When DH had the truck, it had an x-long twin mattress.
Is your BFF thin or round? If thin, maybe only 54 inches wide by about 90 inches long. The extra length to tuck in or to pull over his head if it's really cold.
Don't make it any wider than necessary, because those bunks are really hard to make up nicely.
I'm trying to not ask anything, since his 50th birthday is Jan 13th and I'd like it to be a surprise...so I asked you guys instead! He's a pretty slender 5'8" so I'm going to make it extra long and put 60" fleece on the back for extra snuggliness. I may also put batting inside for extra warmth. His rig is red, and we met in high school where the school colors were red and black, so a red, black and white color scheme is just a natural. I'm thinking of an oversized Friendship Star.....with maybe 33 stars for 33 years of friendship and then a couple of something else to round it out to 5 x 7 blocks with a border. Any other ideas?
