About our mattresses

The residence halls have standard twin size mattresses measuring 36" by 76". Residence Life has purchased a very limited supply of "extra-long" or 36" by 80" mattresses, which are available upon request and based on need. Students who would like to request and extra-long mattress should email residencelife@villanova.edu.  Please include the following information with your request:

  • full name
  • student ID number
  • reason for the request

All requests must be in writing for record keeping purposes. Decisions regarding the placement of extra-long mattresses will be made in late July. All students who request an extra-long mattress will receive an email in August, via their University email account, informing them of the status of their request.
