In my case the side windows have operating sashes, but the front facing windows are fixed. That's good in that we like to have a little ventilation up there besides just the roof vent. Even so, the mattress and bedding do block the low side windows. Or your arm or hair/head is up against it. I'm considering some sort of partition that keeps cold night time drafts off your head or arms and your hands and hair out of the screen, but that still allows airflow. I've got about five extra inches of bed length to work with over what a long-boy double bed would require.
And yeah, I kind of like the original styling.
