Dartmouth’s premier full size bed rental company, offering students the opportunity to enjoy a more comfortable and spacious sleep, compared to the twin bed provided by the College. Our goal is to make the rental process effortless. At the beginning of the term, we disassemble the college-supplied twin and install our full size bed, and once the rental period ends we, we uninstall our bed and reassemble the college-supplied bed.
