Makes me wonder what the rationale is for something like this. Are they doing it for aesthetic reasons? LOL (Sorry, should've read all the posts first.)

Any hoo quilt for bed. I know you don't want to give away secret of what your doing and ruin surprise. My suggestion is atleast 90 to 100" inches long and since the matress is about 35 to 37 inches wide I suggest about at least a 70 to 75 inch wide on that. My hubby's matress is 82 inches long and the will differ on both width and legnth depending on the brand of matress. The companies all use different brands depending on the price. One year they may buy this brand and next year a different , because of the incentive or deal that they are being offered. I have taken my own twin and put into a truck because I couldn't sleep on the company's matress and get a decent nights sleep. Just made sure I replaced their matress when I tturned in the truck or had to switch trucks. Good luck , and Happy Holidays!!

With the mess many states are in it shows just what the politicians have on their list of priorities. This is where government goes too far. I would love to know what states these are. I have some emails to fire off. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

It was some NITWIT that had nothing else to do, I guess. My Dad travels all over the US so I have no idea where it was. I couldn't believe it when he told us.

I've been a long haul driver for many years and I have never heard of such a stupid thing. Sorry but, D.O.T. does not have the right to do that. Did your dad show you the ticket?
