Caravan mattresses

Just had a look through the Canberra Yellow Pages - there is at least one mattress manufacturer there and plenty of suppliers of either inner spring or foam mattresses. Suggest a trip to an outlet that has a range of mattress types available for testing to decide what you want.

FWIW we have a foam mattress in the back of our Troopy (on a particle board base) and it is very comfortable, though can be a bit on the warm side in hot weather. Its also easy to change bedding etc as it is quite light to handle.

FWIW i got rid of the foam matt out of our van and put a n inner spring in it-best thing i did to that and in the C/T i bought a Dunlop high density foam mattress-bloody fantastic mattress. it gets used everywhere as a spare bed.

High density foam (green stuff) have used them in all my yatchs, over 30 years, in our camper trailer and now in our 32 year old Viscount and of course on our bed at home. Inner springs might have in proved these day but I can not go past the foam, as I said high denisty, if you like a little soft get them to put 2 inchs of low density on top of 4 inch high d

Have you had a look at these guys? Made to Measure Matresses

Our caravan (2nd hand) came with an approx. 5cm latex mattress overlay. Incredibly comfortable on a standard foam mattress. As comfortable if not more, than our quite expensive mattress at home.

Made to Measure Mattresses do stuff specifically for vans and CTs; with extra venting and reinforcing on the walls. We got the top model for our CT and it's quite firm and better for my back than the one in the home.

Thanks folk for all the suggestions - will check out the high density foam and get a quote from made to measure mattresses. Also liked the tip re the latex overlay as that is just what we need for our night and day divan at home!
R & R

Me mate has just purchased two single bed mattresses for his van

They can be made to any size and shape , only restricted by the coil diameter
He took his measurements with him

He could have got the cheapest single bed mattresses for $125 each
but settled for the ones with a built in overlay , a couple of inches thick for $225 each

If you visit the factory you can try before you buy , not overnight

he purchased them from

Just Relax Mattress factory outlet

He found the quickest way to talk to them was to use this mobile number

as it is a factory and sometimes they do not answer the above phone number
