So a little help would be appreciated. The selection of bedding for our new rig has been delegated to the dear wife. (not that I had a choice) And she is going nuts trying to figure this out.
So any suggestions? What to use? Where to buy?
We are getting one of the 2017 "power beds" so it will extend in use. That I am sure makes this harder, but really any help, ideas or suggestions would be great.

All of us have gone through the odd size "bedding" challenges. >8)
We have found that the odd shape of the rear corner mattress in our 2350 is best addressed with full size flannel cotton sheets. We shrink the heck out of them so much that the fitted sheet fits the odd shape quite nicely without a fuss. The flat sheet also shrinks nicely to work with the bed size.

John, apologize for going off topic but curious about the power bed. How does it affect getting access to the area under the passenger side bed? Thanks!

Mike, since the rig is not built yet I cannot say for sure. But, I think there will not be much difference, top plywood panel screwed down to a movable frame. With all the water, heat and electrical gear in their it has to be accessible. Hopefully that is not wishful thinking (WH)

We have the same mattresses as used on the 2552, 68" and 74" long and have great success with standard twin sheets using 3 or 4 elastic mattress clips underneath to take up excess sheeting keeping everything smooth and taught on top.

Check out "ablifestyles.net". We have been ordering bedding from them for 8 years now and have been very pleased with their products Made in the USA and they will custom make sheets if they do not have what you need in stock.

We got our sheets from ablifestyles also. They fit nicely. We even ordered a second pillow case for each bed. We got the short bed in mint green (wife's) and the longer one (mine) in tan. It makes it easier when making the beds to know which goes on which bed.

We have a 2351 with rear side bed. I sleep on the rear bed and the DW sleeps on the power sofa with a mattress cover she made for placing over the sofa cushions. We both sleep in Trava-Sacks. Dont know if they are made anymore. A trava sack is just a sleeping bag but has a summer side and a winter side.

AB Lifestyles has a "standard" size option of 34X75 and says it will fit a 6" mattress. The long bunk on a 2551/2 is 34X74 and with a 7" mattress per PC.
Has anyone tried the AB Lifestyles 34X75 on a long PC bunk? How did it work?

Yep, it works great. They made one for the short bed. We went with light green for the short and tan for the long. Makes it easier when making the beds to get the right one on each bed. We also got two pillow cases for each bed. Good company to deal with.

And we too got our sheets custom made there... Very happy with them.

You saw our sheets... By AB Lifestyles.

Probably but my memory isn't clear.
I was trying to distinguish between the custom ordered ones and the standard sheet set they offer. Hoping to get by with the standard size sheets from AB Lifestyles. I did go ahead and order the standard 34X75 set.
