Bedding

Pretty much every Idaho State Park bought their futons from the same place. They are OK futons as far as they go but we've found the mattresses are a tad on the thin and bony side. We've used identical futons at Massacre Rocks and Lake Walcott State Park cabins. Hence we knew enough to bring our own sleeping pads to supplement the futon mattress. Our Bed Sled holds two sleeping bags, two pads and four pillows. That's enough bivvy to insure a great night's sleep.

If you're a couple planning a yurt trip, the bedding arrangement easily allows you to sleep together. However, it's a royal pain to crawl over one another when Nature calls in the middle of the night. Hence, we sleep in separate bunks and get a great night's sleep. The top bunk is a perfect "clutter stuffer."

Note that if you are planning on bringing other people along on a yurt trip that only ONE person can sleep in each top bunk. Don't ignore that rule or serious injuries could result to people below an overweighted top bunk. I doubt I'd even feel safe sleeping a heavy adult up there. Kids or lightweight adults would be OK. Big guys? Not so much.
