The king sized monster mattress in the Thunder was next to impossible to slide down to facilitate making the bed easier, especially with the felt like material on the frame top board. Oh and also the DW's bed skirt was a real PITA to keep straight and you know it had to be straight.
So I thought that if I arranged the skirt just perfect and shot a few staples to hold it in place and then cover the whole board top and skirt with a piece of vinyl flooring it would solve both problems. So off to Homedepot and picked up a remnant piece of cheap vinyl flooring 70" x 80". I liked to killed myself getting that king sized monster off the deck and standing up in the bedroom. On a side note it is interesting what is under that deck board and how it all slides in and out.
Got the skirt on and stapled down nice and pretty and placed the vinyl on top and screwed it down with Truss head screws about every foot or so, also I tucked about a inch of the vinyl under before screwing it down to give it a nice smooth edge. Flopped the monster mattress back on the deck and man what a difference. Now we won't break our backs making up the bed.
