We are awaiting delivery of 4 single Outwell Posada camp beds and I am wondering what we should use to go on top.

Saw a link to a Duvalay the other day and am thinking of making my own (can't be difficult......). However, what do you think is more comfortable - a SIM or a mattress topper? I can get a single memory foam topper 3cm deep for £17.49 from Dunelm Mill.

Many thanks

I don't know what would be more comfortable, but I use a SIM and can highly recommend them SIM's roll up quite small which is handy when packing the car. I'm not sure about the size of the mattress topper you're talking about. Perhaps that might be something to think about though, particularly if you're going to be taking four of them.

Have you got a trailer, to transport it all?

I'd say the same as Katie01: SIMs are probably more practical than mattress toppers, due to packed size. The toppers are fine when you get them and they're all nicely compressed, but try getting them back to that pack size for the return journey!
