Bedding

[Mary4578]

Hello fellow hosts!  I am brand new, my first guests arrive next week.

I have a fold-out couch which opens to 3' wide x 5'6 long.  I'm having trouble finding mattress cover & bedsheets that will fit that size.

Any suggestions?

@Mary4578 Flat sheets will fit any (smaller) size of bed

Amazon.com or Overstock.com

Try to find a bargain. People ruin linens.

I have an odd-sized bed as well, @Mary4578 . It's 4 ft x 6 ft. I use full/double protectors and sheets for it and just tuck the extra material under the mattress as neatly as I can. It looks good, works well, and no one has complained. 

Will the guests be making up your fold-out couch themselves, though? I suppose in that case they might message you saying the sheets don't fit. Best if you can determine when guests will need the couch and fold it out and make it up yourself if that's possible. Otherwise just explain about the odd size.

All the best with hosting!

@Mary4578  If you buy flat sheets that would be large enough, any competent seamstress could create a fitted sheet out of it in the correct dimensions. Same with a mattress protector- a too large one could be altered to fit.
