Hi all. Looking to advance purchase a mattress topper for our VW camper expected sometime in spring.
Our van will have a Rib 120cm bed on the bottom and a pop top also. I’m thinking a small double mattress topper is the right answer as small doubles are 120cm wide.
Read lots of threads on here and narrowed down to 3 options.
1) Rib bed 120 memory foam mattress topper from Comfortz Leisure at £164.99
2) Double woollen mattress topper from Devon Duvets at £150 - a full double size, they don’t seem to do small doubles.
3) Campervan Compact memory foam mattress topper from Duvalay at £134.90 (15% off in sales and includes a free zipped sheet) - this seems to be for a rock and roll rather than RIB bed and is 115cm wide. So I’m not sure if it’s the best option for a RIB 120 bed. The other Duvalay option is their standard Compact Travel Topper which they do in a 122cm version and is £135.94 sale price (15% off).
I‘m thinking one of the Duvalay options makes sense given sale pricing and they seem to roll up pretty compact for travel/storage.
Happy to hear opinions and recommendations from anyone currently using one of these options. Thanks.

Each to their own & I think this subject is very much personal choice. However, that said, I've recently bought the comfort leisure memory foam mattress and absolutely love it - it is so comfy and it stores well in our van set up. We have a titan varimount bed that are, I believe quiet comfy for most but I cannot sleep on it bare. I First I pulled down the pop-top vango 1" memory foam matress and slept on that. Better but still not a good night sleep. Used the comfort leisure 2" memory foam the first time and slept like a baby. Something I don't even do often do in our home bed. As said above, I like the way it trifolds onto our back shelf and also it is shaped for a transporter so it is a very good fit.
If you search ‘Devon duvets campervan’ they do a variety of toppers for different van beds including some reimo’s that will be close enough to the width you require. We’ve used duvalay and Devon duvets in various vans and caravans, the Devon duvets is much better at temperature regulating, comfort wise we’ve also had a comfortz leisure and that was a lot better than a duvalay despite being thinner.
The comforts leisure mattress is only 2cm thick and was £119 6 years ago. It didn't fare well after 3 years use. For optimal comfort you should opt for 5cm, minimum.
Hi @interbear We’ve just ordered a Devon Duvet topper and they are making it to our exact size (with a cut-out to accommodate the rear pillar). No idea what the lead time is going to be though
@interbear we bought a Duvalay Compact Topper for our RIB bed and having used it on a couple of trips now, we've found the 2.5cm to be too thin, I'm now looking at alternatives so I'm researching the forum for info on this! @bardellowski, will look into the custom made Devon Duvet topper
We got one from IKEA, and I can recommend it.
”Rejuvenated panda hydrogel”?!? The mind boggles
Damn, we ended up buying a Duvalay Compact topper in the sales
Hopefully we find it OK. Van arrives next month (yay!) so will find out soon enough.
A panda eats, shoots and leaves!
We ttried a Dunhelm and and Argos, both we're terrible......
So we bought a new topper for our home bed and cut down the Eve mattress topper that we had before to fit the van and bought a fitted sheet.. the mattress topper
Means we get better topper at home and a very high qiality topper without campervan tax in the van.

We found our RIB bed to be way too hard for our old bones. Today we picked up our 4th attempt at a solution - resorting to a custom made folding foam (35/130) mattress 60 mm thick. Have not slept on it yet but fingers crossed we can finally sleep OK. See the story at Trying to sleep comfortable on a Scopema RIB Altair campervan bed - LiteKamper
The Devon Duvet custom made mattress topper arrived eventually (the delay entirely our fault for not replying to emails!). Absolutely delighted with the quality and comfort. Can’t wait to try it in anger
That looks really good actually. We ended up buying a Duvalay compact mattress topper during a sale. Only picked up the van today so haven’t tried it yet.
