A friend of mine in Georgia had these neat sheets that used a drawstring to
customize the fit for air mattresses.  He seemed to think they were made by
Colemand and bought at W*lmart.  However they worked well and I think they
would work well on a Westfalia bed.  Anyone know what I'm talking about?
