So the truck started of as a budget build and still kinda is. A lot of my early add on was more proof of concept and weather I like it or not. The finish work wasn’t as nice but I’m always been a function over form type guy. As the build progressed I gained a lot of interest especially out on the trail doing a lot of “tours” of my build. This has lead me back to wanting to clean up my early work to make it more presentable.
The bedding has always bugged me as everyone wants to see the interior set up. I started with a 4” memory foam topper I got lightly used for like $40 4 years ago. I trimmed it to fit the bed perfectly. Love sleeping on it and all I did was roll it up. Overtime it didn’t pack down as smoothly so I cut it into thirds which allowed me to stack it. It was much better but the finish looked janky. Cutting with scissors left a jagged finish lol.
Was debating on getting custom covers made but afraid of the cost. Been seeing a lot of tri fold mattresses lately and was like if I could only get the cover for them. Few searches online lead me to a set of queen tri fold cover on amazon for $35.
Tri fold cover showed up and I knew I would have to recut my three pieces of toppers to fit better. Since they zip up it didn’t need to be solid pieces. Worst case I buy a new topper or a complete tri fold mattress on Amazon for $165.
Anyways I got to work and fitted the covers into my trimmed topper and completely changed the look and feel. The cover has a nice smooth feel to them and the bottom is mesh that breathes.
Once laid out, I put my two sleep bag (open) down as extra layer of sheets. Than two blankets on top. Than I folded it back up. Why? Because at camp I can just pull the Tri fold open and my bed is already made. I have two extra blankets folded on top for those cold cold nights.
