Thank goodness for happy accidents! I brought what I thought were twin sheets out to the R Pod to put on the bunk, figuring I would be mashing them under and they wouldn't fit perfect and it would irritate me but I would live... I noticed once I got out there that they were actually a set of massage table sheets.

Turns out they fit like a glove! Maybe I'm not the first person to discover this, and if that's the case, sorry for the excited post, but I thought there might be others who like things to fit "just so." Smile

Here's a set on Amazon for $18.95:

Thanks for the tip!  I like the way massage table sheets wash and wear. Smile

I just had some fitted sheets custom made by a bedlinens tailor in China.  I think the cost was just under US$20 for 2 cotton fitted sheets (no pillow cases or flat sheets) plus shipping. The tailor did tell me that I could have a better price if I ordered more, but I just wanted to test their workmanship first :)

The bunks in our 152 are roughly 30" x 74" and I asked for the fitted sheets to fit a 6" mattress (standard pod  mattress plus 3" memory foam topper).

I had also ordered some "cot" sheets from Amazon but really did not like the colours or texture when I received them. http://www.amazon.com/Cot-Sheet-Set-White-Pieces/dp/B003MB4OUQ/ref=sr_1_5?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1365602771&sr=1-5&keywords=camp+cot+sheets

What a great idea using massage table sheets.Regular twin fitted sheet works but bunches too much. Will have to check it out.

That's a cool idea, too, ordering from a tailor!

Have fun outfitting your new pod, HappyCampers! You're going to have a blast!
