Well, I never liked sleeping on those darn dinette cushions so I ordered 4 inch memory foam and purchased a 2 inch denser foam for the bottom. I cut them to size and shape, a friend made a mattress cover and now I have a wonderful permanent mattress.
I have found that a double fitted sheet works well with my 6 inch mattress. There is a litlte excess on the sides. I just pull the excess to the rear of the trailer and tuck in between the mattress and the back wall. I don't like the top sheet or covers tucked in so I simply lay them on the top, spreading them out nicely. Actually for appearance sake I pull the top comforter down on the front side enough to cover the sheet. To keep it in place I tuck a small amount between the kitchen counter and the mattress on the streetside and a small amount between the mattress and the closet on the curb side. I fluff up the pillows, layout Lily teddy bear and I done.

With much sweat and grunting the three, count them, three times I have made up my bed in my Scamp, my bed NEVER comes out perfect! And I am a perfectionist! Soooo, I want to know, did you all photo shop the perfectly made bed pics, get special sheets & blankets made, or is there some secret I don't know? I am still sweating! You all must divulge your secret so I can stop feeling inferior  WE use a single quilt and it fits looks great

A twin size fitted sheet is a perfect fit for the "double" bed in our Scamp, since the cushions are only 4" thick. I also use a twin size top sheet & blanket. The "tucking method" described earlier _/ works best. Then, when I'm ready to give up on it, I hide the lumpy edges with small throw pillows. Ta daaaa! Sandra

I just use a twin fitted bottom sheet and sleep under loose covers (sheet in Summer, fleece blanket in Spring/Fall, open sleeping bag in Winter), which are folded when I am feeling some OCD, otherwise randomly piled. I had enough making of beds in the military! That is the exact same thing I do. Looks great and is really easy to do.

Monica, When you restore a trailer from a wreck to something livable, a few wrinkles don't seem to matter much. You'll get an idea of what I mean by looking at these before and after pictures. A simple twin bed comforter works well to put the finishing touch on a trailer many would not have wanted to step into a few years ago.

Joyce made a fitted bottom sheet for the Walmart Spa mattress and then a top sheet that is fitted on the curb end of the mattress. Making the bed is fairly simple and then the quilt is laid on top.
[attachment=23697:MVC_058X__Medium_.JPG] Joyce has done a great job with the quilt. I am going to start making quilts for Casita's that fit the curve. I hope that they will work out just fine. Will start with my own Casita. A hint with big sheets, tie the corners in a single knot, then put them under the end of the cushions, it helps to make them into fitted sheets. I have also sewn together bottom sheets and tops sheets together to make a sheet sleeping bag, works great to keep them together. I have also added a soft thin blanket to that as well.

Sandra Sandra Lair: I just cannot get a hospital corner on my rear Casita bed and make it look neat and tight, no matter how hard I try. But I confess I did copy your spare tire logo, though, and I hope you will forgive me for it.. If I can figure out how to reduce the size to 400K I'll post a pic of my creation.
