We did a "test fit" of the Beddy's bedding in the Roadtrek today. Joan is still working on cutting a quilt to fit that will be a bed cover when we're using the beds as our couches. Here's a look:
The bed on the right with the Beddy's, the left bed is the tan leather...
I was originally not in favor of covering that pretty leather, but this makes more sense on how we will use it. In the photo above, the bolsters (backrests) are out. Odds are pretty good those will stay out; again, the bolsters look great, but take up a LOT of room when you move them to make that area into twin beds.
Covering the passenger side bed with a mattress pad Joan cut to fit...
The Beddy's put in on both sides...
Adding some pillows...
The bedding has sheets top and bottom that unzip to take out for washing. The ends of the beds (at the far end in the photo) raise up to make a recliner of sorts (that's a Roadtrek feature). Some people use these fans for day-tripping, so the seating is more essential than the fact that they make into beds.
Next step: trying a quilt on the left side...
The quilt will be the bed cover so we don't grub up the bedding while sitting back there. There will be another one on the right side when Joan is done with it. I think the quilt is a good compliment in color and style. We picked out the colors/patterns on the bedding and quilt to match the tan on the walls, gray flooring and cabinets, and the white countertop.
Without the leather bolsters in there, we need to have something to make it comfortable for sitting. We tried a couple things that are made for sitting up in bed, but they weren't comfortable. Joan suggested that we use pillows so we can add, subtract, and move them around as needed... that worked out to be comfortable and looks good. We have shams that match the quilt and the Beddy's. They will go behind our backs as necessary when sitting, then moved to the head of the bed for sleeping.
Joan is deciding how to shape and stitch the quilt so it won't move around when we're driving. That's in the works currently...
