Duvalay

I have looked at these before but still use a sleeping bag and mattress. Does anybody use one of these directly onto the Bongo back seats? If so how comfortable is it?

Yes, I have on occasion. We have a caravan and use them in there all the time but I sometimes have the odd night in the Bongo. We also use them for guests in the house as they work fine on the floor.

They are the perfect solution for sleeping on the seats in my opinion. I remove the headrests and sometimes fill the dips in the seats with garden chair cushions to make it flatter.

Depending on what thickness of memory foam you get they are quite large when rolled up but its no price to pay for a good nights sleep

Quality product too, make sure you get a carry bag as they don't come with one

I've made my own 'duvalay' with a single memory foam mattress, single quilt and a double quilt cover. I tried it this weekend for the first time and it makes a massive difference over the bumpy seats :)
