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.

Normal sheets for us too.  Why pay over the odds?  Enjoy your new van when it comes.  And on what you save on the sheets you can get a few extra bottles to celebrate in the new van

Hey Devon Dumpling you do exactly the same as us!   We have a transverse bed and find it more comfy than our 'proper' bed at home! I love snuggling down under the duvet with the padded walls at the top and side to keep the edges soft.   (We've a Sorento as well!)

We just use normal bedding but only the best as it is for our van.

And yes, like another post on here, we find the beds in the van more comfy than at home.

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.

We buy the fitted elasticated sheets for the bottom and then normal quilts. One of our singles has the corner rounded off, the other doesnt. Tescos do cheap fitted sheets.
