Configuring Your Bed<\/h2>

For 2025-2026:<\/h2>

Loft and bunk bed parts will be placed into student rooms before Move-In occurs. Students can request  request a loft or bunk bed kit on Roompact<\/a>, beginning on July 1 after receiving a housing assignment. The deadline for loft and bunk bed requests is 11:59pm on Friday, July 25th. <\/p>

To log into Roompact, use your student email but exclude the “mail.” Example: sdeagle@umw.edu.<\/p>

How to:<\/h3>

All residents have the ability to choose the bed configuration they want. All beds are set to the standard “tall” configuration which consists of one headboard, one footboard, and the bed springs set at the highest setting (about 31″ inches), with the mattress on top. Residents may lower the bed springs, bunk the beds, or loft the beds. It is entirely up to the resident to determine what bed configuration suits them best.<\/p>

All beds must be returned back to their original “tall” state prior to moving out (either at end of year or when moving out due to room change). Failure to do so will result in a charge of $125 billed to the student.<\/p>

If a resident wishes to change their bed configuration during the year, they must contact their RA or Area Coordinator. A work order is not necessary and will be rejected by Facilities Services. Once the staff member is contacted, they will give the resident the parts they need to change the bed to the desired state. It is the resident’s responsibility to make the changes. It takes at least two people make the configuration changes together (more makes it easier).<\/p>
