Memory Foam Mattress Toppers

[Fithawk]

I’m looking into a Memory Foam Topper for our fixed bed (Not Island). Big bucks it seems!

Are they worth it? Any suggestions to keep costs down? Thanks.

Do you use one at home? If not, and your caravan mattress is comfortable enough, why bother??

I have a double sized Kensington mattress topper, 100% cotton cover and 100% poly filling - a 2 inch depth . We use this over the inverted front seat cushions when made up to a double bed, and liked the usage so much we bought a similar one for the bed at home. In the caravan it folds up small to pack in the underseat locker by day - (not an issue if you are 'topping' a fixed bed) - and cost somewhere around 30.00. If buying for yourself check the thickness you require as they are supplied in different specs - and of course you can spend a load more and get down combinations to serve the same purpose!

We got one from Costco. It isn't shaped but I just tuck the excess on the cut off corner under the mattress. We have a near side fixed bed. Really comfy. Stops OH back aching. Can be a bit warm though.b loads cheaper than buying a shaped caravan one.

We also have one as ours is a made up bed and just having a sheet down isn't too comfortable but having the topper on the top makes a hell of a difference.
Plus like someone says, it folds up small enough to be put under the front seats.

We have a Duvalay gold topper in our van, fantastic bit of kit.

We had a 2 inch topper from a spare room bed, cut it to suit the side bed , fantastic, but kept slipping to the side a little. Bought a fitted mattress Memory foam thing really great, 9 inch deep, A wrong buy, much too heavy, added another 15 kg to base weight, but lovely and comfy. I would have gone for a 6 inch mattress.

We find our double comfy enough but on the single I put a self inflating camping mat under the bed cushions. It makes a lot of difference. And it is very light.

We bought Online for about £40 and trimmed the corners. The specialised made to order ones can be rather expensive.

Was it easy to trim? What did you use? Thanks.

Ordinary scissors will do the job. On another piece of foam we used the electric knife which gave a cleaner cut.
