RV Corner Beds

It is funny to read letters and forum posts by some RVers complaining how hard it is to make a corner bed in their motorhomes. 

Many especially complain that there are no fitted sheets that have one "chopped-off" corner like some corner motorhome bedmattresses have.

This is the topic of Motorhome magazine's next Question of the Month. I felt compelled to respond to the topic.

It is as follow:

On the subject of corner beds, especially ones with a "chopped-off" corner, I have one of those in my 2015 Winnebago Minnie Winnie 22R Class C. 

As far as I know, nobody makes fitted sheets with a "chopped-off" corner. But I have no problem in making my corner bed. I have a queen size bed pad with elastic straps to hold onto the corners (for the "chopped-off" corner, I just tuck it in underneath). On top of that, I have a queen size Travasak that has sheets that are held in with Velcro. It is easy to make the bed, I just zip up the sides, straighten it out a little and I'm done. 

I have a throw blanket that I put on top of the Travasak to "dress up" the bed and cover the mattress and bed pad. For me, making the bed is painless!

Travasak is out-of-business, but I managed to have two of them. Is a "sleep system" of a sleeping bag (of various sizes) with a sheet insert that is held inside with Velcro. Mine, as my response states, is a queen size one.

Travasaks can still be found online. There may be similar "sleep systems" made by other companies.
