Mattress topper to bridge the gap? (1 Viewer)

[Julesv]

I know the daft suggestions, but does anyone have a sensible solution to the problem of the leg which ALWAYS disappears down the gap between the 2 mattresses on a Hobby Siesta 2010 with LH side fixed french bed? Hubby is a reluctant MoHo man so I need to improve his overnight experience...is a mattress topper the answer, some say they are hot, as we wander in Europe during August that is a consideration...are they thick enough to bridge the gap, your advice please, thanks Jules x

It might be worth replacing the lot with a new mattress from somebody like:-

Made To Measure Custom Mattresses UK | Custom Size Beds

Bespoke, ANY size or shape made to measure mattresses with 5-year warranty and fast & FREE delivery. You draw it, we'll make it with a quick turnaround.

customsizebeds.co.uk

If I have understood correctly.

This would fix the gap problem and also be very comfortable.

I had the same problem in our Hobby. Due to slats being separated like two singles, to allow for individual comfort I think! I found I rolled into centre of the bed. I changed to a Dolmeo. The space just accommodated a king size, the double being too small. This has helped but due to the nature of slat still find I roll into centre of the bed. Bought from Costco a few years ago, for just over £100. Not the lightest and it’s one of those compressed ones that expand After removing them from the bag. I don’t think I’ll have much luck trying to remove it from a traverse bed hemmed in by bathroom cubicle on one side and tech tower on the other.

If you go down the mattress topper route, you can buy cool blue toppers which a not hot to sleep on, some firms offer 2 standards of cover, it is worth paying the little extra for the deluxe cover as they also help to keep you cool

Also the toppers that are like egg boxes are cooler. The ripple side goes up.

We just bought a king size and cut it to shape with a bread knife. That voids the guarantee of course.

Lol we did the same with the mattress for our old Hobby . Tried and tested all Ikea mattresses . Chose , took home having chosen one with a zip cover. Opened cover laid old mattress on top . Cut to shape with electric carving knife . Redid zip , tucked extra material under and secured with large safety pin et voilà perfect and much cheaper than made to measure

Thanks very much, everyone had great suggestions as usual! I've gone with a firm in Kidderminster who make it all onsite, lots of colours & thicknesses to choose from, lets see how hubby fares in Spain this time!

Do you have a very small leg?

If he is still not happy leave him at home and you will have even more room and a very comfortable sleep

Thanks Rosemary, but he is the navigator, I am just the driver so can't leave him behind. The gap is quite large Spriddler,so leg of any size falls in,plus the occasional arm...anyway thanks all it is now sorted and we are off on Monday, lets hope Spain keep their border open a little longer...
