Finding it frustrating trying to have a wrinkle night free sleep in my 2004 movano fixed bed.
First issue was sheet coming off corners so bought straps to hold it on .
But it just rucks up very badly and drives me mad. I tried looking for an old fashioned terry towelling sheet but they all seem to be waterproof/mattress protection.
The mattress is 6 inches deep .
Any recommendations? Guess it needs to be super stretchy and preferably not to hot!

I use Asda fitted sheets which are (or at least were when I bought mine) elasticated right the way round and not just at the corners. We have a fixed bed in our caravan with cut out corners but these sheets stay in place really well.

Not for us. The Dunelm fitted sheet that relatives use at home are 100% polyester, not even polycotton. We found them as sticky as nylon & we kept waking up stuck to them, lathered in sweat. Not a restful night’s sleep at all.
Cotton for us, no need to iron.

2024 = 20 sites / 41 nights. 2023 = 9/23. 2022 = 13/35. 2021 = 11/29. 2020 = 4/20. 2019 = 13/35. 2018 = 20/33. 2017 = 10/22. 2016 = 19/33. 2015 = 15 sites / 27 nights. Didn't count 1976 to 2014.
