i must be the only person that doesnt like memory foam.

think about it you lay on it it moulds to your shape. fine if you dont want to move.

i bought a memory foam pillow for my son, they are heavy, yes they smell, and they mould to your shape, the pillow was awfull to get back to a pillow shape.plus they cost a lot if you dont like them what will you do . they dont store very easily.

think of something else. i have problems with my back in our van but i wouldnt use memory foam. i put an old sleeping bag under me for some extra padding not ideal but its ok.

May be worth buying a foam mattress out of a bed shop that you can try and feels comfortable for you, a lot of them have a zip on cover which is easy to alter and sew to the shape required after cutting the mattress to the right size and shape to fit your van.

I bought mine, a 4ft6ins width cut into 2x 2ft3ins from a SleepMasters store and its made by Breasley foam, but Ikea are another likely source of suitable ones especially if you need one longer than the standard british sizes. Beware though that they are quite heavy, especially if you choose a thick memory foam one over standard foam.
