Hi Nora, Similar to jasper15 our van is on the drive so its easy, The bed stays made up and we have spares to exchange whilst away for any length of time, bedding is washed & back on ready to roll next time, can't wait with this lovely weather now. It was the main reason we opted for the fixed bed really, minimum faffing about night & morning.

We used to use sleeping bags, no idea why, probably because it's what we did when we went caravanning as kids but now use duvets, much easier to just wash the quilt covers than getting sleeping bags to the launderette then dried, plus sleeping bags seem to come in very loud colours and patterns!

The bed is left made up most of the time unless I bring the covers home to wash.

Enjoy having fixed beds, it's great to have a nice afternoon nap or go to bed early if hubby is staying up late watching telly.

We use a fibre one, it's a very low tog rating too, I think it was 1 tog, very thin because the caravan gets much warmer than the bedroom at home so we never need a thick one.

In the colder months when we use the truma heater we set the thermostat to keep the caravan permanently warm.

Duvet for us, with dedicated van only bedding from the Argos primary colour range. We got azure blue to match our cushions and cutlery in the van!

We leave it made up, ready for instant access for a nap or an early night in our fantastically comfortable fixed bed.
