I need to find a normal double bed size inner sprung mattress but with a very low profile, 100mm would be good. Does anyone know where I can buy such a mattress or have any suggestions for a good nights sleep with low profile?
Regards,
LJ

We have fairly dense foam mattresses (both in the caravan and at
home), and for my husband's bad back, they are far better than good quality innerspring. They can be purchased from
places such as Clark Rubber stores, in a variety of thicknesses. They are much cheaper than the latex type mentioned by some here.

I'm with Motherhen, although I think our CT mattress may be medium duty foam. Lighter than latex. Very comfortable. Low cost.

Hi Moose
We just got a dense foam one (density 26/160) for my husband's bad back (the one in the caravan is fairly dense but not quite so hard).
After going from innerspring to 100mm foam as his back got bad some years ago, we again tried a good quality innerspring for a few years. He found the 200mm thick foam mattress in the caravan was much better for his back than the innerspring (another good reason to go on holidays more often).
On our return from this trip, we got the new dense foam 200mm thick, and added and 'eggshell' overlay which takes the 'hardness' feel off it. We inherited an 'eggshell' with the caravan which was so good that we got one for
home. After this trip it had gone to daughter with the old mattress, so we got another.

This is scary Motherhen. I'd forgotten about our eggshell overlay. Certainly makes it nice and soft on top.
No idea what the density rating is for ours. We went to the
shop and chucked a few on the floor and lay on them until we found one we both liked!

I didn't like the foam mattress in our rooftop tent, so we swapped it for the thin profile innerspring mattress on our fold out sofa bed. Exactly the same size - double. I would perhaps try some of the sofa
places that manufacture their own furniture, they would be able to tell you. If sofa beds have innerspring mattress, they are low profile. Our is about 3".
Hopefully helpful!
