Too excited for words!

[Mary-Helen]

Hello,
We’ve just bought our first Cali (through this website) and we’re picking it up on Wednesday. We plan to take the van down to Devon/Cornwall on Sunday for a few days - with our equally excited 6yr old grandson.

I’d really appreciate some advice on what size Sleepzone mattress toppers to buy - I can’t measure up because we haven’t got the van yet! I’m keen to get the toppers delivered before next weekend.

Here is a few that you could look at.
You would want to be looking at Ocean/Se or comfort line

The Zonesleep is made to measure just order the one you need

Having just bought our Ocean and having slept in the 'upstairs' a couple of times now, we do not consider that we need a mattress topper upstairs. It really is quite comfortable albeit 'cosy' for 2.

The sprung boards that the mattress sits on are surprising sprung well.

I see a number of mattress toppers appear on the 'For Sale' section, so wonder whether others consider them necessary?

Hey - I totally get how you feel - we are also new Cali owners (also bought through this website) we've had ours a week now and are currently sat in a campsite in Cornwall - loving life! We bought a memory foam mattress topper for the pop top and bought a 4ft small double (120 x 190cm) which fits perfectly. This would be a little large for the downstairs bed though.

Hope this helps

Thanks, that really does help. I’ll be there next week ;-)

Thanks, I’ll check out the for sale section, I haven’t made it that far yet.

Welcome. Zonesleep are very good I bought one for downstairs but found it works just as well upstairs.

Where did you buy it from? I looked on their website and could only see standard bed sizes...

Thanks, I didn’t think to look there!

Welcome, Your grandson will love it, I presume he will be sleeping up top so he won't need a topper up there, it's fine. Plenty of toppers available for the downstairs bed depends on budget.

The only mattress topper you’ll probably need is one “downstairs” - certainly on the old T5 as the seat back is very firm. We just use a self inflating air bed that compacts quite small, you can end up taking a lot of unnecessary kit with you. I’d try it first and buy if you need

The other option is to go for the Duvalay which combines a mattress into your bedding and duvet - it's a bit like a one-sided sleeping bag that just rolls up.

As forum members will know, we are big fans - but I know others are less keen with the poly-cotton material. And they are not cheap (although we got a couple for a good price new off eBay).

See https://www.duvalay.co.uk/Campervans . Blimey, now I look here, they've certainly put their prices up! But they are very convenient and, for us, comfortable.
