Bedding September 28, 2017, 06:58:08 am We were struggling with using standard bedding in our 27'MB and don't enjoy the process of making them up in the morning so that they look presentable. Quite by accident I found a company called Beddy's started by 2 ladies in SLC who wanted an easy way for their kids to make their beds in the morning. So I ordered 2 and just came back from a short trip and I'm so happy with them that I wanted to share. They go on like a fitted sheet and the lovely soft sheets are built right into it. Something like a sleeping bag but not really as you don't have the feeling of being confined. There are 2 zippers that start in the middle of the bottom part and I just totally unzip the one side when I'm going to bed and easily zip it back up in the morning. With the addition of some throw pillows the room easily turns into our 'parlor'. Have a look at the videos on utube. The sheet has a flap that hangs out when you sleep so you don't get a draft and easily tucks under when zipping up. Oh, it's 100% cotton too. Hope this helps someone. 2 Likes

Re: Bedding Reply #2 – September 28, 2017, 10:35:51 am So, do you have to take the entire thing off to wash it, or do the sheets come out separately?
Re: Bedding Reply #3 – September 28, 2017, 10:45:29 am You have to wash the whole thing. And I do admit it's hard to get it on over the mattress. I had to have my husband do it but I'm not very strong. The sides are deep, I have a 2"memory foam over an egg crate and it fits.

When you have time, could you post a picture of these in your LD? Secondly, did you have to special order this bedding to fit the lounge cushions? Thank you.
Re: Bedding Reply #5 – September 28, 2017, 12:16:50 pm I watched several videos for this bed sheet product, and at no time did they show anything about how it works apart from unzipping one side of the zipper and pulling out the sheet flap. Has anyone found one more detailed in scope?The easiest "sleep set" for me is to just open my down sleeping bag and get under it, spreading it over me like a blanket - approximately ten seconds of elapsed time. I have a three-inch memory foam mattress on the cabover bed with a down comforter on top of that. When it is super cold, I put a wool blanket over the top of the sleeping bag to keep the warmth in and scratchiness off me.In the morning, the sleeping bag goes into its stuff sack and lives happily on the bunk until next needed.Peculiar as it may seem, I find this so satisfactory, that when it is cold here in Arizona, I use the same system on my bed at home, except I just spread it out over my bed instead of stuffing it away.I bought the high-fill down king-sized comforter in 1991 thinking that it would be the perfect thing for staying warm up there in our TK. It IS very nice, but the sleeping bag is lighter and doesn't pull down on the sides of my body. I keep the down comforter on the bed in the event that somehow there is a freak snowstorm, with a precipitous drop in temperature, and I would need to get under it to preserve life! ;-> Silly Girl!

Re: Bedding Reply #8 – September 28, 2017, 07:04:04 pm We have one Travasack and one RV Super Bed. Both are comparably priced to the Beddy, and (for us) more practical because the sheets detach for laundering, and they can be folded up and put aside easily. Both of these have the benefit of two comforters, one for warm weather, the other for cooler nights. Flip it over to match the climate. In particular, the Beddy doesn't look too practical for the rear beds in a TK / MB, and tucking them in around the loft bed looks like a lot more work than it's worth. For our TK, the loft bed has a queen size mattress protector covered with a fitted sheet. The mattress protector protects against spills, and the fitted sheet hides the mattress protector. Installing and tucking these is a bit of work, but doesn't need to be done often unless there is some kind of hazmat incident (I'm looking at YOU, Loki). The Travasack sits on top of that and looks tidy when zipped during the day. Both sofas in the back are covered with full size (not twin) mattress protectors and cotton jersey (stretchy) fitted sheets. I used a larger size so it can tuck all around to the bottom of the slidey part while covering the entire seat area. Over that are some decorative Mexican blankets for EVEN MORE protection from spills, dirt, cats, clumsy people, and whatever else can happen at the table. Installation is also a bit of a workout but worth it. The RV Superbag can, as needed, be deployed on top of this. We have sleeping bags too, but I find the Travasack / Superbag much more comfortable, and easier to launder as generally the sheets can be laundered weekly, and the comforters only as often as you would normally wash those things.For really chilly nights, throw a blanket or sleeping bag on top, and stuff a BHG (Biological Heat Generator i.e. cat) inside.
Re: Bedding Reply #9 – September 28, 2017, 07:18:01 pm We have to agree with you! We have used Travasak for many years in the campers we have owned and plan to continue in the TK next year when we get it!!! Annette and Steve
Re: Bedding Reply #10 – September 28, 2017, 07:24:47 pm I'm lazy I use two king size comforters. Roll them up as one unit and store on the bunk. Fast and easy.

Annette and SteveUnfortunately Travasak is out of business, but they do show up now and then at CW and on ebay. You can probably find RV Superbag at the Big Tent in Quartzsite and at Escapade.
Re: Bedding Reply #13 – September 28, 2017, 10:10:33 pm Have a queen travasack for the overcab bed. Unfortunately, we ended up hating sleeping up there so it goes mostly unused. Nieces like to sleep in it when they come over because it's funky. 😋 Then bought the king sack from Lazy Daze. It serves us well with a 1 1/2 inch memory foam on our pulled together couches in the RK. Sleep like a baby. I have no idea if the M'ship still sells them. It was pretty pricey. Hey, it's RV'ing, pricey is it's middle name!Those two items store nicely in the overcab bed with our pillows. Also up there is the ladder, a spare water pump, books in the small storage area, a couple fleece blankets, the suitcase solar panel, an extension cord for the panel (Anderson connectors), my Ryobi fan, drill, air pump and two batteries and my shorty 80mm refractor telescope, stand and eyepieces.That overcab bed is like Snoopy's doghouse. It looks small but you can get a lot of stuff up there!!!
Re: Bedding Reply #14 – September 29, 2017, 02:42:01 am We have a king sized 'Hack-sack', basically a clone of the Travasack. It has served us well for these 18 years, but is showing its age. Hacksack is also out of business but RVupgrades.com has a bedding solution that looks a lot like the Travasack. Here it is RV Superbag RVK-TP-SH310 Tan King Sleep System 300 Count Sheets RonB
