Has anyone tried a mattress topper over the top of a lounge bed once made up? If so are they worth forking out for or has anyone got a better idea. We just think by having a mattress topper o top it would absorb any cracks and crevices and hopefully we wouldnt get as much backache! I know a fixed bed would be nice but the van is only 3yrs old and were not ready for changing it yet.Thanks

Hi Wendy,

The difference a memory foam mattress topper makes is remarkable. The seating in lounges has to be firmer, due to the constant use it gets, which is why so many people find them too firm for sleeping on.

The subject of memory foam has been raised on this forum several times and many of us, especially those with bad backs, recommend memory foam toppers. An uncomfortable nights sleep is not what you want when you are on holiday.

We bought ours from Raskelf, one of the market leaders, who will even cut memory foam to shape for fixed bed caravan owners. If you tell them the model and year of your caravan, they have a catalogue of all the bed sizes. For ease of storage, we bought two, one for each parallel seat, and put them together when making up the bed as a double. They were rolled up and stored under the seats during the day. Obviously, in a fixed bed 'van they remain on the bed.

Good quality mattress toppers are fairly expensive, but how do you put a price on a good nights sleep? If you spread the cost over how many comfortable nights sleep you will have over the years, they are worth every penny.

The memory foam comes encased in a quality zip cover too. If anyone buying a memory foam mattress if heavily built, they advise you to go for the thickest density foam.

I can only repeat what Meals on Wheels has already said as we do exactly the same and have a Raskelf.

In fact it was so good we now take the topper home and use it on the bed at home as well.

For ease I would say go for two singles as a double would be difficult to store away
