The van converts from a couch to a bed every day. To simplify the process, Beth made a set of fitted sheets for the two ottomans. We leave these on all the time.
The evening conversion is:
> Slipping a fitted sheet over the couch.
> Put the bed boards in
> Slide the two back rests over the bed boards
> Lower the couch
> Pull the top sheet and blanket from the overhead and unroll it onto the bed
We didn’t cover the two back rests (infill cushions) as our feet don’t really end-up resting on them.
She bought two sets of sheets, cutting up one of the fitted sheets for the ottomans and splicing a portion of the flat sheets together to make a bigger sheet that is easy to tuck in to the fully made up bed.
You can see how big the bed is when the couch is deployed.
