I find most beds too hard on holiday and thought I'd take a foam camping mat/ mattress topper or inflatable mattress. But which type is best - it needs to be comfy on the bed, lightweight, easy to pack and reasonably priced. Any good suggestions please? That sounds like a lot to carry. Mattress toppers are bulky and inflatables heavy. Depending on where you are going, and for how long, it might be better to buy something when you arrive and just leave it behind.
Thanks for the advice but I will find shopping difficult. I bought 2 different foam camping mats which weigh next to nothing but wondered which if either would work. I'll just have to open them and test. If they are no good I'll just have to waste my money. Just thought someone might have a good suggestiin. I really don't think there is much on the market that will change a "hard" mattress into a "soft" one. This has the advantage of packing into a small space and being thin enough to slide under a bed sheet and seems to provide her with enough support to take the edge of the hardness of continental mattresses. They are not cheap :-( but the cheaper versions seemed too bulky/heavy to pack in a suitcase. They come in a variety of sizes and mens/womens models but if you are using it on a bed rather than on the ground camping you only really need the small/thin version. My mattress topper is huge and weighs several kilos - not a good idea! Self inflating camping mats take the edge of rocks and sticks sticking into you - that's about it.
They certainly don't make the ground soft. If you wear yourself out during the day and are tired enough you will be able to sleep anywhere. Don't stress the little stuff. I have the same problem - beds in hotels, b&b's, holiday homes - all too uncomfortable. I've just been looking and discovered these travel toppers. Obviously haven't bought one yet but thought I'd share. I will be buying one to take away to Scotland later in the year! My husband simply asks the hotel for an extra duvet to put under the sheet which they can nearly always supply. Hi Just asking if you found one and how did you find it. Just lately i'v had trouble waking up in hotels with aching bones so i'v been thinking along the same lines as. Where ever you went I hope you had a great time This used to be a problem for me too. I was so fed up with hard, lumpy or just uncomfortable cheap mattresses so I bought a mattress topper that I roll up. If I go abroad it goes in the hold. I dont mind paying for a bit extra baggage as I know I am guaranteed to be comfortable!
That to me is far beter than spoiling my whole holiday with aching joints (especially hips) and worth every penny, after all we spend enough on extras when away, ie nice meals etc etc so why not spend a bit extra on quality comfort? oops posted before I finished.... I got my topper about 12 months ago from Comfort Solutions (bought online) it's got two layers of different foam which makes it really comfortable, even on the floor. Have recently bought one for my brother too.

March 31, 2012 Subscribe Is a memory foam mattress topper a good idea? In looking for ways to improve my quality of life in small and cost-effective ways, I've been thinking about my sleep habitat and the fact that I have pretty relentless lower back and hip pain that's worse in the morning. In reading responses to other questions here, it seems like a fair number have found some relief by sleeping on either a memory foam mattress or topper. Since my current mattress is just a few years old and very firm, I'm looking at toppers -- but I have zero experience with memory foam. Is this a good idea at all? A similar question was asked previously six years ago. Hopefully, there's more experience and new information since then. I am tall, large and generally a side sleeper, but tend to shift around a lot. Could I ask your recommendations for a decent thickness and firmness? Is 4" thick with 5 pound density appropriate? Can I do better? Where's the best buy as far as quality for the buck?
Are there any specific eBay sellers that are highly regarded for memory foam? Our local Costco only has a 2.5" topper, so I am probably looking at buying online. I have allergies to dust etc. Best way to handle this with a topper that is basically open-cell foam? A certain type of cover? Any additional instructions regarding large dogs sleeping on memory foam (aside from the fact that they will likely love it beyond measure) -- special care tips?If you can’t afford a new mattress – or you’re not ready to replace your existing one, but are aware it needs a pick-me-up – then a topper could become your new best friend. Sitting on top of the mattress, under your sheets, it offers extra padding and comfort that could make all the difference to your quality of sleep. Research the fillings as rigorously as you would with a new mattress. They all have different benefits for different kinds of sleepers and types of people – for instance, if you get hot at night or you suffer from allergies.
Check how snugly the topper fits onto the bed – you don’t want it to move about. And be sure that the filling is evenly distributed, just as you’d want it to be with a duvet. 1. John Lewis Soft Touch Washable Mattress Topper: from £75, John Lewis This 6cm polyester topper, with dual layers and woven fabric, offers cloud-like comfort. It lasts well too, staying squidgy and soft without going flat. Plus, you can wash it in the machine umpteen times without losing any of the quality. Great value for hotel-like luxury. 2. Breasley Flexcell Mattress Topper: from £129, Mattress Online This thick, comfy topper is made from memory foam, which moulds to your body’s shape and distributes your weight evenly. There’s a smooth winter side, which gets really quite warm (great for those who feel chilly at night), and a bumpy summer side, which circulates air to keep you cooler. 3. Hästens Top Mattress BJ: from £670, Hästens This is the deepest topper in our roundup (7cm) and it feels like you’ve got a whole new deluxe mattress.
It’s handmade from all-natural materials including wool, cotton and flexible horsetail hair, all of which keeps your body at the ideal temperature and means the mattress stays comfortable and durable. It is very heavy, though, and it can’t be washed. 4. Vispring Heavenly Mattress Topper: from £550, John Lewis Vispring is the crème-de-la-crème of mattress brands, and its mattress toppers are equally fabulous. Each one is handmade to order in any size and generously filled with the best British wool, which all makes for a comfy, soft, breathable and hypoallergenic sleeping experience. 5. The White Company Supreme Luxury Down Topper: from £150, The White Company Anyone who’s experienced good duck down and feather bedding will know that this filling can swiftly take you into the land of nod in the lap of luxury. The same can be said of this incredibly comfy topper. The top layer includes down for extra softness, while the bottom layer is 100 per cent feather for support.
It's box stitched for even distribution, but it does need regularly plumping up. 6. Dorma Anti-Allergy Mattress Topper: from £45, Dunelm This is excellent value for a soft and plump mattress cover, made from spiral fibre which is encased in 100 per cent cotton sheeting. We found it every bit as good as some toppers we tested (that didn’t make this list) at two or three times the price. It fits well on the bed and is machine washable. 7. The Woolroom Deluxe Wool Topper: from £111.99, The Woolroom This soft and cosy topper, made from top-notch British wool, carries the British Allergy Foundation’s Seal of Approval, making it an ideal choice for anyone who suffers from asthma, allergies or eczema. It’s 3cm thick, extremely well-made, keeps body temperature comfortable throughout the night and is machine washable. 8. Silksleep Topper: from £110, Silksleep This works like a fitted sheet, wrapping right round your mattress. At just 1cm thick, it’s neither firm nor supportive, but the 300 thread-count cotton cover, filled with long-fibre silk, does a particularly good job of regulating body temperature – ideal for women of a certain age – and it feels luxurious.
Dust mites hate silk, so it’s also good for allergy sufferers. 9. Soak and Sleep Ultimate Microfibre with Silk Topper: from £60, Soak & Sleep This is a good one for anyone who wants the luxury, springy feel of down and feather, but either can’t afford it or is allergic. The filling – top-quality, hypoallergenic microfibre and silk – is box stitched so the filing doesn’t disappear down one end, no matter how much you toss and turn at night. 10. Marks & Spencer Supersoft Mattress Enhancer: From £89, Marks & Spencer This is soft but supportive, thanks to the cluster fibres that cushion your body. Particularly well suited to those who get chilly at night, it keeps the bed nice and warm – so probably not the best for those prone to sweating while they sleep. 11. Ikea Talgje: from £65, Ikea Ikea has a wide range of mattress covers, with this one – a blend of cotton and polyester foam filling – towards the bottom of the price range. It has a good, snug fit and although it’s only 3.5cm thick, it offers an indulgent layer of comfort, particularly for the price.
