We dont have a fixed bed, personally they just arent for me. We have traditionally always had sleeping bags in the van ( pull the slates out and make the bed up) But I hate the cold zip.

Does anyone else use the same bed arrangement? Ifrom so what do you do?

Many thanks for helping.

Proper sheets and duvet on a fixed bed in my 'van with one of these 3-way duvets. Keep the part not in use in the emergencies box under the bed in case of an accident. Not yet had to use both parts at same time as best method for dealing with a cold night is cuddling.

We have the heating on at home and in the van up until 21.30 then it goes off until I stir at 07.00, but I jump back into bed until it warms upWink hate a warm room for sleeping in much prefer a cosy duvet to snuggle under.

We don't have fixed bed either.  Got fed up with putting sheet on each night. Have bought lightweight duvet and cover to act as combined mattress topper and bottom 'sheet' so I just need to roll it up and stow during day.  Just need to sort  out trip away to try it out

We have fixed twin beds and use a double duvet on top of memory foam topper, lay on one half and cover up with the other half. Works a treat and just tidy them up in the morning and leave on top of bed, no need to store them away. 2 x 10.5 tog rated is just right.

I don't like sleeping bags, so we use duvets. Always carry two, then if use double, which is most of time, one under, one over. In caravan, we sometimes sleep single on benches, so a double duvet each, rolled around! Snugly! No heating on, don't like van/MH too warm. Can cope with a one dog tog rating, but two gets too warm! Three dog tog is only for temps under -10c!Happy
