Our new camper beds are super comfy.
None of the upholstery foam from our 1999 camper was likely of high quality and was undoubtedly past its lifespan. It would all effortlessly crush flat under our weight. We’ve started with replacing the mattresses.
We crafted two new mattresses using a 4″ firm foam base laminated with a 2″ squishy gel-foam topper and all sewn into custom-sewn cases. They are a little thicker than you might find on many campers, but given the number of nights we’ll be sleeping on them, we felt this was a good splurge.
1 bed is a standard queen which would have allowed us more off-the-shelf options, but the second bed is a non-standard size, closest to a full. So to provide the same sleeping experience for both we opted to craft our own.
The cases are made from durable fabric in a color that I think should wear well in this environment with webbing straps that make them easy to move around, which we’ll have to do often when moving between sites.
