I just adore cute bedding. Comforters, bed sheets, throw blankets, quilts — these pieces center the aesthetic for the entire space. (Especially if you’re in tight quarters — in a dorm room or studio apartment, the bed is often the first piece of furniture you see!) The thing is, they can be pricey — especially for options with more detailed designs.

That’s why I’m going to shock you when I tell you this 50-inch x 60-inch cottagecore quilt throw is only $5.55 at Five Below right now. (Seriously, what can’t Five Below deliver?)

Quilt Throw 50in x 60in

$6 at Five Below

It comes in three beautiful prints: blue and white patchwork; pink and white floral; and a fun white, pink, and red cherry print.

The blue and pink options are perfect for cottagecore fanatics, while the cherry theme is seriously on-trend for the moment, as it combines a hint of coquette vibes with a cool city aesthetic. (You could even go all-in with these fun cherry decor finds for under $20.)

Five Below isn’t the only retailer stocking reasonably priced bedding, though. These options will help you elevate your space for $30 or less.

Room Essentials Matelasse Quilt Light Blue

$15$9

$9 at Target

This blue and white checkered quilt combines cottagecore with a coastal vibe. The quilt is machine-washable (always a win) and comes in full/queen, standard, and twin/twin XL sizes.

RACHEL ZOE Feather Knit Stars Blanket

$25

$25 at TJ Maxx

Stars are always such a bold, it-girl print. This blanket comes in twin/twin XL, full/queen, and king sizes, and the black and white design makes it a more neutral choice. Plus, it comes with designer (and soon-to-be Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star) Rachel Zoe’s seal of approval, which doesn’t hurt either.

Exclusivo Mezcla Quilted Throw Blanket

$30$20

$20 at Amazon

If you’re more of an earthy boho person, this quilt’s floral patchwork is a dream and comes in tons of different colorways. It’s also reversible, which is a win in case one side gets damaged.

Her perfect day would consist of going to a cute café in the morning, then spending the day at the beach swimming and reading, then ending the day by shopping and getting dressed up for a nice dinner downtown. Through Dorm Therapy, Isabel is excited to be a voice for young adults embarking on their college journeys and she hopes to make this big transition of life more comfortable for others in the same place as her.
