Another Bedding Option February 21, 2020, 12:20:37 pm RV Superbag is another bedding system we have considered, and may tumble for in the near future. It is relatively inexpensive compared to the Froli system, but does not have the springy thingies underneath, so you can select your own mattress foam. The nice thing is that the sheets and covers stay together so it can be removed and put back in place without a bunch of different pieces (sheet, blanket, cover), but can be separated so that the sheet can be laundered without the blanket and cover.The custom sizing option allows for odd shaped beds (like in boats) so the sheets and covers fit the bed and the people without a excess bedding or short sheeting.RV Superbag had a booth at the Q this year and we looked at the system and liked it.The system is all made in the USA. The owners, Dennis and Anne, are nice people. RVSuperbag.comHarold 1 Likes
Re: Another Bedding Option Reply #1 – February 21, 2020, 01:53:53 pm The Superbags looks like many others the have been sold over they years, I think LD used to sell a Travel Sack or similar.I like that Superbags have options for the sheets. I always buy high quality sheets, they last longer and are more comfortable,The sheets should be easy to separate from the blankets for washing.We have built the sleeping kits my wife and I have used for 45 years of travel and they are like the Superbags with the top and bottom sheets sewn together, with attachments to add blankets . The earlier, pre-LD, editions had a firm, 2" foam cushions, held in a pocket in the under the bottom sheet. It made it easy to move the whole bed from home to the truck or tent. To attach the blankets to the sewn sheets, grommets and carabiners are used to attach the appropriate blankets for the season to the sheets, including a thick comforter that rolls up tightly when not in use or can be totally removed for storage. The comforter has come in handy when very cold weather is encountered.One issue for couples sleeping together, the blankets and sheets get twisted up unless secured in some way. Earlier edition kits had a foam bottom to retain the shape. In the new kits, reinforced grommets are placed the bottom sheet's four corners. Eye screws are located in the bunk's four corners and around the perimeter of the bunk. The four corers of the bottom sheet are tied, with cord, from the grommets to the eye bolts in the bunk's four corners . Nite-ize cord tighteners are used to keep the cords tight and securing the bedding in place. It's easy to tighten loose cords, just give the cord a pull, it automaticly locks.https://www.niteize.com/product/CamJamXT-Aluminum-Cord-Tightener.aspIf you can sew and already have a good assortment blankets, making your own sleeping kit, it isn't that complicated a task and can be sized to fit any bed.Larry 1 Likes
Re: Another Bedding Option Reply #2 – February 21, 2020, 07:25:46 pm The RVSuperBag is like (or nearly so) TravaSak. We've had TravaSak for 15 or 16 years. We had tried everything from sheets and blankets to sleeping bags. TravaSak (one side summer, one side winter) is, by far, the most comfortable and easiest to use. The only thing I added was sleeping bag bungie cords so they're easy to keep rolled up in the daytime. Yes, L.D. sold a travel bag, of sorts. Maybe they still do. It was a top section and bottom section held together with velcro straps. We bought them at the time we picked up our 1994 MB. Miserable! It was confining and impossible to turn over in. Lasted one night. This RVSuperBag looks like a nice product.Juli W. 2 Likes
