cgpnomad Posted June 16, 2021 Posted June 16, 2021 We are purchasing the 2 twin beds for our new trailer but would like to get custom pillows also to use the beds as couches during the day...we saw these when we looked at Galway Girl's trailer but don't remember where they got theirs. Also curious if people use just standard twin bedding or if you use custom bedding and if so where you purchased etc.
Time2Go! Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 We purchased the Venetian Cotton sheets from ABLifestyles.net They have custom sheets for Oliver that have the radius for the corners. They have different sheets types (cotton, Venetian cotton, etc). They come in a set of 2. Another thing I love about the sheets is that the top flat sheet also has elastic on the bottom in to keep it from pulling out. I love the feel of the ones we purchased. I was also lucky enough to purchase a brand new unopened set of mattress pads from someone on the forum who had ordered a new trailer and bought them. However they found a used trailer they purchased instead that didn't have mattresses so they sold the pads to me. I got a great deal on them 🙂 Cindy Charlie & Cindy / Cleburne, TX / 2021 Elite II Hull #743 / 2013 Ford F250 Diesel 4WD Supercab States we've camped in our Oliver:
Bertrands Posted June 18, 2021 Posted June 18, 2021 We picked up Hull #776 in April. I purchased the mattress pads from ABLifestyles.net like many others. However, I wanted something more custom for the bedding. Also, I didn't really have a budget so I just picked what I liked. After a lot of searching, I found Tess Weber-Popejoy from BackroadsMama on Facebook and Etsy. Unfortunately, she is taking a break from sewing so I don't think she'd be able to take on another project. There are several other Etsy shops that can make custom RV bedding. I provided Tess with the measurements for the mattresses and had success after an initial adjustment for the depth (needs to be at least 8"). The top sheet is sewn into the bottom of the fitted sheet, which keeps everything tucked in during the night. Tess made additional pillow cases out of different fabric in the "campfire" fabric collection. She also made throw pillow covers and placemats. I even had her make fitted sheets for the dinette when it's folded down into a bed. Our dog sometimes uses this as a bed so we wanted two covers that would protect the cushion fabric. I've posted some photos below. My husband and I are going to make a YouTube video this weekend to walk through the interior of our trailer. There aren't too many videos for of the interior so we thought prospective buyers might appreciate it. Our channel is called Tenacious Traveler and we are really just experimenting so it's not too profession looking (yet). Best wishes as you begin your Oliver camping journey!

Kaleigh Posted July 10, 2021 Posted July 10, 2021 We are using beddys the prior owner actually gave us. They’re awesome! You do have to tuck the one side a bit so they aren’t necessarily custom, but the zip feature makes our beds always look made very quickly. My husband and I are both a little OCD and having the beds not look cluttered is relaxing for us. 1
kathief Posted July 23, 2021 Posted July 23, 2021 Hi Kaleigh, I was looking at the beddy's too. Like you, I don't like having the bed looking unkept especially in such a tight space. Do you have the twin bed size? Kathie
Pamela Champion Posted December 31, 2021 Posted December 31, 2021 I purchased "Cot" sized sheets (75" x 30"), 100% cotton from Amazon...great price. Fit perfectly. 1
Nancy K. Posted December 31, 2021 Posted December 31, 2021 I made all our own bedding. If you buy queen bedding, cut it in half, cut the curves, and then serge the edges it will work great. 1 "Creativity is the fun of putting together unexpected ideas." Hazel Edwards
Aluecker Posted December 31, 2021 Posted December 31, 2021 We got sheets from AB Lifestyle. Fit and comfort is really good.
VBistro Posted December 31, 2021 Posted December 31, 2021 Thanks for posting the measurements. I'm not terribly crafty, but my sister is, so.....you never know when she can be convinced to sew me something! 🙂 MaryBeth Boulder, CO 2022 Elite II #953 TV: 2021 Ford Expedition Max Platinum, Max Tow Package
