I have been thinking about a new mattress for the Hymer, at present it is still the original sprung one but was thinking of a solid foam one-not memory foam but not sure as to what 'weight'/density would be best, we use a memory foam topper and would keep that. Any ideas anyone?

We replaced ours last year and went to our local upholstery man. He used bed grade foam, covered it with a zip cover and charged us £220. We're delighted with it.

Some of the most comfortable beds I have been on were in the Burstner vans when they are new; soft yet firm. As Burstner and Hymer have common ancestry, perhaps a new replacement bed from your Hymer supplier. The foam inside our van, after 6 years is ready to be replaced as, like your bed, it is showing its age and gone soft.

How old is your Hymer? Ours is now 12 years old and I would not think of changing the sprung mattresses. They are very comfortable (and I'm comparing that with a high quality pocket-sprung mattress in the house).
If you need to change the mattress, I would look for a Hymer replacement - although it will not be cheap!

many many years! since I was a kid
I don't recommend using a solid foam mattress in a motorhome as they sweat and deteriorate much quicker than a sprung one. there a couple of companies on eBay that make bespoke sized sprung mattresses from about £300 upwards for a good quality one

Sorry, dont agree I have sorted mine using research of a specialised underlay which stops the dreaded damp/fungi,deterioration that you refer too, checked regularly absolutely no signs of damp:cool:
