Sheets for dinette and sofa

I swear this must be answered somewhere but I have been searching and searching and can't find it so...

We just got a 2015 27fb, and I need to get sheets for both the dinette and the sofa (when extended) to use when sleeping. It seems that most people use flat sheets so then can fold over to exact size needed...but I have toddlers whom will wet the bed at some point for sure so need to get fitted waterproof mattress pads.

Does anyone know what size sheets fit both the dinette and the sofa best? Is there another obvious answer to my problem that I am not seeing?

Appreciate the help!!

I got mine from AB Lifestyles.

They can even make custom sheets and covers (our rear twin beds are slightly longer and wider than standard but that was no issue).

We just use a square sleeping bag for the pullout bed side. We only have one kid though so the dinette stays the way it is. Our boy has yet to wet the bed but I'm waiting for it. That leather is extremely durable so if you have enough bedding underneath them and catch it within a few hours there should be no lasting effect.

Our AS is much smaller than yours ,but in our first Bambi, Len felt the bed was a bit claustrophobic for two. He used to sleep on the dinette, made up as a bed every night. We didn't bother with sheets, but used one standard double sized comforter inside a cotton duvet cover. He slept on the bottom half, covered by the folded-over top half. At first I made up the dinette bed with sheets a couple of times, but it was too much effort for no real purpose.

With a little one apt to leak at night, you might buy a package of those disposable adult "piddle pads" from the drug store, to put underneath the bedding. And just make sure all the bedding is washable.

I agree with the sleeping bag idea, and kids love them.

If you look to do a lot of traveling, I would buy something meant for camping, rather than the occasional kid sleepover, as the cutesy ones with characters on them don't hold up well. LlBean sells nice ones.

You can lay a waterproof pad underneath them, and everything washes up nicely. The bedding then stows easily, too, minus all the conventional bed trappings.

We decided years ago that unconventional beds that must be made up every night call for unconventional bedding, and it really simplified our travel.

We went to an all season down comforter, with a washable duvet cover over it, and a quilted mattress pad. Voila!

Custom sheets are ridiculously expensive, in my opinion.

We found several years ago sleeping bag liners somewhere...maybe Cabela's, or some other camping outfitter. They were on clearance, $15 or so, and we bought several.

They are a sturdy, heavy fleece, with equally sturdy zippers, and my grands love them because they are so cozy. When it is cold, they are covered with something else.

Once you let go of the bed image in the promotional photos, it gets much simpler

Have fun!


Maggie

Yeah, my wife bought our boy a really nice sleeping bag that somewhat goes with the decor. We leave it out for the most part. It's also not the real slippery material so it stays on well. Everyone's camping experience got a LOT more enjoyable with that investment.

We did a king waterproof mattress pad and sheet for the dinette bunk.
In our EB the bench does not expand, so either a double or twin works for us
