jayco swan mattress uncomfortable
Permalink  

hi all, just tried out the new swan and find the queen mattress (its supposedly innerspring) really uncomfortable. Wondering whether to purchase another mattress of better quality or to buy a thick foam underlay. Any suggestions....on how to get a better nights sleep? Thanks guys.

Lin & John (yawn yawn)

Hi Lin & Jon
We had a thick foam underlay but found it moves around so we went to pillow talk and got a sheep skin underlay cost around $400 its the thick one.and for us it is the best thing we ever did as we live in the van full time and when we do house sits we take it with us
Hope this helps
Rod

We use a microfiber ball overlay on our bed, and it is so cosy and comfortable - we recently stayed in a caravan park cabin - good bed, but the mattress had no give in it. Couldn't wait to be back in our own cosy bed.

Do you just put the sheet over the foam Jack or have you covered it ?

How do you find it on hot nights?

Gee, full of questions aren't I Jack biggrin

I'm having the same problems with my CV single mattress. I put the egg cartons on top but find the new version (Green not Yellow) are not as comfortable. 

I am thinking of getting one made up with a pillow top on it.

BEDS DIRECT in Melbourne specialise in custom caravan and camper mattresses. We have a Queen size top of their range but not overly expensive either called "RE CREATION". Have never slept on a more comfortable or luxurious mattress in my life. Guaranteed a beautiful sleep each and every night (or afternoon). Highly recommend this product.

We use a pillow topper from Pillow Talk on our caravan mattress, bset money spent, sub $100 it was cheaper then that but not at home to check.

Improved the mattress serval times over, money well spent, cool and comfortable. Ralph.
