Sheets and bedding

[mesteve]

What are you all doing for sheets and bedding for the oddly shaped rear main berth?

For our oddly shaped front V berth, I took it home.

Then I got a normal bed sheet (actully a kind of flannel one), laid it flat on the ground, and put the mattress on top of it.

Then i wrap the pointy bit around it, marked and sewed it into a cone shape.  Now, when putting it on, I push the 'nose' of the mattress into the cone, and only have to worry about the facing edge.  I was going to put elastic into the facing edge but have found out that this arrangement works perfectly so don't bother any more.

Hi Mike,

We did the same.
Custom made sheets were frightfully expensive and your method worked great.

I bought a mattress 4" topper at Costco to put on top of the existing cushions, cut in 1 v shaped piece using an electric knife (I bought on Amazon for $20, great for cutting it).



I had a local upholstery seamstress make a custom bedspread and sheets. Worked so well I followed up dong the rear berth, There are you tube videos showing how to cut the toppers.



Way more comfortable than the original cushions and thousands cheaper than a custom mattress.

I bought a Zinus mattress to put on top of the mattress that came with the trailer from the store. I was short on space when the trailer was closed so I didn't go thicker than 1.5". A really nice improvement over the original mattress! I bought one for each bed. Can be used on top of an air mattress for added comfort. Arrived on time as promised. It unfolded easily and I followed the instructions to let it air out before putting a mattress cover and sheet on top. The grandkids loved the comfort too so it was a winner for us!
