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."  Here's a set on Amazon for $18.95: http://www.amazon.com/Massage-Table-Sheet-Set-Cotton/dp/B001CHCQ9I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1362955491&sr=8-1&keywords=massage+table+sheets ------------- John, Rachel & Joey Frodo & Olivia (the big dawgs) '08 Toyota Highlander 2011 R Pod 176 Bunkhouse |

Thanks for the tip! I like the way massage table sheets wash and wear. 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 - 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 ------------- ChaiPod 2009 RP152 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe 3.5L V6 |

What a great idea using massage table sheets.Regular twin fitted sheet works but bunches too much. Will have to check it out. ------------- Randy and Anne 2011 R-Pod 182G 2009 Highlander V6 AWD |

That's a cool idea, too, ordering from a tailor! Have fun outfitting your new pod, HappyCampers! You're going to have a blast! ------------- John, Rachel & Joey Frodo & Olivia (the big dawgs) '08 Toyota Highlander 2011 R Pod 176 Bunkhouse |
