Let's be honest: dorm mattresses are terrible. Most dorm mattresses are made with cheap memory foam that's been absorbing 8 hours of sweat per night from hundreds of students over the years. They're usually too firm, sometimes lumpy, and almost always covered in a vinyl "protective" layer that feels more like a pool float than a mattress. These mattresses are terrible for getting rest after dealing with exam stress and adjusting to college life.
Simply put, your brain needs quality sleep to actually retain what you're studying. When you're uncomfortable and tossing around at night, you don't hit the deep sleep cycles that consolidate memory and regulate stress hormones.
The best way to fix your crappy dorm mattress, is to put a nice topper on it. If you invest in a mattress topper made with natural materials, it will make your mattress more comfortable, keep you from sleeping hot, and isolate you from the toxins in the dorm mattress.
The Sleep & Beyond myWoolly Latex Topper is the BEST topper to fix a terrible dorm mattress. It's 3 inches thick and filled with natural latex and wool that transforms your dorm bed into something you'll actually want to sleep on. The latex relieves pressure points (so you stop waking up with sore shoulders and hips), and the wool regulates your temperature (so you don't overheat).
Make sure you get the Twin XL size, which is the standard dorm mattress size (not regular Twin). Bonus: this topper is machine washable, which makes it easier to keep it clean.
