Bunk corner covers

How about something a little less controversial.  We purchased our pup a little over three years ago at an RV show in Dayton.  One of the vendors at the show had some plastic, triangular pockets that fit over the corners of the bunk ends to hold oversize sheets in place.  Naturally, I didn?t have enough sense to buy them.  I have searched the internet, and various parts catalogues, but have not seen them since.  Does anyone, have them, use them, or know where to find them?

I have not seen the plastic corners.  I have seen elastic straps with "teeth" at each end to hold sheets in place.  I use bottom sheets with elastic all the way around and have not had a problem with my sheets coming off.:D

The bunk is supposed to be a king, but queen sheets are too small, and king sheets are too big and deep.  We use a fitted bottom sheet, but still seem to pull them off at the corners.  I like the elastic idea.  DW is real good with a sewing machine, and she may be able to make something with fabric, elastic and snaps.

We have the same issue, sorta. We use a Queen blow-up with fitted sheets on top of the pup mattress, but since we put an opened sleeping bag on top of the blow-up (for insulation and cushiness), it gets too thick for the fitted sheets to fit properly. We found fitted sheets made for blow-up mattresses and they work pretty well. Also, saw on one of the forums (PUT or PUX) what I thought was a really good idea: suspenders. Yup, that's right. Somebody came up with the idea of using a pair of men's suspenders with the clips on the ends. 4 clips, 4 bed corners. I haven't tried them yet, but I've got a pair of suspenders at the ready for our 1st trip the end of this month.
 
Might be something to think about.

These sound interesting... I'd love to see pics if you happen to find them :)  I've given up on fitted sheet and just use fleece blankets over the mattress now :/
