Upgrading Our Mattress From Foam To Springs

[@spudman869]

OMG you had me in hysterics getting the mattress in, thanks for the much need laugh.

[@ElizabethAnderson-y8w]

Just watched the mattress saga so sorry but Neil you made my laugh trying to get it into the van 😂

[@UrbanVanlife]

Got to admit Iv done easier things

[@expat0149]

The flat i am living in had a mattress on the bed , i swear it was trying to kill me , got a matress that cost a fortune , but oh my god the difference , it's brilliant , a good matress is massivley important to a good nights sleep :)

[@frenchysvanlife]

I’m the same mate. I’ve gone for a spring mattress. Originally I cut one down by about 300mm to fit width ways but now I’m reconfiguring the layout to have a full size double mattress in that you would have at home so I can have more leg room. Big of a pain in the ass but want to sleep comfortably so worth it in the end. Glad you said it’s not as heavy as I’m getting concerned about weight as I’ve just had my van weighed and it came back as 2800kg and I’ve still got the kitchen/shower and some other bits to build🥴. Love your videos mate and appreciate how much work goes into it as trying to record a new load for my little channel. Take care you two, all the best! Dan

[@PK_Blinder]

Im just imagining Emma looking out of the bedroom window laughing to herself.... 😉🤣🤣 Then at 5:48 the look on Emma's face as Neil drops it... 🤣🤣🤣

[@UrbanVanlife]

Can’t laugh at the moment it still hurts but yeah it was a given it was going to drop 😂

[@pengoocamper]

🐑In stiches ....I had the same getting my mattress up the stairs again on my own....That deep breathing on your mic just remind me how bad it was .....Nice job

[@Peter-at-Heres-The-Thing]

Anyone seen the classic Laurel and Hardy "Music Box" (Piano) short? Ha ha. Watching you struggle to get the mattress in your van Neil was comedy gold.

Good to see Emma up on your feet lovely. Im with you memory foam is crap, had one years ago, it lodt its nemory adter 2 years and i was sleeping in a turret lol Enjoy your sleep 😊

[@UrbanVanlife]

Thank you and yeah we are the same we have had the mattress for a couple of years now and we know this will be better for us!

[@LeisureBit]

Really helpful and timely, can’t beat a comfy mattress. Love what you’ve done to extend the bed, I’ve not seen that before and very clever idea. Hope you’re both good and go on - let’s have a puppy update 🐕 😀 All the best, David & Rachel 👍

[@JohirIslam07]

Wow, what an upgrade! I'm curious about the process of customizing a sprung mattress for a camper van and how it enhances your sleep quality and travel experience.

[@alisongottfreund]

Good to see u Emma hope ur feeling better soon and please please could we see the puppies and how’s mummy 1 🐕🐕

Oh my goodness. Haven’t laughed that much in ages!! And then the hair 😂 Thanks I so needed that 😊 Emma so glad your feeling brighter, just don’t run before you can walk eh ;) xx

[@UrbanVanlife]

Thank you, your not the first to tell me that about running before I can walk 😂😂

[@RollingwithTheRobsons]

That sounds like me. I tried to have a mattress that was full memory foam, great reviews etc Had mega back issues with it. Swapped to hybrid and it's been much much better. Although still think need a full spring mattress.

[@NOMAD-LEISURE]

Top class @mattresmade are! Couldn't be happier with mine either , nothing is a problem for them to make . Paul SBC

Nice looking mattress and the prices seem fair. I was watching and said I'm surprised you still had your jacket on and with that you removed it lol.

Just starting my build ironically the mattress in my head is going to be one of the hardest things to source well the right one ☝️ lol so thx for this video

[@UrbanVanlife]

Have to admit mate we had the same feeling . We allwsys had t4s and rock and roll beds so when we built the crafter I was like where the hell we getting a spring mattress . Wish I’d have known back then what I know now . Good luck with the build buddy

Should have put a ratchet strap round it to bend the ends in…would have saved you all,the effort…I’m in your camp with regards sprung and foam mattresses…good upgrade 👍

[@graygoescampin]

🦫 Totally agree about the new mattress choice. Don't like full foam ones either. Love ur vids guys keep up the good work.

[@anyjimblogs]

Thanks for sharing the video. How much does the new Mattress Made mattress weigh?

[@UrbanVanlife]

Not sure mate they would be the best people to talk to about that but I know from putting it in the van it’s lighter than the older memory phone one

[@RobOutdoor]

🤣🤣like watching one of Wild videos, fair play for getting that mattress in Neil!!

[@Johnkol88]

[@dave4803]

Sprung always wears though and the springs poke you. The trick to memory foam is buy a thicker one or glue two together with fabric glue, then buy a waterproof zipped cover and a zipped fabric outer cover. Mine is now 30cm deep and with the two covers doesn't get too warm or cold and has the right level of padding. You want it firmed add more padding, want it softer take some away,.

[@UrbanVanlife]

Last mattress was two types of foam as stated in the video and wasn’t right for us, but each to their own

[@dave4803]

[@lankycab]

🐦‍🔥 When you said you're both tall, how tall is that? Looking at the size of the bed, I would have thought side to side would have been better. I definitely wouldn't be able to fit in it, I'm 6'8! I'd have to go corner to corner 😆 🤣 Get well soon Emma & I wish the next litter to all be healthy.

[@UrbanVanlife]

We are not tall at all 😂😂😂 Neil’s 5”6 and I’m smaller again so ….. if we had side pods it would work but as we don’t we had to make a solution that works for us 😂😂

[@brianparker5228]

A couple of ratchet straps would have helped you no end both with removal and installation of the mattress

[@darrenj3267]

not sure why, but my brain just started looping laurel and hardy theme tune as Neil fought with the new mattress
