Elaine,

We use a fitted sheet and just fold the top sheet/quilt from the sides and foot onto the mattress pull the two mattress retainer (elastic) over the two ends and lift all into the wall unit. Pillows are stowed in a locker due to the max 12" depth for mattress and covers.

Very nice job! I have been after my husband for some time to make me a similar Murphy bed! I will make the quilt for it, though. The parts just for the up/down mechanism are pretty expensive, plus it looks like you used a nice wood for the frame - what kind?

Wow! That is a beautiful bed and a beautiful quilt. I can't imagine doing all of that, much less all at the same time. You are good at all of that work.
