Lippert Bedding Made for Sleeper Mattresses

Lippert Components has introduced a line of adjustable sheet sets that are designed to securely fit the wider longer mattresses commonly found in Class 8 sleeper cabins.

The somnum adjustable twin XL sheet sets are made from brushed microfiber. A drawstring integrated into the fitted sheet, promotes a snug fit for unconventional mattress sizes and shapes up to 42-inches wide.

The sheets were designed by LCI to address driver complaints about the lack of suitable, commercially available bedding accessories that fit a sleeper mattress.

“In most every conversation we have with truck drivers, they mention that they can't find sheets that fit their sleeper mattress,” said Mike Padrnos, business development manager at LCI. “We've designed this product to address the common issues drivers have with standard bedding.”

The somnum adjustable fitted sheet cinches to the actual size of the mattress, helping it stay in place without excess sheet material needing to be knotted, folded or tucked away under the corner of the bed.

The somnum adjustable twin XL sheet sets include:

  • One extra-large top sheet
  • One adjustable bottom sheet with an integrated drawstring
  • Two standard pillowcases

The sheets sets are available through all Freightliner and Western Star as well as select somnum distributors.
