Would an aldi sim work on top of the cushions in the van to ease my aching back. The cushions are just too hard with no give!

Or is the only sensible option a memory foam topper at around £50-70?

Not wanting to ask the same question I Googled SIM + Mattress and came up with this...

...I'm looking for a floor mattress (single and/or double) for my homeless sims to have something else to sleep on than just sofas or benches. I know there are a couple of these out there for TS2 but I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find one for TS3? I have done a search on this site (and others), as well as Google....

With that I'm off to bed!

More than likely this

Self inflating mattress from ALDI

And to anwser the question.Daughter had difficulty sleeping on just the cushions in a bunk bed in the caravan so we tried her with a self inflating mattress, and we never heard a complaint from her in a full week, with her saying she had slept really well.

So I would say give it a try.

Duckjam, pleased to hear it worked for your daughter.

Yes, a self inflating mattress works well on top of caravan cushions.

My wife suffers with bad backs, we've been looking at good quality matress toppers.  Not sure about the memory foam ones, but there are quite a few to choose from depending on what you want from them.
