I just picked up a twin quilt and want to make a reasonably light and compact, synthetic, somewhat soft (brushed-woven or fleece) fitted sheet to go over a pair of NeoAir or similar inflatable mattresses that are joined side-by-side with straps. I would just need to figure out what fabric would make the most sense. Any fabric suggestions that are available from an online store like Seattle Fabrics, Rockywoods.com, or similar? Cheers.

If I were to make one I would use silnylon for the bottom and a stretch poly mesh on top. Otherwise bamboo rayon or hemp fabric if I went natural, because it absorbs the least water.
