Single beds ?

[Hymerboy]

Single beds, do you use duvets or sleeping bags or something else ?

What about carpet, or rug, burns?

Aye, 'tis Burns night!

Be on top, no burns!

Duvets. I wouldn’t use a sleeping bag at home, so why would I whilst in my van.

I absolutely love my sleeping bag. Since we went to single beds because of the loo in the night problem we use bags now. Mine is so cosy I am tempted to get one for home in winter. It's a great Coleman bag with brushed cotton lining. Partner was reluctant at first but now loves his bag too. We are also glad not to have to pull out the double bed as one of us always suffered inder the overhead cab shelf.

Sally as a sleeping bag

Hopefully she won't read that.

Can't abide sleeping bags so we used duvet in our single bedded PVC but the standard single ones were too wide so I cut about 6 inches off and stitched them up, same with the covers, perfect fit then and they didn't try to slide off the bed in the night!

One good way to keep a duvet 'captive' is to use a single but put it in a double cover then you can tuck the excess cover in at the side of wall side of the bed.

And run a seam (12 ins or so) down one side of the cover so it remains empty, to tuck down the side wall of the van.

Duvets, with one side tucked down the edge of the mattress by the wall.

We're camping out tonight in our daughter's house using our motorhome single duvets on a small double bed. When I got up the third time, I got in a muggle in the dark and ended up with my duvet upside down. Two singles one double no worky

Interesting that we're not the only ones who have a double to ourselves.

MH doubles are doubles in name only. Much better as big singles. And if we wish we can close two sliding doors between us

Double bed 2 duvets, used a sleeping bag in the doblo though.
when we had the overcabs we had a double each, could get 4 children all tall aged 7-13 in the Escape overcab, they wanted a sleep over with friends. The one in the Mizar was even bigger, but when grandkids had the over garage I ended up on the plastic, trinket shelf at the front with my nose up against the roof lining,
Would have like a drop down front as well as the over garage double on this one, but there has to be some compromise.

You'd better get a Carthago then ... proper doubles in ours!

Duvet. The k8nd you do not need a cover for and are machine washable. TOG 4.5 is fine.

Some folks extol the benefits of a silk duvet, saying they are perfect for both summer and winter. Anyone tried them? I do like my silk pillowcases - they keep your head cooler and the lack of friction helps keep your hair less frizzy.

Never used silk, sounds expensive. But I can heartily endorse my wool filled duvets sold by Baavet.
