I've recently bought a Darche Hi-View 1800 and while I absolutely love it, the mattress is far from ideal. After one night I could feel my hip touching the tent base. Was looking at Purchasing a second one or a self inflating to put on top of the existing mattress. I went on Darche's website and it seems like they only sell Mattresses for their 1400 and 1600 Mattresses. Does anyone have any solutions? I looked up the Clark Rubber egg shell foam option but that was nearly 200 bucks on its own.

Mattress is 1800 W x 2400 L, any help would be great!

Seems to defeat the whole purpose adding egg foam etc

You sure you’ve allowed enough air in there from new...
there’s nothing worse than the hip touching the ground....

It's possible, Darches user manual is 75% install instructions and 25% pack up instructions. It's useless.

It's just the 65mm foam mattress. The first night that we slept in it we had it open for almost 24 hours straight and it didn't seem to expand at all. I've thought about the Bunno's foam squares, but I'll need a snug fitted sheet to stop them moving around.

G'day! We followed a tip from a neighbour and added eggshell foam to our camper beds. Spotlight:

Selection to choose from, we just used the cheapies ($40?) Work fine, definitely add a layer of comfort. (I'm soft)

Think I've solved it lads. Gonna get a double (138w x 188l) and a single (92w x 188l) egg shell topper, and spin them sideways and place alongside each other. Will give me a coverage of 188w x 230L. Not perfect but bloody close and it won't cost me an arm and a leg. For comparison, I can get a tontine single topper for 49 and a double for 59 bucks. That's top of the line foam for $108. Clark Rubber wanted to charge me $190 for a king size house brand foam topper. I thought they were supposed to be cheap!

Packs of Rubber ? Tiles those 2fpot square things that interlock for kids play areas will make a massive difference
