Companion's have no fiberglass infill. Or at least this one didn't. So the hunt was on for a floor plan. Had to have bunk beds, the girl and the boy on top bunk are mine. I might as well count the other, neighbor kid that's always at our house (good kid)

Thanks Jon should be a great weekend. I see you are selling yours. In a post you said you rented yours out on weekends. What do you charge per day?

Thanks,
Jeff

Ok I've been using contact and 3m on the reflectix I haven't gotten to the headliner part.

Did you use a headliner with a padding?

This liner is very durable. Easy to stretch, cut, fit, and mold to desired shape or size. Resist mold & mildew. Also a good price. 10 yards.

Thanks Donna. The kids love it. My 6 year old girl asked if she could have bunks like this in her room. Pam I am at 5 sheets, 1 - 3/4 in and 4 - 1/2 in.

Awesome job! I love what you did with the bunk beds. We have been trying to figure out how to make ours safe for our two little ones.
