I have cut down sheets and blankets as well as spreads
for the 2 major berths on the boat, used cotton sheets
from goodwill and value village, maybe 2 bucks a set,
and they looked new when bought. and used elastic
around the sides to keep them in place, works very
well. Just a little sewing required.
