We are getting our new to us van and it has lounge area that will make up to a double bed. But it has a chest of drawers. So when made into a bed do you lay head or feet either side of the chest or crosswise next to it.
What about bedding how do you put a sheet on it.
Sorry told you it was silly but never seen a bed made up
I just use a mattress topper pad with a duvet cover on it. Evens out all the bumps and acts like a bottom sheet. Rolled up, secured with a bungy and stuffed in the wardrobe during the day
I really hope the chest comes out as we are used to sleeping on a super king - husband is a real t**ser we don't know yet as still a month til we pick her up.
Maybe someone will know, its an elddis 505 firestorm made in 2005 apparently a dealer special similar to an avante
I like the advice about turning the cushions I wouldn't of thought of that thanks
We had a 2002 Elddis firestorm 505 and the layout had a rear dinette that we kept up as a permanent bed, it always seemed smaller than a double bed. We never made the bed up at the front, I don't think the drawers would've pulled out but never tried.
The top comes off our chest leaving a lower chest with two draws as we have more than enough storage space we store the top in the garage and use the lower chest as a coffee table giving us a huge bed, we also turn our cushions over and use super king size bedding.
The top part comes off ours, but weve given up making the bed up as a double, if it's late and wine has been flowing we just leave them as singles, I actually prefer it, no climbing over each other if we need the loo.
we lie crossways and leave drawers in situ. Use a sleeping bag underneath a thin foam mattress (which comes with zip on cover so no sheets required with normal double duvet.
We leave the drawers in situ as well, dont fancy a hernia from shifting them every night. We use two kingsize duvets, both with covers on, one underneath and one on top. Its much easier to make the bed that way and we find it comfortable.
You'll find what suits you best by trial and error.
