Hello campers

We are just starting out with family camping and have recently purchased the Vango Comfort XL for me and hubby. We intend to have them together and put a mattress topper and a sheet over for comfort.

When I lay on the Vango mattress in our front room I found it quite firm so would like a topper which softens that feel.

Can anyone recommend a topper to offer real comfort?

thanks in advance

I bought my mattress topper at home from Poundstretcher and I absolutely love it, so comfortable and only £29.99.

Hi TraceyD, thanks for replying. Is that the memory foam? I'm a proper restless sleeper always moving about how is the rebound on the foam?

Thanks

I have a 7.5 SIM & used to over inflate it, once I got the hang of not putting too much air in it was brilliant.

I'd second the letting some air out of them. We usually put ours in the tent and open the valves and just leave them. A few hours later we then do up the valves. If you put the valves at your head end you can then let air out of them once you are lying on them until you find a comfortable level.

Mind you if you are putting two together you'd probably still want something like a mattress topper on top to smooth out the 'join' and stop one of you falling into the gap all the time.

Hi TraceyD

How thick is the mattress from Poundstretcher, I've just checked their site and it doesn't say?

Thanks

I would say it's about an inch thick, doesn't seem much but it is so comfy, the best thing I've ever bought!

We bought ours from john lewis. V comfortable but a bit exy. Went for the synthetic one as we were worried about feathers getting damp. I find memory foam too hot and spongy.
