Exped Mega Mat - fitted sheets or other bedding options?

Planning on using an Exped Mega Mat 30" x 78" x 4" in a semi-permanent type of setup in an enclosed off road trailer. Will be using for extended periods of time. I have a lot of sleeping bags, but would like to use sheets/blankets/comforter, etc. for a more comfortable "domestic" setup. Another advantage would be the ability to launder the sheets (could have two sets ideally). I'll rarely be inflating/deflating mattress, might even use a 1" or 1.5" foam topper.

So my question for those who have the Exped is what kind of bedding do you use? Anyone doing what I have described? Are there fitted sheets available in that size? Appreciate any info on this inquiry. TIA.

RV Superbag looks good but don't see one in a 30" width. Also trying to get away from the "bag" scenario.
Ideally would want fitted sheets in the size I need ( 30" x 78" x 5"). Would like to put a 1" foam topper on top of the 4" Exped mattress.

I did see awhile ago on the net a company that made custom size fitted sheets for truckers in their sleepers, but as I remember they were pretty pricey. I'll do some more research on that and report what I find.

Following.

The Exped Mega Mat has been the best money I've ever spent on camping gear. Have had one for a couple years now and totally satisfied. I'm a big guy (250+) and can go three nights on it without having to add any air.

Have you tried a twin sized fitted sheet? Looks close to me and if the fitted bottom sheet is not then throw a few darts in it with a needle and thread.

I modified a twin bottom fitted sheet and let the top sheet run wild. Summer 450 thread count and flannel sheets in the winter.

Looks like Custom Linens Direct as linked above (thx OCD Overland) has a 30" x 80" product that should work. Thanks for all the comments.

I had a queen flat sheet that had been replaced after my dog ripped up on side. I sewed it into a sleeve and pump up my mega mat inside of it. Works great.
