Just Whipperwhirl 24 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Dont laugh at me - where do you get bed sheets for a camper? I dont think the beds are like the beds you have in your house. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Otter Spotter aka Debbie 58 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 I just use regular old sheets you get at a regular old store. Just buy the size that's closest to the size of your mattresses. It's a camper, not a "show-house"!! They don't need to fit perfectly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Yeah, same here. They are too big, but they do the job. Also if you really must have a top sheet and don't want it up around your waist, sew the foot of it to the bottom fitted sheet. The camper mattress never seems to hold the bottom of the top sheet still. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stacktester 78 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 I just buy the top sheets only that way you can wrap the mattress more easily. Much easier to work with. I just learned how to fold a top sheet earlier this year and that really was cool. Doesn't take much to make me say wow lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy and Grandma 740 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 You can get "special sheets" at Camping World but as usual they will be more money for a little lower quality (lower thread count). They do fit very well if you have the shorter mattress.Camping World Sheets Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Judy in Texas 150 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 I did some work on the mattress pad to make it fit better since trying to use it as it was added bulk I didn't like. My bed in the camper is a narrow twin. I brought the mattress into the house, put the mattress pad on it inside out, pinned two corners so it fit better, cut off the extra and sewed it up. Much better. I've thought about doing the same to the fitted sheet; but, right now I just tuck the extra material in and live with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LONE-STAR 370 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 We but the exact same sheets for the camper that are on are bed in the house. We sleep better that way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The camper mattress never seems to hold the bottom of the top sheet still.We just use the same sheets that we use in the house too, but it did occur to me that if you use waterbed sheets, they come already sewn together at the bottom to stay put...

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Size depends on the camper/beds but we use the same ol' sheets from the same ol' stores as home. Our hybrid was pretty much a regulation queen, only difference is it was a much thinner mattress. We solved that by putting both of them on our side - hey, the dogs didn't need it! The new TT has a queen also. That one is a "real" mattress - standard queen size.I made up the dinette for our in-laws who stayed with us this past weekend and just packed 2 flat sheets. It was definitely easier to tuck the bottom in than trying to sort out a fitted.The only thing that stinks is that home is a king bed, camper is a queen, and camp is a full - that's a LOT of freakin' sheets!

Just Whipperwhirl 24 Posted May 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 It never occured to me that you can just use regular sheets - thanks for the help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AuburnJen 777 Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Our queen in the mh is slightly smaller than a normal queen, so we added a memory foam topper from wallyfart (I think it was like 118, but worth every single penny) and the sheets fit perfectly Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I dont think the beds are like the beds you have in your house.As others have said, plain sheets are the least expensive option. Sheets USA does sell custom sized sheets for each manufacturer of camper/pop up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BouncingTiggers 98 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 We got a giant roll of blanket material for almost nothing when a local fabric mill cleaned out their storage warehouse. We made it into our sheets & blankets for both our queen bunks on the HTT. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
polkadotsuitcase 12 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 WHAT?!?! The flat sheet is the easy sheet to fold. It's the fitted sheet that drives those of us who are OCD insane!!!!!My mom showed me how to fold a fitted sheet years ago (she's the neatest, tidiest, most organized person I know -- traits I definitely didn't inherit -- and when she came to visit us in our first home, she opened the linen closet and about passed out, lol...and then we had a little sheet-folding party). Ever since then, I STILL get happy that I can make the fitted sheets fold as crisply and in the same folded dimensions as the flat sheets. Everything else in my house may be in a state of total chaos, but by goodness, my sheets are folded neatly!! :banana: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GOBA Mom Lynn 18 Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 For those who tent camp and use air mattresses.....I sewed a flat sheet and a fitted sheet together to make a "pillowcase" for the mattress. Make sure you leave the open end of the sheet where the valves for the air mattress are and you can leave it on when you inflate and deflate the mattress. Much nicer than sleeping on the plastic.
