Recommendation - Matress for my T25
Hi all,
Hope you are having a good Saturday...
So - I am after some advice.. After a good few sleeps in my new family addition (T25 autosleeper trident) i have finally recognised i am badly in need of a new matress and the bed re-covered. The seats also need the same treatment.
Does anyone have any recommendations about matresses to purchase and also who is good to a re-cover of both the matress and the front seats.
Thanks in advance - and good to meet you all!
Cheers
Stuart.

Re: Recommendation - Matress for my T25
As far as I know the Autosleeper does not have a rock & roll bed so I do not think you will be able to purchase ready made cushions. A google search should find you a vehicle upholsterer that can provide & cover new foams for you. Even with new cushions we did not find it particularly comfortable & now use a double inflatable mattress that we just semi inflate to suit the shape of the rear of our Autosleeper & the level of firmness/softness we require.

I've just removed the bed all together and bought a 'slight second' memoryfoam matress off ebay. Really comfy and could be cut to fit. Another option, which worked really well on the desperatly uncomfy old bed was a memoryfoam topper.

This ^
We have an auto sleeper and I found the bed desperately uncomfortable, memory foam topper cut to size makes a world of difference

IKEA do a foam mattress that can be cut up easily with an electric carving knife. It worked out cheaper than buying the foam from many other places. Might be worth a nose.

The point is memory foam is sooooo much better. You get what you pay for.

Our bed was hopelessly uncomfy we just went with a mattress topper. We roll it up into a a old 2 person sleeping bag case!

The IKEA one has a bonded memory foam layer.

Does anybody have the measurements of the autosleeper downstairs mattress?
My wife is away in it so I cant measure it myself.. looked at all the brochures etc I could find with google, but no luck..
Like the topic starter mine can do with a revamp of the mattress. I even trapped a nerve whilst sleeping in it last week so very sore leg at the moment.. think the old mattress could be partly to blame for that..

Backseat bottom: 60x115x10cm
Backseat backrest: 50*115*10CM
back end: this is a 80*135*10CM shape with a cutout in the frontcorner to of 10*20CM (making it like a fat L shape, if that makes sense)

Got the firm foam from these lads, very happy with it. I'm sure there would be something similar for british market.

Don't get the 4 inch firm foam one from Ikea, it's like sleeping on a slab of concrete!

I used http://www.gbfoamdirect.co.uk for my top bed cushions
They were well priced and good.
But... I thought I would get it slightly thicker for comfort and guess what, I didn't give any consideration for the roof coming down and I could not close it! I only made it an extra inch.
I had to improvise a wood saw on my bench grinder and turn it in to a foam slicer to take that extra inch off
