Does the cover fit theThermarest Basecamp XL does anyone know? I've just been told on the phone from an online camping shop that it doesn't. The small and the regular Basecamp SIM's fit into the corresponding covers buts its not the case with the XL.
Is this true?
That seems odd, when they do a Std version and XL version of the DreamTime.
What I can say though is that we have 2 of the DreamTime XL's and they are brill as a double bed, for our fortnight campings in the South of France during July.

Yes,the Basecamp XL absolutely will fit into the Dreamtime XL cover. I know, because we have both.
We actually bought the Dreamtime XL cases to give a bit of additional luxury to our LuxuryMap XL Thermarests (which are the same width and length as the Basecamp XL -which we also have- but thicker), for longer stays and when room is not so limited.
When I first unpacked the Dreamtime XL cases I wasn't terribly impressed - they look like a fairly basic case, with a zip around 2 sides and a thin layer of compressed foam inside. After inserting the SIM and watching the foam topper spring to life, then trying it out, I changed my mind completely!
They're very expensive- and I had to think about it before buying, for a very long time! - but they are simply fabulous. The foam and the plush top is so, so comfortable. A plus is that you can roll the whole thing up together. It takes a few minutes longer than rolling up a Basecamp XL or a LuxuryMap XL on its own, but if you take your time it's no real chore and the Dreamtime has straps to secure it all, making a sort of integral carry case with carry handle.
I know this makes for an expensive camping bed, but it genuinely is one of the best things we've bought for camping, ever.
