Hi all, we're looking for a new mattress for our Lunar Premier. If we were buying a mattress for home we could visit a few shops and have a "lie down" but, obviously we can't do that for a Motorhome mattress so we were wondering if anyone can recommend a supplier/ manufacturer? We've looked at the Jonic website and whilst their mattresses are expensive they look ok. Any advice or suggestions greatly appreciated, memory foam vs sprung (pocket sprung)? It's an "offside" French bed by the way.
Thanks,
Pat.
 
I bought a new mattress last year from the memory foam warehouse. They will cut/make to you dimensions.

Is it comfortable? Firm/soft? Density? Do you have a link to their site?
Cheers,

Send a pm to Jenny19 she had one made for her motorhome last year and is delighted with it. :wave:
 
We got a BOGOF deal on memory foam so have the same at home and in van. Sharp knife or electric carving knife to shape.
 
Are you going to split it down the middle so that you can use the back rests???

Me I'd go for deep memory foam and shape with a carving knife.

No, we've never used the back rests but the two mattresses tend to move apart, currently kept together with long luggage straps! I reckon they'd seen better days when we bought the van. Seeing as we are spending more time in the van than at home I was thinking of splashing out on a pocket sprung with memory foam topping. Gotta have a good nights sleep and no backache I reckon.
 
We replaced ours last year now have a 12" deep memory foam mattress couldn't have one with springs as needed to be able to cut it to fit our van.
We bought it of ebay around 80£ First I cut it with a large sharp carving Knife To fit in van later I cut it to allow easier removal from van and used a electric carving knife which was a lot easier so my tool of choice.


And we were so pleased with it we now have the same indoors

When delivered it does have a chemical smell but it went away after a few days

Bought a 3" memory foam topper, but found I couldn't sleep on it. Made me feel too hot, felt I was burning up on it. Had to go back to normal mattress.
 
I'll stand corrected but I'm thinking that a 150mm pocket sprung mattress with a 50mm memory foam topper is going to be more comfortable and longer lasting than an all foam mattress. Ok, it's going to be more expensive but if we're going to spend (hopefully) eight hours a day on it for nine or ten months of the year it wants to be right. Ours is a fixed bed with a cutaway (French bed) and I've found a couple of suppliers who will supply the correct size for the kind of money I would spend on a bed for "home". Not cheap but backache and sleepless nights aren't a lot of fun either.
