Corner bed bedding

Yep..we do the same in the c-c-c-old weather.

We use a fitted bottom sheet, normal top sheet and then whatever top cover. Also using Memory Foam topper so just pull back the foam part from the window edge...put on the fitted sheet..flop it down...fit the sheet around the sides and bottom...done.

We bought the superbag for the overhead bed and liked it so much we got another for the second bed. Very convenient. Takes a long time for delivery, but it is just what we wanted. My wife did the ordering and said the folks she talked to were nice on the phone.

We have a walk around bed, but when I had back surgery last spring, DH wanted to be able to make the bed, so we decided to buy the RV superbag. The company that makes the original Travelsak is out of business. The company that makes the RV superbag leaves a lot to be desired and the owner is a real jerk. We ordered and paid almost $400 for a queen set and six week later, we still didn't have our bag. We called back and forth and got little satisfaction. When we finally did get the bags, they were the wrong fabric. They refused to pay the freight for me to send them back. I did end up getting my money back, minus the freight. I mean, they couldn't deliver what I ordered, so they made me pay to have the wrong one returned. We cancelled anyway. A few days later we visited the Camping World in Greenwood, Indiana. They had TWO of the original Travelsak bags on clearance. We bought one for $98 and the next week went back and bought the other, just because it was a good deal and a great price. Now we have a backup.

You can easily make your own sheet sack. I'm going to do just that to have extra sheets. Two queen size flat sheets with sewed on velcro on both sides and the bottom will work. By being able to separate the sheets totally, they will fit in my Splendide. The king sheet I have now is one piece of fabric that folds in half. Too big for my washer.

We had a corner bed in our very first TT. We took two flat sheets and sewed them up together like a gigantic pillow case, leaving one end open. We then put the sheet on the mattress. Yes, we had to pull it clear out of the corner to do that.

Once on, it stayed on for the season. We used unzipped sleeping bags for about 2 years then. After sleeping, we'd just roll the sleeping bags up and presto! Bed was done, look neat.

Fastforward to the 3rd TT and we don't bother making the bed now! Why? It's just going to get slept in again in a few hours?

I have a travasak, now known as RV superbag. It's basically a queen size sleeping bag, with removable sheets that velcro into the bag. Kind of expensive though.

I still use it even though I now have a walk-around bed. I wrap my mattress with a pretty flannel fitted sheet and lay the travasak on top.

I think I would have the mattress covered in denim or twill, something tough but not scratchy... and then I would invest in a couple of double sized sleeping bags, zip them together, and forget about worrying about sheets, etc. If you want to be able to wash the mattress cover, have it made with an open end so you can slip it on and off.
