Bedbug sheets?

i have bought lightweight silk/cotton blend fabric (very ugly colour but good price) to make a fitted sheet to treat for bedbugs. What size are typical bunk beds on the Camino?
 
New Original Camino Gear Designed Especially with The Modern Peregrino In Mind!
The standard European single bed is 90cm x 200cm, compared to the US standard of 35" x 75" (99cm x 191cm). I recall most albergue mattresses being on the slim size, perhaps 10cm - 15cm or so thick. The difficulty would be where you are provided with gym mats rather than mattresses, which seem to be around 120 cm x 240 cm in US based on-line retailers, and much thinner than the other mattresses. You can find more detail here.
 
Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.

€149,-
I have a cheap, thin, lightweight shower curtain to do the job.
