justwandrin,
We have the Travasak but the Superbag does use Velcro to attach the sheets.
I presume each sheet is attached at top sides and bottom? The reason I ask is that I toss and turn a lot some nights and the sheets on a regular bed tend to end up in a wad. :)- justwandrin,

- Does the Superbag use velcro to attach the sheets?
- We use two sets of twin sheets to make the king bed in our Roadtrek. We make the bed and leave it made up for the trip. It is a bit of a circus act to get the bed made and the sheets tucked around all corners, but it can be done. We do not have the power sofa bed so all we are dealing with are assorted cushions put together to make up the mattress. The power sofa bed is harder to make with sheets and that is where the sheet sacks are good to use - though since so many with the sofa bed put a gel foam mattress pad on top, regular sheets could be put on that pad.
- Yeah, a Travasack is really handy when there's not enough room to make the bed, because you can just kinda give it a big fluff/shake and smooth it out.
- We bought a SuperBag - with the upgraded sheets and are very pleased with it. I put off the purchase for awhile, but I am glad I made the plunge.
- "Convenience is a big factor if you're making up the bed for each use."
Good point Northern Virginia. But it seems that just some sheets sewn appropriately, then whatever over you for warmth as needed would be quick and require less storage space.
Bud - Travasak was out of business when I was buying, so I went with SuperBag, despite the added cost. Convenience was the biggest factor. Regular sheets would make it difficult to make the bed given the tight quarters, and sleeping bags are harder to wash than the removable sheets of the Travasak or SuperBag. Convenience is a big factor if you're making up the bed for each use.
- I have never understood these travasak things?
I don't use one at home, so why would I want one in my B?
I've backpacked for a week or more up and down mountains with packs (30 years) and would Never use one. I used a sleeping bag Because of the lighter weight.
Why would I want to get Into Something on my bed at home or in a B?
I make up my B bed just like my home bed (virtually the same mattress too), with sheets and whatever to go on top for warmth. Me, I like down for reduced weight, the greatest temperature range comfort, etc.
I don't get it.
