new DX3 bed sizes

I'm about to buy a 2017 DX3 37RB can anyone tell me how these manuf. come up with bed sizes. This model has a king that is 66.5" X 75" most others are 72" X 75" . Where are you to buy sheets and so for such bastard sizes?

I just tuck the sheets I have in. Works OK. I'd prefer to get sheets I like than the few options there are for RV bed sized sheets.

Seems like all the RV beds are shorter than the "standard" sizes. My thought is its got something to do withe overall vehicle width with the slides in. Would probably have to make some serious floor plan sacrifices to fit a 72" wide bed.

You're spot on... With the width of the coach, minus the slide room when retracted, we have to accommodate a shorter mattress or lose out on much needed storage space. There is always a compromise, just a matter of what and where.
