    Most truck bunks are a twin size. Don’t waste money on the high dollar truck mattresses, trust me I have worn out my fair share! What I did was purchase one of those internet mattresses was either the Casper or the tulo anyway you get 100 nights to test it. And I pretty much knew it wasn’t going back after the first week!

    I brought a lightweight sleeping bag, a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, and a pillow.

    There are places in the US that get cold enough at night to need more than a sheet, even in August.

    I’d add a mattress pad to the list. Keeps the stank out of the mattress. Wash it every month or so.

    Well, sure, after you are in your own truck.

    I also have an 8-hide sheepskin blanket that I keep on the truck from October to April, just in case I get stuck somewhere seriously cold without enough fuel to keep the heat on.
     
    Jwhis Thanks this.

    3 comforters and 4 pillows always worked well for me.

    Yep, sleeping bag saved my bacon as my trainer was too cheap to idle the truck in freezing weather -
