Seneca over cab bed sheets

The over cab sheets seem to be an odd size.
What is everyone using or where are you finding sheets for the bunk over the cab ?

I use a Travasak sleep system up there which is essentially a queen-size sleeping bag with removable sheets. It has a summer side and a thicker winter side for more versatility. The top and bottom halves unzip so they can be laundered. "Making" the bed takes only seconds.

They don't make Travasak anymore however, but RVSuperbag does market a similar product. I have their bedpread model on my rear bed that is similar to the Travasak but has more options. Very pleased with our sleep systems.

We looked at the 2019 at the RV show... and the overcab bed does not appear to be the same size as our 2015 FK. Sheets / bedding for the overcab is in my opinion a miserable amout of work.

In our previous Class C, we managed to put a traditional Queen mattress in it, and built a storage/headboard to take up the additional length the mattress did not fill. We had incorrectly thought that we could use traditional linens and blankets and make it as close to home as we could.. (even with fancy high thread count sheets and all)
--- It lasted about three trips and got tossed - we turned to something that Robbbby describes above, but more primitave.

Coleman makes a lot of different sleeping bags that all have the same dimensions, they can be put together to make up a (slightly larger than) queen sized bedding. They make bags that are 50F, 40F, 30F, 20F and better, and we put a 30F and a 50F together. Zip the two together, and if it is gonna be cold, we put the 30F on top. (Since we got the Seneca later on, we just keep the 50F on top. ) We pull the two out after camping trips and just separate them and put them in the washer/dryer.

Then making the overcab bed is a lot easier by throwing the zipped up combination up in the overcab and then trying to get it made while climbing up there.

oh... and if you have kids that are going to be sleeping up there with their friends they bring along... sometimes a better idea is to put a TARP over the mattress, then individual sleeping bags (kids like having their own sleeping bag to themselves) on the tarp. Think about all the stuff they sneak up there into the overcab... Gum, candy, soda and other stuff they picked up in the campground - and (god forbid if they wet their sleeping bag) does not make it into the overcab fabric!. Harbor Freight has one that is almost perfect size, and is the same color brown that does not give things away.
