Are there any recommendations for mattresses? While a 10″ thick Casper may fit in the camper, I have a feeling that my legs won’t fit after it is put in. I’m about 200 to 210 pounds and tend to bottom out on air mattresses, although I never tried with an inch of EPP foam under them.
Thoughts?
Acting on the suggestion of another forum member, I got two Thermorest Mondo King 3D mattresses. They are 4″ high and selfinflating. You can adjust firmness. I have very good experience with much thinner Thermorest. The downside: cost ($210 each).
I’m planning to go old-school futon in mine. I haven’t tried it yet, but I think a queen sized futon will fit with just a bit of reshaping/ shifting of the stuffing to get the fit right in the corners. Looking at getting some 2″ EVA foam to provide some insulation and a little cushion, and putting the 4″ futon on top of that. $350 total for all new, quality materials.
Good Question! I made a 2″ foam pad out of some foam I found at a surplus store. After sleeping in it for a few nights I decided it isn’t nearly comfortable enough.
I ordered one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Kamp-Rite-Queen-Self-Inflating-Pad/dp/B004M0YYEC
I think that is the same mattress that CLC used in their model trailer. I’m supposed to receive it tomorrow, so i’ll let you know how it sleeps!
I received the mattress that I linked to in my above post and finally slept on it last night. I’m really impressed! I was expecting it to be more like an air mattress but really it is just a 4″ dense foam in an airtight sleeve. Last night it was just below freezing here and the mattress helped keep me warm as well as being very comfortable. Usually I can’t sleep in while I’m camping but I didn’t wake up until 9AM. My wife liked it as well.
Here’s a photo my wife took:
