We just used standard bedding based on a normal double, and used sleeping bags. . Sleeping bags being preferred as no one gets to loose any covers over them, and being 6ft 4 in and having the cut off corner section at my foot end I kept my toesies warm.

I use normal continental quilt in my Lunar Venus, no problems 😊. The tailor made ones are expensive. Must state my bed is normal square type.

We have the tailored fitted bedsheet, but all the rest is normally bedding.

 

[Mr Plodd]

Standard double fitted sheet on the bottom and king sized duvet.
The bottom sheet is secured using some of These around the bottom.

All works a treat for us. We did look at the fully shaped fitted sheets but thought them a bit expensive.

Wife was looking at sheets, just for the fit.

We looked at the shaped duvet covers & saw £170, nearly passed out, my aberdeen heart was having palpitations lol

We use those clips to keep the covers in place on the front bunks.

The fitted sheet from Jonic is about £20-£25, but is very good quality.

We have 2 fixed single beds. We use standard linens and quilt covers for single beds.

Those clips look good, 👌 will need to invest in a set.

Same as home. An ordinary fitted sheet. But first we place a thick mattress topper on top of the original, You choose the filling that suits you best. Guarantees a good nights sleep. Then it’s the full size double duvet, shared. Easy and simple to wash etc

Blue bailing twine, great stuff 100,s of uses, and it's free, just take a walk about the fields 👍

We bought the fitted sheets at first then just went for normal bed fitted sheets, with a thin 2 inch topper from Dunhelm. I like the "Suspenders" that Plod suggested.
We bought a very expensive Memory foam mattress £700 cut to fit the side bed. Mrs H didn't like it, had to give it away in the end.

If you are using cottages why are you still using your own fitted sheet and sleeping bags? I thought that this was all supplied when renting a cottage?

Not all self contained accommodation provides bed linen. Some will include it as an extra. Some require you to bring your own. But things like blankets or duvets are normally supplied.
