I was intending to take an old single sheet to put over the mattresses but am also trying to save weight. Do most places supply a cover on the mattress or if not what is the condition of them?
be safe take a single sheet. I do every year and spay mine with Permetherin. I have never had Bed bugs.I was intending to take an old single sheet to put over the mattresses but am also trying to save weight. Do most places supply a cover on the mattress or if not what is the condition of them?
I took a sheet applied with Permetherin (and to the rest of my gear) and experienced bed bugs bites twice on the Camino. There are no guarantees that’s for sure.I do every year and spay mine with Permetherin. I have never had Bed bugs.
Hi, you’ll need to take either a sleeping bag, or a liner, both of which will “protect” you from the mattress if no covers are provided. Don’t bother taking your own mattress cover. Some albergues give you a disposable mattress cover when you check in. I have occasionally taken mine with me next day, for future use in albergues that don’t provide mattress covers, as they are extremely lightweight.
How durable are these disposable covers?
I always take my own pillowcase. Use it to store things in during the day and I can stuff it at night when there's no pillows and I always know who's head has been on it. It's my luxury item in my rucksackI was intending to take an old single sheet to put over the mattresses but am also trying to save weight.

I also take a single sheet, but one made from a silk-like polyester, weighs next to nothing. Also spray with Permethrin and put it down on the mattress FIRST before anything else. Depending on the season, will add a silk liner or lightweight sleep sack. Ultreia! ellebe safe take a single sheet. I do every year and spay mine with Permetherin. I have never had Bed bugs.
Exactly!Not very! They often split as you try getting them over the corners of the mattress.
