Bongo Fury

Until my dog demolished it at the Bash, I used a Lidl guest bed as a mattress for my conversion. It fitted perfectly and was far more comfortable than the thin slab of memory foam that came with the fold out bed.

I hoped to just get a replacement, but all the local Lidls did not have them in stock when they were last on offer and I have drawn a blank on finding anything in a camping shop. I am not a fan of plastic inflatable mattresses.They slide around and get punctured.

Can anyone recommend anything which will substitute and is as comfortable. Or ideally a supplier of the Lidll version.

Absolutely no substitute for them!

Still, it must be about time they had them on sale again as they do come up quite regularly, more so than many of their occasional lines.

If I don't need the absolute comfort of the guest beds, I use self inflating camping mats but they would, I fear, be dog demolishable in an instant by either tooth or claw. Try a lounger cushion until the guest beds come back on sale. They are slightly narrower but pack away in the same fashion.

Pm me as i have a proper matress for sale memory tpye

I would lend you one Mary, but I'd like it back in one piece

But if I see one, I'll buy it for you

The offer to buy one for me is very much appreciated Jilly. If you come across any reference to Lidl having them in stock again give me a pm. Last time they had them in the brochure at the start of June, but they were not on the website as in stock and none of the local stores had any in. A loan around Jaws the Terrier is not recommended. I am still finding bits of foam in obscure corners of the Bongo. No idea what set her off as I had had the bed a couple of years, but she really had fun with it.

We have futon shop 'bed in a bag' we got them in a sale very comfy but a bit bulky. We have travelled to southern Spain using self inflating camping mats which I find a bit slippery and need air top up each night.

Much dearer than Lidl, but:

There seem to be quite a lot on Amazon.

This one is just under £25, though I don't know how it compares with Lidl ones, I have never seen theirs.

That's plus £12 postage and don't you have to add vat on amazon

Ah - I didn't spot the postage! If it was supplied by Amazon themselves everything over £10 is free postage, but that will make it nearly £37.

But I have never had to add VAT on anything from Amazon or anyone who sells via Amazon, so I think that is included.

Just out of interest, how much are the Lidl ones when they have them?

I was searching for 'Lidl folding mattress' and found this - Seems that Lidl recalled some of their folding mattresses / guest beds for unspecified safety reasons (I suppose not fire resistant??) Just 2 months ago (May 2014)
