- bed mattress topper pop top
Got 2 of these, pretty cheap and the singles allow more flexibility, they can be joined to make a double.
Vango Allure 10cm Self Inflating Mattress
Vango Allure 10cm Self Inflating Mattress
Trail 5cm Double Self-Inflating Camping Mat
Got one of these for my son to use in the pop top. The foam inside expands when the valve is opened so that it self inflates. However air can be added to suit the user. Thick enough to be comfortable, thin enough to be left in place when the roofs down. Cheap too. Was so impressed with how comfy it was, I bought a second one for me and Mrs D to use on the rock n roll bed. Various colours and a thinner 2.5cm version available too. We have a double, 5cm in a fetching shade of purple.

Thanks for that DD! I've just ordered one. I have always had trouble sleeping and have spent over £1000 on a mattress at home before, but after a couple of years they all seem to lose their shape-and I'm not over-weight (much!). I know it can be false economy buying cheaper, but in the mattress world I've been stung before. Think I'll start at the lowest price and work my way up
@CRIBDUB , additionally, you could double it over and try it as a single but with twice the thickness. The instructions advise to lay it out, allow it to self inflate, repack and repeat 3 times before use. I'd recommend doing this. Seems to improve the speed at which it self inflates. Probably make a good mat in an awning too. Hope it works out for you, as it has for us.
A lot of us use these Duvalay - Sleep Specialist
Not sure whether you'd be able to store them in the roof though. I certainly can't .

We use the 5cm sleeping bags as our all in 1 sleep solution, primarily downstairs on the RIB - too big for us to store upstairs with the roof (SCA 194) down but 2 roll up nicely to sit on the back shelf of the RIB for transport and/or during the day.

Hi all
Seeking some advice
We're new to campervanning
We've got a T6 with pop top
In colder months we slept downstairs
V comfy
Now it's warmer we're using the pop top and finding mattress a bit thin.
Need some kind of topper.
Don't fancy Duvalay..don't want to be tucked in.Happy with duvet , change tog rating when needed.
Any recommendations for a topper that could be left on top of existing one when pushing it back up.
Cheers
