Slightly inspired by the camping beds thread. We have a trip planned in a hired transporter in May, we’ve had one before and memory of the beds is they were rock hard. So was thinking of getting something to go on top for a tad more comfort. I wondered if others do the same, and what people use if so - I wondered about a couple of alpkit dozers (which we could also then use in the tent).

We use https://www.duvalay.co.uk/ in ours. Bit pricy if you are only hiring! If you have camping beds I would use them. Transporter beds are pretty stand 112, 120, 130, 150 width. If you know what it is in the hire van it would help?

Vango 10cm California self inflating mattress. Absolute game changer for kipping in the van. Designed to be a perfect fit on a traditional transporter bed.

Saves faffing with a sheet. Unless you don't want to sleep on a sheet. Except you do want to sleep on a sheet or else you'd be in a tent or something

I use an alpkit double dozer on the few occasions I've ended up in the van. Makes for a much better bed than the crap futon VW supply themselves.

We have a "Outdoor Revolution Camp Star Top of the Pop 50mm" upstairs.  I sleep on the rock and roll bed downstairs and you're right it isn't exactly soft.
