What do most people use when making up the front seats as 2 separate beds.

Do you use a duvet or sleeping bags?

In a quandary on which we should use please.

My oh liked a sleeping bag I like duvet . But then I used to put sleeping bags in duvet covers so he didn't have a choice . We know have duvets but also fixed single beds X if we change van back to seats for sleeping it will be duvets because the covers are easier to wash and caravans are not that cold

Duvets every time. Imagine waking up in the middle of the night absolutely brasting for a pee and trying to fight your way out of the sleeping bag

We tried double/kingsize duvets on the massive double bed, single duvets on the single beds but we both prefer sleeping bags on the single beds.
They can if required be packed away in a stuff sack quickly and take up very little space.

Its all about what suits you best..

WE ALWAYS USED SLEEPING BAGS WHEN TWO SINGLES AT FRONT AND MADE DOUBLE BAG BY ZIPPING TOGETHER WHEN TURNING INTO DOUBLE.
THIS BECAME A PAIN IN THE A#=E AFTER WHILE SO WE BOUGHT VAN WITH FIXED DOUBLE WHICH WE CAN MAKE INTO SINGLES,IF SHE IS NOT TALKING TO ME BUT STILL USE SLEEPING BAGS DOUBLE OR SOLO + MEMORY FOAM TOPPER.
BAGS ZIPPED IN WINTER BUT USED LIKE DUVET IN SUMMER. BUT NEVER HAVE TO MAKE BEDS UP OR PUT AWAY IN MORNING
AH BLISS. PS READ IN MIRROR ABOUT BANANA SPIDER THAT IF BITES MALES GIVES STIFFY FOR 4 HRS. ANY ONE KNOW PET SHOP THAT SELLS THEM. SHE'S NOT TALKING A GAIN.

Sleeping bags as a duvet (not in but over) with single electric blankets under. When you make up double the electric blankets can still be used. Worked perfect for years. Method:- electric blanket, mattress topper (cut down old duvet) sleeping bag - very cosy.

+1 for duvalays expensive but worth it . We bought the 2 season pack good for Summer and Winter the memory foam is really comfy. We roll them up into their bags one goes under the seats and because we only have a small caravan we just put the other one somewhere out of the way.

We use sleeping bags with cotton inners I made out of single cotton sheets, very cosy and on the odd occasions it turns really warm we just sleep in the cotton inners .
