Just to be clear, the mattresses stay on the bunk, and the whole bunk slides in toward the center. You can leave a thin layer of bedding on top of the mattress when you fold the shells down, but nothing thick since the roof comes down quite tightly against the mattress. In our 2720SL, we leave a 1 -1/2" egg crate on the bed, along with top and bottom sheets and an electric blanket. With that much on the bed, a quilt is too much, so we remove the quilt and put it on the couch. Pillows are too thick, of course, so we stow them in the storage cabinet under the bed before we drop the wardrobe.

Re the hanging cabinets. When we got our first TM, the hanging cabinet was a new option, and our dealer advised us not to get it, since it was awkward to lean over the sink and lift it off the hangers. That turned out to be bad advice, and on our second TM, we opted for the hanging cabinet. We carry only lightweight stuff in it - paper napkins, paper plates and silverware, plastic cups, martini glasses, and so forth, and it is not a hard lift at all. And all this "fluffy" paper stuff would take a lot of space elsewhere, so this has been a good option for us.
