possibly im a bit thick, but does anyone have a good system of putting a fitted sheet on a cut-off mattress, lack of space at the side of the bed and dealer extra mattress make life a bit tedious. im tired of being on the floor with the dam thing on top
of me, any tips would be appreciated. regards bob

    Used the same technique in our old swift with corner bed, as BB says, a bit of a pain but, with practice, achievable

    Cannot do that with ours, it's too thick and solid to be able to lift a corner when kneeling on it!

    I pull it off the bed and stand it on edge while I get the sheet over the wall edge, then the rest is easy.

    Using a stretchy sheet helps.

    We felt that our Swift French bed mattress was less than ideally comfortable, so decided, at considerable expense, to replace it with a Duvalay mattress, as fitted to new Swift vans. A few unexpected benefits beside improved comfort arose. It's much lighter than the original, increasing payload, the counterbalanced bed is easier to raise and best of all, you can easily lift a corner to fit a sheet while kneeling on it. Duvalay mattresses are far more flexible than the original.
