    Ummm, you will have to measure your mattress first, hand. Carry your sleeping bag. It will cover your bunk needs until you get moved in.

    They're not all the same size. I had one that was 38 inch wide and the current mattress is 42 wide.

    Good advice about the sleeping bag.

    What company are you heading to and what did they suggest you bring over all? <I am not talking about sheets>
