mattress for camper trailer

KangaCamperTrailers have a queen size innerspring 6inches thick that is very comfortable. They don't make them themselves but get them made in Melbourne. You might think them a bit pricey at $600 but hey what's a good sleep worth. Might be worth a call anyway.

A layer of the eggshell foam from Clark rubber over the existing mattress will work wonders and cost liitle, also hardly raises overall height.

We did it and were absolutely amazed at the result.

I found a company in Brisbane - appropriately at www.madetomeasuremattresses.com.au/ and they make an inner spring matress specially for camper trailers. It is not as thik as a standard inner spring mattress (4" rather than 6" I think) so you wont have trouble fitting in the trailer. We heading off for 3 months in a few weeks time and we plan to order one and pick it up on the way through Brisbane on outr way north.

I was going to post on the same topic. Instead I'll jump on this one.

We have an inner spring mattress in our CT (hard floor Odyssey). Mattress is about 6 inches thick. To keep the height down, they use shorter springs and only pad on one side. This means you can only use the mattress one way up.

My issue is that I sometimes suffer with back pain. Although I reckon it is a good mattess, on our recent 11 week trip, I had a few restless nights with back pain.

I was wondering if I would be better with a firm foam mattress. Of course, it is possible (likely?) that the body is the issue, not the mattress.

Anyone with a bung back tried different mattresses in the camper?

Goodday mate,

We got a 4 or 5 inch inner spring mattress with our tru blu camper, It is really good, haven't slept on any good foam ones, omly dodgy ones. I find the camper nearly as comfortable as home....

We have the self inflating matress. Just undo the straps, undo the 4 caps on the end and wella sucks the air in and is ready to go in 5 mins put caps back on. Absolute pain in the arse to roll back up again and takes up room length wise. Its queen size so is as wide as a queen bed even when rolled up and diameter rolled up would be roughly the same as our roman sleeping bags but is very comfortable. Regards Steve M

Clark Rubber sell a high density foam matress with a corrugated like top that is attatched to the high density foam. The are very comfortable and around $300 for a caravan queen size( I thnk this is equivelant to a normal double). We have found the high density foam to be more comfortable than many of the innerspring matresses that you can buy for campers or caravans.

Hi Scoof,
If in Melb try these guys great to deal with www.bedsdirect.com.au/camper.htm we recently purchased their inner spring PC 120mm unit $295 + $20 delivery nice quality unit.

regards Simon.

Mate go to your local bed shop and they can order you a tailor made one, we just did for our van and its such a difference, we spent $300 and got a real good un, but you can spend what you like.

he let us lie on them all, as he just orders it as if its a full size and they make it small.

hope this helps
