Hi all,

Hope you are having a good Saturday...

So - I am after some advice.. After a good few sleeps in my new family addition (T25 autosleeper trident) i have finally recognised i am badly in need of a new matress and the bed re-covered. The seats also need the same treatment.

Does anyone have any recommendations about matresses to purchase and also who is good to a re-cover of both the matress and the front seats.

Thanks in advance - and good to meet you all!

Cheers

Stuart.

As far as I know the Autosleeper does not have a rock & roll bed so I do not think you will be able to purchase ready made cushions. A google search should find you a vehicle upholsterer that can provide & cover new foams for you. Even with new cushions we did not find it particularly comfortable & now use a double inflatable mattress that we just semi inflate to suit the shape of the rear of our Autosleeper & the level of firmness/softness we require.

I've just removed the bed all together and bought a 'slight second' memoryfoam matress off ebay. Really comfy and could be cut to fit. Another option, which worked really well on the desperatly uncomfy old bed was a memoryfoam topper.

This ^

We have an auto sleeper and I found the bed desperately uncomfortable, memory foam topper cut to size makes a world of difference

IKEA do a foam mattress that can be cut up easily with an electric carving knife. It worked out cheaper than buying the foam from many other places. Might be worth a nose.

The point is memory foam is sooooo much better. You get what you pay for.

Our bed was hopelessly uncomfy we just went with a mattress topper. We roll it up into a a old 2 person sleeping bag case!

The IKEA one has a bonded memory foam layer.

Does anybody have the measurements of the autosleeper downstairs mattress?
My wife is away in it so I cant measure it myself.. looked at all the brochures etc I could find with google, but no luck..

Like the topic starter mine can do with a revamp of the mattress. I even trapped a nerve whilst sleeping in it last week so very sore leg at the moment.. think the old mattress could be partly to blame for that..

FYI for those with the same issue I have now measured the mattresses:

Backseat bottom: 60x115x10cm
Backseat backrest: 50*115*10CM
back end: this is a 80*135*10CM shape with a cutout in the frontcorner to of 10*20CM (making it like a fat L shape, if that makes sense)

+1 for the memory form topper it i what we have in our Autosleeper

Got the firm foam from these lads, very happy with it. I'm sure there would be something similar for british market.

Don't get the 4 inch firm foam one from Ikea, it's like sleeping on a slab of concrete!

I used http://www.gbfoamdirect.co.uk for my top bed cushions
They were well priced and good.

But... I thought I would get it slightly thicker for comfort and guess what, I didn't give any consideration for the roof coming down and I could not close it! I only made it an extra inch.

I had to improvise a wood saw on my bench grinder and turn it in to a foam slicer to take that extra inch off
