1. The criteria for choosing your bed in a camper van or van

First of all, the choice of sleeping arrangements for your campervan will depend mainly on your preferences for comfort and storage space. Here are some elements to consider to help you make an informed choice:

• Size: Measure the available space in your van to determine the best bed size. If you have a small van, you can opt for a convertible bench bed, which converts into a bed at night. If you have more space, you may want to consider a permanent bed.
• Comfort: Choose a quality mattress that will provide good support and a comfortable night's sleep. Memory foam mattresses are a popular option for vans and motorhomes because they are lightweight, comfortable, and conform to your body's shape.
• Storage: If you need extra storage space, you can opt for a bed that lifts up to reveal storage space underneath. You can also add drawers or shelves under your bed to maximize storage space.
• Budget: Costs vary considerably depending on the type of bed you choose. A thick mattress topper is often the most affordable option, while custom-made beds can be quite expensive.

2. The mattress topper: a practical and economical solution

One of the easiest and most affordable ways to improve the comfort of your sleeping area is to use a mattress topper . A mattress topper is an extra layer that is placed on top of your existing mattress, but if the mattress is thick enough (over 6cm), it can replace a mattress on an extra bed. They are easy to install and can make a big difference in the quality of your sleep.

3. Choose your mattress topper carefully

When choosing a mattress topper for your campervan or motorhome, it's important to consider the size of your bed. Mattress toppers come in a variety of sizes, and it's essential to find a model that fits your bed perfectly. At Bdreams, we can cut the foam of the mattress topper to fit your campervan's bed.

When it comes to mattress topper materials, there are a variety of options available on the market. Memory foam toppers are the most popular for vans and campers, as they conform to your body shape for optimal support and even weight distribution. Latex toppers are also a popular option, as they offer excellent firm support while being naturally hypoallergenic.

It's also important to consider the weight and ease of storage of your mattress topper. Lighter mattress toppers are easier to handle and store in limited space. It's also recommended to choose a model that can be easily rolled up or folded, for easier storage and transport. For example, our Rolls mattress topper is made of memory foam and can be folded 3 or 4 times in its storage bag provided upon purchase.

In conclusion, choosing the right mattress for a campervan or motorhome can be challenging, but using a mattress topper can make a big difference in terms of comfort and support. When choosing a mattress topper, consider size, composition, weight, and ease of storage, and enjoy restful nights of sleep, even on the road.
