La La Lamb Mattress Topper for Babies 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. How much data does it take to use phone as a GPS

What she could do with more of is sleep: that delicious state of blissful unconsciousness that parents of babies and toddlers crave. Pia’s beautiful daughters’ sleep patterns are further complicated by their suffering from eczema. “Sometimes it has been so bad that Maya, who is five months old, would scream with the pain and irritation,” says Pia, who works part-time in human resources. Three months ago, Pia, sleep-deprived and wanting to help her girls, did some research into eczema and found a reference to wool bedding improving sleep quality, particularly for people with skin disorders.
READ: Eight of the best pillows “I ordered wool cot duvets, pillows and mattress toppers for the girls’ beds and the difference was immediately noticeable,” says Pia, who lives with her husband, Ben, Ava, two and a half, and Maya, five months, in north London. “Ben was sceptical and wasn’t sure I was spending the money wisely, but he’s now a convert. After the girls’ sleep improved, we ordered wool bedding for ourselves, and we sleep better now too. “What was also pleasing was that the wool came from British sheep, rather than from cotton from the Far East or goose down from Eastern Europe. It’s helping sheep farmers look after our countryside by making it worth their while to keep sheep. It made me feel proud, in a way,” says Pia. Anecdotal evidence such as Pia’s is always nice to hear, as the British wool industry, once the mainstay of our rural economy, is struggling to assert itself despite its impeccable eco-credentials. Not only is British wool recyclable and local, but sheep farmers do much to maintain our rural landscape.
READ: What's the best mattress topper? Ongoing studies into wool and sleep at the University of Sydney appear to confirm Pia’s experiences. Researchers at the university’s Faculty of Health Sciences conducted “polysomnography” tests, which use sensors to measure the amount and type of sleep that people get. Eight healthy volunteers slept in and on wool, cotton and synthetic sleepwear and bedding at three different temperatures: hot (29C/84F), neutral (22C/72F) and cold (17C/63F). The differences in sleep quality showed that wool produced more deep sleep and longer sleep, with the difference at high temperatures most marked. Here, the average night’s sleep was 448 minutes (seven hours 28 minutes) with wool, compared with 426 minutes (seven hours six minutes) with synthetic nightwear. Cotton performed better than synthetic bedding, but worse than wool. The research, due to be published later this year, complements previous findings on the benefits of sleeping on wool and sheepskin both for healthy people and for those with bed sores and skin problems.
Scientists believe the wool improves sleep because it absorbs much of the sweat bodies produce at night, keeping skin dry and comfortable. It regulates body temperature, keeping sleepers warm in winter and cool in the summer, a feature that is particularly helpful for babies, who have trouble regulating their own temperatures. Jo Dawson, of H Dawson Wool, a family wool-buying business since 1888, says the British are slowly rediscovering all sorts of uses for wool, including bedding and sleepwear as well as unusual architectural and interiors applications. Designers have even made load-bearing structures with wool, including staircases. “British lowland wool is particularly good for bedding because it is naturally bouncy and springs back into shape when depressed.” He says that for years wool bedding was only of minority interest because it was difficult to wash, but now washable duvets, pillows and mattress toppers are available thanks to modern wool processing methods. Certainly wool mattress toppers, which cost between £100 and £125, are kinder on the pocket than wool mattresses, which can cost £1,000-£2,000.
