Hi All,

We have just bought our first fixed bed caravan. I was wondering if it is really worth buying the correct shaped bottom sheets etc. We find that a normal duvet is absolutely fine, it just drives me mad with the mattress protector keep 'pinging' off the corners

Any ideas.............lol x

Hi there,

You are so right - we are soooo glad we bought a fixed bed.It's so much better not having to make the bed up every night .....

I think I will try the 'king size' bedding option - the ready-made stuff is so expensive......

Thanks again

We did buy a mattress  protector shaped to the bed and one fitted sheet just to compare. I think the mattress protector is worthwhile but I do wonder if the sheets are really needed, time will tell. You do pay premium prices which will put some people off. We got ours from Jonic, nice products but a bit slow on deliveries.

We use normal stuff, we have a mattress topper as the boss finds the mattress a bit firm, it tucks under the mattress on the cutaway bit along with the fitted sheet.

It does pop out sometimes but not worth the aggro and expense of buying the shaped stuff.

Agree with Jennirfenm, Lidl cotton jersey stretch sheets - double size - are perfect, and they are good quality and wash really well. Also bought a double mattress cover - ordinary one from Dunelm, and that too is fine, no need for the extra expense.

We use a normal double duvet and cover, and no problems with them either.

BTW Lidl have the sheets at the moment.

That's great guys !

I shall go and have a look in Lidl at the weekend!

Thanks again lol x

Hi Alan,

Thank you!
