Hello Folks,

This is Mrs. Red Dragon here

I was wondering if you can answer a question for me (or two, or three)

Our future fiver has a queen bed (60 x 80) and was wondering if regular queen sheet sets fit?

Any opinions on the Travasaks you wish to share?

Also the bunks in back are 28 x 72 and would like suggestions for those as well, or if I should just get the r v sheets?

I appreciate any info you can share.

If I had a walk around bed, I would prefer bedding just like at home.

My popup has the bed sticking out the back. We like the Travasak for that situation. The Travasak is essentially two sleeping bags zipped together with a sheet that attaches with Velcro. It is easier to wash the sheet than the entire sleeping bag.

Had a queen bed in our TT. I used regular queen sheets and just used "Sheet Belts" - the elastic belts for the corners. Never had any problem with the sheets coming off.

Just traded for a 5ver and it has a king bed. I bought regular king size sheets and did the same. They are a little big but the sheet belts take up the extra and hold them tight.

You can use the 'sheet belts' and then use the same sheet set as at home. Many people do this. We have sheet sets that have elastic all the way around the bottom of the bottom sheet. Keeps them nice and snug. We bought them at one of the large department stores on sale - less than $40. Works for us.

Thanks folks for your great ideas!

I'm very fond of the higher thread count sheets.

I have seen the corner clips etc and it just didn't dawn on me to use them

Again, thanks for your responses!!

We have the 60 x 80 queen bed and I use regular queen-sized fitted and flat sheet sets. They fit to a 'T'; however, we did put an egg-crate mattress pad on top, along with a pillowtop mattress cover ~ which probably allows for deep pocket sheets to fit. I think most sheets are made for the thicker mattresses sold these days, but you might want to avoid any that states specifically for 'extra' deep. Hope this helps.
Happy & safe travels....JW
