odigity Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 Just spent my first night in my new (to me) used 2019 Keystone Outback 240URS. It was great, except for being on a naked and beat down mattress. Turns out the size is RV Short King which is 72" x 75". Searching on the internet, the only two vendors for that size mattress that I can find are: https://rvmattress.com/ https://restrightmattress.com/rv-king-mattress/ On both sites, the middle-quality option is about $1100, so not much difference there. But also... neither one offers sheets in that size. They both carry sheets, just not in that size. Which is stupid, and a terrible customer experience. So, my questions are: Are there any other vendors for RV Short King mattresses besides there two? Are there any vendors for RV Short King bed sheets at all?

sandsys Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 Amazon has short king sheets. Google also found other mattress makers.

odigity Posted June 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 I guess there are more options - weird they didn't show up last time I did my research, which was a few months ago. Just settled on this option for $600. They won me over with their tales of "Amish construction". https://amazon.com/Graphite-Mattress-Premium-Textured-Trailers/dp/B07VDBK6HW/ Quote TT: 2019 Keystone Outback 240URS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DKRITTER Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 Sleep Number makes a RV King, it's expensive and worth it! We buy our sheets on Amazon. Be sure and read the fine print to verify they are in fact RV King sheet set.

packnrat Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 cheaper. does not always say better. sure hurts the wallet less, for now. but hurts your back now. and really hurts the wallet latter when you pay again for a good mattress.

odigity Posted December 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 UPDATE: I've tried two different fitted sheets for my mattress so far, and both haven't fit as snugly as I want. Maybe my expectations aren't reasonable, or maybe the market has so far done a poor job of providing fitted sheets that will be super-snug on an 8" RV short king mattress. First one: https://amazon.com/Microfiber-Sheets-Campers-Trailers-Mattress/dp/B07MTG4P87/ Second one: https://amazon.com/Ras-Décor-Linen-Sheets-Motorhomes/dp/B07MBZ7PCS/ Quote TT: 2019 Keystone Outback 240URS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My experience is sheet makers think everyone is buying taller mattresses so sheets no longer fit tightly on regular ones. We use a pair of men's suspenders under the mattress to help keep our sheets on. We recently tried a thing called a bed scrunchie but it was more hassle than the suspenders and didn't work any better so it's about to be sent back for a refund. My sister-in-law makes her own fitted sheets by sewing up the corners of flat sheets. Hers fit.

I have these: https://amazon.com/Bed-Band-Assembled-Suspender-Patented/dp/B004I3VDWY/ I think they helped a little. Hard to be sure. Still not satisfied, though.

sandsys Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 We tried some of those bed band type holders but the only hold the corners so the middle of the sheet still tries to come off. The suspenders attach to middles so they work better for me.
