red Beds have passed fire inspections by both city and school inspectors. Our mattresses are certified fire-resistant, too. But you might still get compliments saying that your bed is "fire"… 🔥

How often are Big Red Beds replaced? Are they clean?

Big Red Beds are replaced every 4 years (we recycle them!), are always used with waterproof covers, and customers will NOT be sharing mattress covers. In comparison, at Cornell, we've heard reports of dorm beds that are really, really old.

Thankfully, YOUR Big Red Bed will be brand, brand new. 2024-2025 marks our first full year in business, and because all of our existing customers are renting again, new customers will be receiving new beds!

Still have a question?

We would love to hear from you!
