Had ours about 6 years now, and suit our needs very well.
We don't have a fixed bed in our MH, just two full length sofas that we can use as single beds or a frame slides out from under each sofa to make a huge double bed.
We normally only use the single bed setup, and it only takes a minute to roll out the Duvalay's in the evening and another minute in the morning to roll them up and put them away.
We find our Duvalay's to be very comfortable and snuggley and an easy bed making option.
You can change both the memory foam mattress and duvet to suit your comfort and seasonal conditions.

Have been using them for 10 years. Much better than a sleeping bag, but bulkier to store unless you roll them up and use them as a back cushion. Good quality.

Not a fan. I don’t like the memory foam mattress. I bought a Zonesleep topper instead which transformed my sleep in my van. I also have a wool duvet, and a wool blanket to add when it’s really cold. Snug as anything in the van!

We have had ours for about 4 or 5 years. Tried all sorts before hand and these are, in our view, the best. We bought the version with both weight quilts which obviously we use as appropriate. They were bulky to store in previous van, but this van has a fixed bed so no problem. Easy to get out in the night, and easy to snuggle down in to keep cosy.

Im same as brize they very comfy,easy to roll uo and hygienic as you can take covers off and wash not as constrictive as a sleeping bag as you can dangle your foot out of bed ,when you get hot

Had ours since feb this year and really like them. We have a new van on order which will consist of two singles that can be made very easily into a double. We bought them for the new motorhome, but have been using them since we got them. Very pleased with our purchase.

We looked at Duvalay and while the quality seemed good they were (we thought) quite expensive for what they did.

So we bought a double quilt which was one of those which has two different tog ratings inbuilt, ie a hot woman and a cool man side on it (hhhmmmm, quite an accurate description of us ). Then we just folded it down the middle along it's high tog / low tog seam and put some presstuds along the bottom edge to keep it folded together at the bottom.

So now we have a cheepo Duvalay, in that it has about the same dimensions as a Duvalay and you can either have it as high tog on top to keep warm with the lower tog under you or low tog on top to be cooler while the higher tog is under you.

I used it all this year and found it great, so we will be manufacturing another on this year for Mrs Sandancers.

The cost of the twin quilt was £15.

We have used the Duvalays for the past 3 years. We find the comfortable and with the extra quilts flexible for all seasons.
Only downside is changing the covers, its a right pita.

Yes. Try and aim cover changing for when at home. Bring them inside, one at a time, and they them out on the double bed to do it! Does make it easier that van is at home and we are a bungalow.
