Hi as you know we no longer have the caravan but for both the side bed (in previous caravan) and the island bed I used ordinary fitted DB sheets with no probs.

I now do the same in the fixed bed MH.

Hi

We cut a double duvet and its cover to the same shape as the mattress to lie on and use a double sized duvet on top (summer/winter type which can be 4.5, 9 or 13.5 tog).

Snug as bugs in a rug.

tyreman i like the sound of the duvet to lie on as i find fitting the sheet a pain!!

might have to nick your idea

thanks

doesn't the bottom duvet move about when you're in bed or do you fasten it down somehow???  We used to use half of a double sleeping bag on top of our airbed when we used to tent and that used to move all over the place lol

We use a mattress topper and put a fitted double sheet over it.  That way, there's no need to tuck it down the sides of the mattress and in the morning you just shake it the same as you do with the duvet.

i have returned to this topic just to thank tyreman for his quilt/sheet idea on the fixed bed.did as you say bought a cheap quilt and used a cover we already had ,cut to mattress shape and used as bottom sheet.it worked a treat and so much easier to make bed.

so thanks
