Following on from a question I asked ages ago -
Our Moho is 2 berth with pull out bed from the dinning area bench seats joined together, one seat is longer than the other so the bed is about 10cm narrower at our feet side, its not tapered like a fixed bed but has a 10cm step out of it at one side (if you get my drift).
So we did buy a decent double sleeping bag to put ontop as somebody here suggested and it works well, however its a little uncomfortable still and wondered if anyone has suggestions for a matress cover that would fit the slightly odd shape of the bed arrangement bearing in mind the thickness of the cushions a topper would have to attach too?
Any experience of what to do or what to buy would be great.
This is our bed in picture laid out although we have the cushions upside-down as we find it more comfortable that way.
Photo's from purchase advert, don't have any better ones on phone of bed layout unfortunately.

Have something similar . I use a standard mattress topper , sheet and duvet . Wee bit fiddly hooking on at corners but works fine
 
For my overcab bed space, which has a distinct curve one side, I just bought a topper that was large enough and then cut to the required shape.

Use a standard fitted sheet but tuck it in more in the corners. Maybe get a topper that you can adapt in a similar way?

FWIW, in the lower berth (sofa converting to bed), I have another topper and with that one, I use a regular duvet cover that the topper goes into and then when I roll that topper out, I get a topper plus sheet all in a oner

I can't remember if you said, but looking at the photos, your motorhome looks like an Autotrail and the sofa-cum-bed layout looks very much like mine, with a wide sofa and a narrower sofa combining to make the odd shaped bed.
I did some measurements with mine and I found just pulling the longer sofa side out and dropping the back cushions to sleep lengthways rather than sideways gave me a bed the same width as the narrower sofa and with the wide sofa being 6 foot in length, just using that one side gave me a bed space that was just as usable as doing the full double-sofa version, as well as it being a conventional rectangular shape. And then have the added bonus of still having the narrower sofa usable for seating still AND space for the ladder to go into position to the overcab berth.
Possibly something to consider/check out if that could work for you?

It's a rebadged Swift motorhome (Ace airstream).
This is the only bed in the moho unfortunately and 2 of us sleep in it so has to be set up as double - To use the one side of sofas separately even pulled out wouldn't be wide enough for both of us, sleeping separately wouldn't work either as She likes to steal heat off me. 😅
