Top tips for easy caravan bed making

Ever tried making your caravan bed after a long day on the road? Picture this: you finally pull into the holiday park after hours of driving, dreaming of a hot shower and a comfy bed. You open the caravan door, stretch your legs, and then… face the ultimate test of patience — putting the sheets on the bed.

You’re wedged between walls, elbows jammed against cupboards, wrestling with a fitted sheet that refuses to stretch that extra centimetre. It’s a full-body workout you didn’t sign up for!

We asked the team at MeanderWild for some hacks to make camping so much smoother:

"Say goodbye to wrestling with oversized sheets, daggy corners, and uncomfortable caravan mattresses. With a Dreamer RV mattress topper and MeanderWild sheets, your caravan bed will be ready for sweet dreams.

Making a bed in a caravan or bunk can feel like an Olympic sport. But with the right setup, you can turn even the most awkward space into a soft, stylish retreat that’s comfortable, fuss-free, and complements your van interior.

1. Start with comfort

Caravan mattresses aren’t exactly known for luxury — but that’s where a Dreamer RV mattress topper comes in. Designed to fit caravan beds perfectly, it’s made from high-quality memory foam infused with cooling gel to regulate temperature through the night.

The lightweight design and anti-slip base keep it secure, while the removable, washable cover makes life on the road that much easier. With comfort like this, you’ll look forward to bedtime in your caravan.

2. Sheets that keep up

Forget wrestling with oversized sheets or dealing with daggy corners. MeanderWild Sheet Sets are made specifically for caravan and bunk beds — soft, durable, and perfectly fitted so they stay put all night.

Their zip sheets take the struggle out of bed-making: the fitted sheet zips to the flat sheet, so instead of tucking and twisting in a tight space, you simply zip — and you’re done. Neat, fast, and fuss-free — exactly how van life should be.

3. Layer like a pro

Getting your layers right makes all the difference:

• Wanderluxe Mattress Topper: the secret to a good night’s sleep in your caravan.
• Waterproof Mattress protector: keeps your mattress fresh and safe from spills and the realities of caravan life.
• MeanderWild Roaming Sheet Set: luxuriously soft, and designed to fit — making every night in your caravan feel like a treat.
• Into the Wild doona cover: reversible flax linen inspired by Australia’s landscapes, adding texture and tone that complement your van interiors.

4. Keep it simple (and stylish)

The key to fast, comfy beds? Choose products designed for caravans. From Dreamer RV toppers to MeanderWild sheets, everything fits snugly, looks great, and works hard — so your mornings stay slow, your space feels inviting, and your bed complements your caravan style effortlessly."

Feeling inspired to hit the road?

So the next time you roll into your holiday park and eye the caravan bed-making ritual, take a deep breath, zip up the sheet set, and reward yourself with a well-deserved rest, because smooth bedding means more time for what really matters: relaxing together at home-away-from-home.
