Jill:
For the curtain and cushion fabric I bought outdoor fabric from Jo-Ann's at a half price sale. I found some of the camping fabric there too, the other I bought at Fabric.com, all on sale, (is there any other way?). On the bottom of the cushions I used gray marine vinyl (also on sale at Jo-Ann's). I purchased a heavy outdoor thread for extra strength.
The bench/mattress covers are sewn with an envelope end, just like the pillows, so they can be removed easily for washing. It bunched a bit, which I am not pleased with, but it works quite well, so it will do.
This mattress that Jigs is sitting on here, actually goes on the floor to make use of the lower bunk and the floor space for comfortable sleeping when we have all six of us.

The foldout bed was harder to cover. Though it came with it's own cover, that one is a bit thin and catches snags. So, to prolong it's life I wanted to cover it. I bought a couch cover but it was all the wrong shape. Since I can't return it, I am considering how to re sew it to work. For now this flannel sheet is doing just fine, though a bit too unfitted for long term, and it fits nicely when folded out as well.
