AeroBed for Kids Reviews

I really love AeroBed for Kids. I bought 2 of these for my twins when they were 3 and we needed them for a vacation rental (where my family got the room with 1 king bed.)
My kids love AeroBed for Kids and they still use them (they are 9 years old now.) Easy to inflate, deflate, roll into bag. We usually travel with only one pump (since it is heavier) and we roll the bed, included cover, a fleece kids blanket and a travel pillow right in the included duffle.
The incluced cover very nice and stays put, but it looks more like a matress pad and is white(!), plus its a little hot on your skin and slightly scratchy since it is quilted.
I looked for regular cotton sheets that would fit over the pad, but didn’t see anything. It seems regular fitted sheets are too long. I may sew a casing on a regular flat twin sheet and put elastic all the way around. Maybe attach another flat sheet to the bottom of this (so the top sheet would always be attached to the bottom one?) I am lazy, though and haven’t done it yet! I would welcome any comments from someone who may have done this already with tips (e.g., do I need to sew corners? Would it be easier to simply shorten a regular fitted sheet with a seam near the feet? etc.)
The AeroBed for Kids itself has held up extremely well, no problems (even with active kids who aren’t exactly gentle with it.) Great for sleepovers with friends, too.
Edit: I did buy a regular twin set of sheets and just added shorter corner seams on one end. Perfect. I also sewed 2 seams (to make a corner) on the flat sheet so that my kids don’t pull on it exposing their feet. I also did the same to a fleece blanket (that I got here on amazon) so the top sheet and blanket stay well on the bed (no endless tucking!) It all fits right in the duffle.
