Nice mod for your application.

Thanks! Actually, both the foot and the head of the bed of my 189 are wall-bound :0( but it is comfy!

I bought my 2006 FF Sport-X used... it had the original (YUCK) water-stained mattress in it. I bought a 4" memory foam mattress from JYSK and put it on top of two older 'foam' mattress pads that I'd saved from my old house queen bed, and put a cotton/elastic fit cover over the whole thing. Sleep like a dream. GREAT advantage in having a regular Q-Sized bed in this trailer!

If you put a channel in the foot end of the top sheet and slip a piece of PVC pipe in it shove that down between the mattress and the wall the top sheet stays nice. I have to have a straight top sheet LOL

Also it makes it very easy to get the top sheet on the bed.

I have a post on my blog about it with pictures here

Liz, that PVC solution is brilliant! Well done!

Thanks! I don't think I invented it but I have no idea how I came up with it. It sure works a lot better than sewing the top sheet to the bottom sheet which is how I started out trying to fix it. If you think it's hard to make up the bed now, try sewing the sheets together hahaha
