Speaking of that, where do you get sheets for this thing? I don't see that mentioned in either article. I suppose they ought to be a bit easier to custom manufacture than the mattress itself.

I was wondering the same thing, it's in the original article: > I ordered a custom-sized bamboo bed set from Advanced Bedding. Their website had a form where I could just fill in the dimensions so it seemed like it would be the only purchase that didn't involve any human interaction, but they called to confirm anyway as the numbers were "unusual."

  Oops, I scanned for "sheet" and missed that paragraph among all the "gel sheet" stuff.

The other posts covered the sheet sizes, but this reminds me of something I forgot to include in my article. My comforter is too large for my washing machine, so I wash it in the tub every few months.

  This could be a post in its own. What kinda soap do you use?

    The process is roughly: Put comforter in tub Fill tub with cold water Add laundry detergent about halfway through Swirl it around with your hands (make sure you wear gloves, laundry detergent usually has bleach in it) and make sure at some point every part of the blanket goes under water. My tub is larger than most tubs (lip to lip is just under 6' long instead of 5' long) and it still can't completely fit in at once. Drain tub Repeat previous steps with cold water again but no soap this time to rinse it out Let it dry out for a couple days Enjoy clean comforter

  That sounds like a lot of work. Do you use anything to help like a plunger washer? Something like this? https://www.bridensolutions.ca/mobile-washer https://www.bridensolutions.ca/mobile-washer
