Sorry you will need to get a normal single flat or king single and sew a fold over on each end for bottom sheet, with a fold on bottom only for top

Been there but never found such sheet myself. Have 3 different ways of overcoming that:

1. Slip the mattress into a single doona cover.
2. Make a single cover by folding over a double sheet and sewing up one end and the side.
3. Clip the underneath of a fitted sheet with a pair of these (both across or one across and one length ways.

I have single beds in the aluminium TeePee and put what I call 'egg cartons' (overlay) on top of the mattress and a single sheet on that, tuck it in and there is no movement. Works well for me.

I get the 'egg carton' from that rubber place and the owner is Clark. I get a queen size one and get them to cut it to size for me. Does both single beds.



Keep Safe on the roads and out there. In the bed as well smile
