For use in our trailer, I love using real quality sheets. So much more comfy that the sleeping bag/Travasack thing.

I do understand though for folks like the OP, that if they need to tear down and completely remake the bed every day, sheets might be quite a pain, and a bag might be better.

BTW, our idea of making up the bed, is more like straightening it up. We just don't worry that it looks perfect, just that it sleeps so.

Several years ago when we had a truck camper, we bought a Travasak. Big mistake! The sheets had a lot of polyester in them, which we hated. My wif made some 100 % cotton flannel sheets for it. That was an improvement BUT.... the camper bed was a queen so we bought a queen Travasak. Big mistake. It wasn't wide enough. Could not keep covered up unless it was zipped up and sometimes we didn't want to be zipped in because it was too warm and it definitely was too confining. When we sold the camper, the Travasak went with it. The Sak was, in my opinion, a good idea poorly done. Only 100% flannel for years now both in the trailer and at home.

I have to add me +3. I use 3/4 fitted sheet sets for the bed in my Escape 17B, and a Vietnam era poncho liner as a blanket. I do have an additional blanket I dig out in the coldest weather, but the poncho liner is an amazing product.

Love our Travasack. Have used it in Casita 17 & Scamp 19. So easy to make the bed, just kick the bottom into place before getting out, then straighten the top. The sheets seem to last forever. Seems expensive, but well worth it.

We had a Casita 17SD. We just left the rear dinette as a permanent bed. We used the side dinette for meals and I made it into a bed when we traveled with our daughter. We used a fitted sheet, blankets and a bed cover. The wife used the bed to read and we watched movies from the bed. Very comfy.
