- bed mattress mattress topper
ANyone managed to find a secent self inflation mattress of oam topper in 100cm wide?
Well, I'm back from our weekend away down Southend seeing family, and can confirm the sim mattress was perfect 
We've had the same issue and just splashed out on a mattress from these guys...

It's an expensive option, but is hard to overestimate the value of a good night's sleep.
A review will be incoming on 5 Sept, as we go away with it on 4th (hopefully, if it arrives in time).
Just realised I haven't provided feedback after actually using this mattress.My first feedback is that their customer care is excellent. They initially quoted 3 weeks to deliver a bespoke mattress to my design (see below). When I explained I needed it for a camping trip in 2 week's time, they said they would try their very best to ensure I had it before then. On that basis I crossed my fingers and placed my order.
Today - just 7 working days since placing the order - I received email confirmation that the mattress is at DPD's Crawley depot.

The first thing to say is that it's HUGE - it's 15cm deep, so measures 120x64x45cm (WxHxD) when folded in 3.
- When travelling, we keep it on the R'n'R seat (the only place it fits given we have a bulkhead behind our R'n'R bed). It takes up the ENTIRE seat space, so isn't suitable if you need to carry rear passengers. It also makes accessing the wardrobe problematic, which was a minor inconvenience for us; but may be more problematic for others.
- Whilst on site during the day, we moved it to the awning, but it is VERY bulky to move in and out of the van - you either need Inspector Gadget extendo-arms or it's a 2-man operation.
Lastly, comfort. I'm not going to pretend it's as comfortable as our king-size bed at home - no bed 120cm wide ever could be - but it is VERY comfortable. With all previous sleep setups, both me & Mrs Bav would wake up in the night with various aches and pains, and then struggle to get comfortable enough to get back to sleep. No such problem with this mattress - during our 7-nighter in Cornwall, we both slept through every night and awoke fully refreshed and ache-free. Temperature control also seemed very good, adding to comfort levels, though it wasn't particularly warm or cold, so that aspect wasn't fully tested.
Conclusion? It's very big (bordering on the impractical) and it's very expensive (bordering on the outrageous), but I challenge anyone to get a more comfortable night's sleep in a camper with 2 people sleeping on a 120cm-wide bed.
PS
They do offer slimmer and lower-spec foam mattresses and ones without the cut-outs ours has, so that should decrease costs and bulkiness, but not sure what impact that would have on sleep comfort.
I'm struggling with the £650 bit! Wow!
Our 3 fold mattress was £150 ish, drapes over the RnR bed blocking the back window (it's a van, it's not meant to have back windows!) When we get to site all the gear in the cupboards gets moved into whatever awning we take and we leave the bed set up permanently if it's only the two of us.
It's very comfortable on a 112 bed for the pair of us even with the uncomfortable skin to skin contact that can occur if we aren't careful!
Just an update, I bought the LUCID topper that was mentioned earlier in this thread. Not bad for £55 but left a lot to be desired plus it tears quite easily after rolling/unrolling. I’ll be putting it to use in our spare room instead.
I then went with the Inofia tri-fold (12cm) which is fantastic for roughly £125. Really impressed with how comfy it is.
Here it is in my van on top of a 130 RIB slider with the sliding mechanism pulled all the way forwards. I wouldn’t fancy trying to fit it into the back of a non-slider unless you maybe turned it on its side.
For sleeping, the RIB can be slid all the way back and it fits fine with my slimline kitchen setup.
I’m looking at the duvaley, now the sales are on
I’m looking at either the comfort or the cooling fresh tec one. Any opinion s on which is the better option for the van, I’m thinking the cooling one will be best for in the hot summers , but has anyone tried them!
Thanks

That’s the one we bought (cooling fresh-tec) - nothing to compare it with but we’ve used it over the summer and also between Christmas & New Year so it’s been tested in different conditions. Apart from the hole in the wallet no complaints at all!
Do you use this combined with SIM? onto wood frame or rib bed?
Anyone using a SIM and thin topper combo on a solid frame kombi bed?
Im finding my trusty SIM seems to not be enough, hip was aching.
Its a Multimat Camper Double 75 Self-Inflating Mat, straps neatly on back of modified amdro kombi bed.
Looking at Duvalay, Panda, slothie and Zonesleep, any recommended?
Excuse dusty floor, just back from camping.

So I've just found a little leak near the value, hence my numb hip! hoping to repair but might still add a topper into the mix

Great Shout!! thanks @TheGrapeEscape
We've got a full width RIB (130cm) that we've tried many different ways of making sleeping bearable and we purchased and tried one of the Trail SIMs at the weekend.
It was very comfortable
It was great being able to move in the morning, instead of feeling like you'd slept on a pile of broken bricks!..the only 2 (minor, unforseen) issues we now have are:
1, We lost a few cm of headroom due to the SIM thickness so no sitting up in bed (standard tin-top) - need to try it on a lower level of inflation or get a pop-top.
2, (Due to the above the headroom issue) the SIM slid forward up against the front seats as we were shuffling on/off the bed - we were on a bit of a slope which didn't help.
So, absolutely would recommend the SIM and getting a comfortable nights sleep
Never had a problem with mine, it's greatGreat Shout!! thanks @TheGrapeEscape
