Mattress Covers and Sheets....

Is there a source for sheets and mattress covers that fit snugly? Not as concerned about sheets as the mattress covers.  Having snug fitted sheets would be a bonus. The covers and sheets I bought are for regular full and queen sized mattresses.  Of course they are way too big, they get caught in the tracks and they get ripped(the mattress covers, not the sheets).  DH looked at Cabelas but didn't see anything.  Does anyone have a fix?   I thought about buying new covers and duct taping them on the underside to make them snug.  Any better ideas?  The sheets are easier to tuck than the covers!

Our Starcraft is a 1701L. So the beds aren't as big as other pups.

We have used the sheet suspender things. There is a clip at each end with elastic in the middle. Keep sheets and blankets in place.

Sheets USA has just what you are looking for.  Prices seem reasonable.  I have not yet splurged for them but think about it after every trip spent fighting with ill fitting sheets!

I know my wife got tired of the sheets not fitting right so she hit wally world for some fabric and just sewed up new ones as though they were hugh pillow cases that slide right over the mattresses.  Just a thought.

I just checked out the one piece sheet set in our Coleman Bayside and they are made by Humboldt Specialty Mfg. Co.
Their sheets are sold under SheetsUSA.com.  The following is a quote from their FAQ page.

A sheet set includes one fitted bottom sheet, one flat top sheet and two pillowcases, (standard, queen, or king) depending upon mattress size. The top sheet is sewn to the bottom sheet in a unique patented way. Two rectangular pockets are sewn into the sheet set (one at the top and one at the bottom). This design avoids the use of elastic, which loses it

I use standard sheets that have elastic all the way around.  There is plenty to tuck in at the bottom.  I also tuck the blankets and comforter in on all 3 sides when closing down the PU.  This way nothing gets into the bed slides.:)

I have regular king sized sheets for my bunkends and don't mind having the extra.  After I open the camper I go around and tuck the sheets and blanket in nicely.  It stays in place just fine.  When closing up after I undo the elastics I tuck in again before pushing in the ends.  

All that tucking takes an extra minute or two and having enough to tuck keeps it nice and neat.
