Pop Top Mattress/awning/rib

[Osborne1981]

Took delivery of our newly converted T6 last week and was wondering what everyone does for the following:
1. Do you put a mattress in the pop top?
2. Do you put bed linen over the rib or use another duvet/sleeping bag?
3. Looking at awnings as this seems to be the time to buy them, the Outdoor Revolution T4 seems a good awning, has anyone got one and are they ok for size on a pitch?
Thanks in advance

1. Our pop top (SCA 194) came with a mattress which with the base makes it very comfortable. If you do get one make sure it is not too thick else you may introduce problems for the roof closing - ours is pretty thin but if you close the roof with the mattress slightly overlapping the back it is enough to prevent the back of the roof coming down fully.
2. We use Duvalay Sleeping Bags on our RIB - topper and bedding in a single roll - nothing else required.
3. Now is a good time to buy an awning but I'd have a go without one first to see how you get on and if you really need one.

Thanks for that.
We have the Skyline pop top so will have to see if it closes with a thin mattress.
