Elite double bed


Recommended Posts

Hi, Bob and I (Barb) just purchased an Elite and brought it home yesterday.  We are very excited and have several questions.  I will start with the bedding.  It is a bit smaller than a double bed, with rounded corners on two sides.  Since our cushions are leather, we want to put a mattress pad on the cushions.

1.Has anyone had any success getting a mattress pad that would fit or would we need to cut down the corners?

2.Any thoughts on sheets that would work with the rounded corners?

Thanks for your help.

Many of us have cut foam mattresses to radius a corner. I'm doing this again in the next two weeks on new mattresses from Brooklyn Bedding as soon as Chris removes the underside stitching. Want the mattress cover to be intact, cut the foam inside and then will hand stitch the cover in each corner.

Many mattress sizes here: Dreamfoam Essential - RV (rvmattress.com)

We have twin single mattresses in an Elite II, but the idea is the same. I used a large piece of cardboard to create a template for the radiused corners. As far sheets, we just buy twin sheets which fit well on a tall single mattress. Then we use these: Amazon.com: RayTour Bed Sheet Holder Straps Sheet Stays Keepers Bedsheet Holders Fasteners - Elastic Adjustable Bedsheet Holders for a Wrinkle Bed Sheet : Home & Kitchen which they have for corners and there are other kinds.
