The stress-free packing checklist starts here…

Picture this: you’ve just arrived at your new Iconinc apartment. You’re stepping into your sleek, stylish private studio apartment. You’ve got a cloud-like 1000 sprung pocket mattress bed waiting for you. The fridge is ready to be stocked. And all you had to do was open the door. Why? Because everything you need is already here, thanks to our partnership with Unpacked.

Whether you’re moving in from across the country or flying in from the other side of the world, Unpacked takes the hassle out of student packing with curated bundles of everything you might need. Kitchen kit? Sorted. Bedding? Ready and waiting. Even your utensils are all here, just waiting to help you whip up that first meal with new mates. All you need to do, is purchase before you arrive!

So, what do you need to bring?

Honestly? Just you, your favourite outfits, and your laptop. Iconinc and Unpacked have taken care of the rest. But if you’re a planner (and we respect that energy), here’s what to expect:

Your Kitchen Kit – ready to roll

Cooking your go-to comfort meal or trying something new in the communal mega kitchen? You’ll be prepped and proud with Unpacked’s Student Kitchen Pack. Designed to slot perfectly into Iconinc apartments, this set includes:

• Saucepans and frying pan (all hob compatible)

• A 41-piece kitchen essential kit (think chopping board, utensils, cutlery, plates, mugs…)

• Glassware for everything from morning juice to evening mocktails

• Tea towels, colander, can opener, scissors - the works
  
  

So whether you’re cooking solo in your Smart Studio or rustling up a feast in your Elegance Apartment, you’re set to impress.

Bedding That Feels Like Home

Let’s talk about sleep. Great beds need great bedding. That’s where the Unpacked Bedding Pack comes in.

From fitted sheets to a cosy 10.5 tog duvet, it’s got everything you need for a dreamy night’s sleep:

• Luxury 400 thread count, white duvet cover and pillowcases

• Soft, polycotton pillows and protector

• Fitted sheet which hugs your bed perfectly - no more poorly fitted sheets 

• A quilted mattress protector
  
  

It’s everything you forgot you needed, delivered and waiting for you on Day One. Stress-free. Effortless. 

Tailor your essentials

Want to go the extra mile? You can personalise your order with extra comforts like:

• Air fryer (late-night snacks, anyone?)

• Hairdryer (especially useful for gym-goers)

• Desk fan (because let’s be honest - UK summers are unpredictable)

• Even extra towels, cutlery, or storage options if you’re the organised type
  
  

There’s something freeing about knowing your space is your space from the second you walk in.
