Looked around on Bongo fury and found perfect solution? For comfy night's sleep.
There's photos of a fillet mattress to put over the lumpy bits! Downstairs (as opposed to upstairs)
But no price or any info or links on where you can buy one.
Any ideas?

Oh boo! Thanks anyway. Just been down to foam shop to see if they could cut me a piece to size and it's closed down : ( guess foam is not the business to be in?

Sorry to be boring with a serious answer but I bought a couple of sunbed covers from Aldi. £20 each and can be used to even out the worst of the bumps.

Cheers Dave. I can do boring. I'll check that out. Didn't think it'd be this tricky. Found a foam place, nope, not Foam4u or even foamsrus! But pretty expensive. Thinking more along the cheap and cheerful line

I'd highly recommend a Duvalay for the most comfortable nights sleep you'll get in a Bongo:

We use 3/4 length Thermarests. Works a treat. (other less expensive 3/4 length self inflating mattresses are available- Alpkit?)

I use one of these folds up and fits behind the rear seats when not in use.
Does what it says on the tin,and it's made to measure the Bongo cabin.

Thanks for all the help peeps. All gratefully received!
In the end we've gone for a piece of memory foam on bay for
£36 which we are going to cut to size.
Hoping it'll roll up good and small!
I'll keep you posted
