Bedding

[AlyJay]

Just a question asking what other motorhomers do for bedding with a similar set up to ours.
We have 2 sofas up front which fold out to join and make a kind of double bed - one of the sofas is longer than the other due to position of hab door so the bed isnt a perfect oblong shape.
My question is - I was wondering if theres specific places who supply fitted bedding or if its maybe something that needs custom made or infact people just make do with house double bed sheets and a duvet?
Thanks for any advice.

Duvets or even sometimes a unzipped sleeping bag with fitted sheets to mattress

We just leave them as singles and have a 10-tog duvet each, which makes for a quiet night and easy to wash or replace and can be as cheap as you want.

That's the problem, being odd shape fitted sheets dont fit.

Singles wont work as the bird likes to cuddle.

We take 2 double duvets, one thin one thick, and depending on the weather depends which is on top. Just needs rolling out and rolling away, no tucking in etc. Duvet covers easily changed/washed too of course

"The Bird" where do you keep your club

We just use flat sheets we also lean toward the darker colours.

You can also get double duvets that are split into two tog ratings I had a 3 and 15 so I was always okay.

Duvet underneath and duvet on top. Duvet covers easy to wash. No flaff of putting sheet on every night.

And, after that, Jeff, you just drifted apart ... . On the bright side, yours must be the only place where the thickness of the ice is actually increasing ...

We leave them made up and put a fleece over each bed, we're driving all day so pointless making them up every day and quite tiring too.

Not the same type of bed layout but with my French bed I have always used normal bedding as you would in bricks and mortar. Avoid anything 'motorhome' or 'bespoke', they will have your pants down

The fixed double in my Adria had a corner cut off on one side, I just used to put a double fitted sheet on and tuck the extra corner bit that wasn't needed underneath.

Bit different if daily bedmaking is needed, I now do as others have suggested - a thin duvet and a thick one, except in my case I only need a couple of singles now.

Sorry

No need to be sorry, wish we went for fixed beds like these or similar, much less faff.

Yes this sounds like a good idea, and easier to set up instead of all faff with sheets, especially after a few beers .
