Looking for some experiences with caravan mattresses on the move please, We have a trailer caravan with two single beds either side of the floor plan. The near side one is partially recessed into the shape of the end-bathroom, the offside one is open all along one side.
This presents us with a problem and some advice based on personal experience would be useful please. The offside mattress and bedding is guaranteed to finish up in the floor after a few miles towing. This is irritating if you want a quick stop overnight and the bedding and mattress has to be lifted off the floor and the bed remade.
I also believe there may be safety issues in that a single Duvalay mattress, mattress topper, fitted sheet, duvet and pillow weigh a significant amount to be swanning around as an unsecured load in a moving caravan.
I have considered ideas such as restraining webbing straps, bungee cords and Velcro strips (which give problems if you want to turn the mattress). Anyone any suggestions, particularly those who have had a similar problem?
Many thanks.
