Hi,

I always bring all the bedding out of the van over winter, earlier this year we bought duvalays, I was wondering do you store them over winter flat or rolled up? They are one of the best things we have bought for the van 17

We bring ours in over winter and have left them rolled up.

Didn't cause any problems.

Are they easy to store under the seats during the season. We are desperate for a comfy nights sleep?!!

Thanks Les - we have a 2 berth van (just got rid of our fixed bed and downsized) but find it very uncomfy. The reviews are excellent so thought we would give them a try, they are expensive but for a decent nights sleep I guess it's money well spent!! Storage was our only worry.

Check the Duvalay website. They give the rolled up dimensions of each of the various options.

E.G. The roll length is always 66 cms, but the roll diameter varies between 29 and 52 cms depending on which mattress & duvet thickness you go for.

We have the 5 cm mattress & they will NOT fit under the seating in our van.

Mine doesn't fit in my little caravan's underseat storage so I just leave it unrolled and spread out on the seat during the day covered with a throw (which is on the seats anyway!)
