Mattress with a return window.

[McLosi]

So we have a new second hand caravan and found the mattress gives both my wife and I back ache.

At home we have a Phoebe mattess that when we bought it, could try for 90 days and return if not happy with it.
Does anyone know of any such place that make caravan mstress's with the same offer?

We don't want to spend £400 on a new one to find we get the same issue. We already have a memory foam topper on it.

It's one of the beds with the corner missing so don't think would need be custom made.

Thank you.

I cannot recall ever seeing such an offer for caravan beds. One option could be to source a higher quality mattress, but they are such personal choices.

This review may help.

A caravan mattress can have pretty much any shape or size and not all mattress brands are able to offer this type of mattress as it requires special knowledge

The best known name in Caravan mattresses is Duvalay, but there are others such as custom size mattresses. A bit of Googling will help you find a few, but I don’t know if any do trial purchases. You may need to sit through a long internet trawl
Do report back if you find one, it may help others.
Good luck

Might help, dont know where you are located but i have a Duvalay topper
Similar to this one but with only one corner cut
in my loft which came out of my previous van, (Fleetwood Sonata) Im in South Devon, you would be welcome to try it if you are near to us.
I kept it because it was even more comfortable than my bed at home!!!

Thanks for the kind offer, I'm Suffolk so a few miles!
Does a topper make that much difference? I'd just hate to spend so much money to be disappointed lol

Even a 25 mm Duvalay topper made a good difference to a single in our last caravan and the rear singles mattresses in a Sprite were based on kids weight nit adults. We would have gone for 50 mm but weight was a criterion.

Ok, might be worth a punt.

Silly question but assume it can't be put up the other way? Our corner is the right hand side, so the other side...

Not really, the base is much firmer, and the zip is on the top. That's a shame. We bought a topper from Dunelm to go onto of our original mattress, really lovely.

Damn. Thank you though, would have come by and grabbed that!

It made a huge difference to me, I suffer from regular back pain, but that topper really was comfortable, I even had it on my home bed for a while whilst suffering at one time, BUT as always it's a personal preference, so it could be a cheaper version that would suit some but not others.
hope you get sorted.

Probably your best bet is to try a mattress topper out at Dunelm have you one near to where you live

If you had read the O.P. he's already using a memory foam mattress topper

Over the years we tried various mattresses including a brand mentioned in an earlier post. That one was probably one of the most uncomfortable and expensive mattress with terrible customer support.

Eventually settled on a Jonic mattress with 1000 pocket springs and foam. It is heavier, but very supportive. It was more expensive than any other mattress, but at least now we get a decent night's sleep.

Thanks. This is the worry, we but and find it just as bad lol

Yes our Custom bed mattress seemed fine, then Mrs H found it was just a bit too soft. We had gone for a 10 inch thickness, thinking it would have been more comfortable, It wasn't,
Anyway good luck.

A lot depends on the size of the bed, but most are odd sizes, so the mattress is made to order and is none returnable. If you are lucky and have one that is a standard bed size you could order a regular one.
If ordered on the internet you do have the right to return it if it is still in its original wrapping and undamaged. That possibly means trying it with the protective covering on, assuming it does not arrive rolled up. If you have used the mattress then it certainly will not be taken back.

However people are happy to buy a second hand caravan with a well used mattress?

Another vote here for mattress toppers! From 2014 to 2016 we went away from a fixed bed and found we both got terrible back ache from the bed made from the settee cushions so we bought a 25mm mattress topper from Dunelm and it made a huge difference! The only drawback with them is their weight, they can add a fair bit to your payload so worth keeping in mind.

We have bought toppers from Dunelem and Duvalay and found the latter to be expensive and uncomfortable. The Dunelm was far more comfortable. In 2017 we bought a topper for a different caravan from Jonic and found it to be very comfortable. However when we rejected that caravan in 2017 the topper was put in a wardrobe at home as not required in new caravan.

Possibly, but we would not and I have heard of dealers reducing a trade in offer because of that. We use a waterproof cover to make sure we have no problems, not that we are in the habit of wetting the bed.
