Hi Matt,
Good name!! We got one made at "The Matress Factory" 46 Felspar St,
Welshpool, WA (08) 9558 9711. They made it to our specifications and with rounded corners to suit the van bed. Cost $330 with us picking it up. And it is damn comfy. Better than our normal bed(time for a new home bed I think!). No affiliation with them just a happy and satisfied customer.
Good luck
Matt

The matress that came with the van was a foam one, and I have a bad back, so I needed something decent. Its just like a normal matress off your bed at home with rounded corners. You can go into there showroom and try the matress's and they can make one to suit. We just went the firmist we could get.

Matt(WA)...this is getting confusing haha
Is the matress you got made up designed for the camper/caravan ie being very lighweight without sacraficing comfort?
I have heard of these and would look at changing the foamy in my camper for a lightweight innerspring matress.
Thanks
Matt.

Hi Matt Mu,
The matress is especially designed for caravans. It is the same supplier camec use but if you go to there showroom(matress factory) I think you save a fair old whack. Ours isnt too heavy(certainly lighter than our normal matress) but isnt a paperweight either. Dimensions are 1850x1400x200mm with rounded corners. I reckon its heaps better than our old foamy.

Thanks

We replaced 1 of our double mattresses, in our Trak Shak, with a queen sise self inflating type.
Beautiful to sleep on !
Cheers

Hi Matt,
We have replaced our last two in campers with ones from Made To Measure Mattresses. No affiliation with the company but very happy with the product.
Ours is innerspring and it is in a lower than standard height which makes it great for campers etc. It has side vents which allow the whole thing to breathe a bit and help deal with condensation. We find it great to sleep on.
They wiil make one to whatever size you want.
Hope you get it sorted.

We just replaced out campertrailer with one from Made to Measure Mattresses, only camped with it one weekend so far but what an improvement on the foam one. Slightly highter than the foam one but we still fit everything in above the bed that we used to,

Shame you are not over on the east because I have a brand new caravan inner-sprung mattress that I had to take off my Regal caravan to put a bolster type mattress on the adjustable bed.

Hi Matt,
If theres one close to you check out Clark Rubber.
They have a vast array of pre-made as
well as made to order units, foam densities and coverings.
Very pleased with ours.
Cheers mate,
Lionel.
