    I kept a sleeping bag, but to be honest unless it was very cold I slept under a comforter.

    I always used a sleeping bag and carried a light blanket to use in case being inside the sleeping bag got too hot.
    I used a huge over size sleeping bag, large enough for me and the wife.

    On my bed at home... :)

    But in my OTR days, while training I used a sleeping bag. It's just easier for the few weeks needed.
    In my own truck I used sheets and blankets. Easier to wash when dirty, easier to remove in the middle of the night, etc.
     
    Dan.S and Nothereoften Thank this.

    I purchased a memory foam mattress from mattressfirm and it was like a foot thick.. Best sleep I ever got in a truck and I usually sleep under really thick blankets.

    2 sleeping bags, one underneath and one as a cover.
    I have a great bunk and sleep well.
