We have a Rest-Easy Dual Control couch in our motorhome. How do you make that up into a bed for guests? Seems like the bedding just slides around and never fits. Is there something out there made for these beds?:banghead:
 
Same as a leather jack-knife bed. My wife bought these stretchy straps that had garter like clips on the ends. You clip them on the bottom side of the sheet run it under the bed and it clips to the other bottom side of the sheet, it worked, kept the sheets from sliding around.
 
We purchased a full sized foam pad (one of the egg crate looking ones) and put it sideways just below the pillow back and cover it with a mattress pad and then make the bed. The foam pad equalsizes the height of the bed to the pillows backs and will not slide around on the leather seating surface. It sleeps quite confortably as well.
 
We use regular queen size bed sheets. The key seems to be the two corners closest to the wall -- If we take care to get the fitted corners well under/around the corners closest to the wall, we have no problem with them coming off.
 
We tried just using the Queen Sheets (even with a mattress pad) and they just slid all over the leather seating area! The foam pad grips the leather and provides a level, non-slip sleeping surface. We thought about the garters, but could not find any.
