Additional Notes:
(after 3 years of ownership)
1) When we're on gravel, I started to notice some back pain. So the easy solution to this has been to use our backpacking air pads to go beneath each side. This provides the extra bit of support without having to change the composition of the mattress and has allowed us to keep using this mattress.
2) While it would be nice to have this as a full queen, having it cut down to the size of my car, has been nice because it fits nicely in the car when rolled up. This is provided us with more configurations of how to pack it.
(after 2 years of ownership):
1) My girlfriend and I primarily use this in our tent because we have a big tent and this mattress is so incredibly comfortable! We just be put it on the ground (or you can put it on a queen sized cot if you have one). We bring this mattress everywhere we go because it is so much more comfortable than sleeping on an air mattress. We have used this for 100+ nights and it has made our camping experience extremely enjoyable and we recommend it to everyone.
2) Once I knew the bed was the firmness I wanted, I used the foam glue because it made it easier to roll up.
3) You'll want to flip your bed over during the day to let any moisture build-up evaporate (or you can put 2 beach towels under the bed and dry those out). This prevents any mold concerns.
4) We like firmer beds (7-8 level firmness) so this setup works for us! mattresshelp.o...

I just googled the density of my rock climbing pad. 2.2lbs. It's pretty stiff. I can only imagine 2.9lbs! Great Video!

Nice vid. I bought a cotton futon with 4 layers of cotton. Its about 12cm but slightly hard. Going 2 modify with foam. Camping in style is the way to go

According to Foam Factory, density doesn’t mean it’s more firm, it just means it’ll be higher quality and last longer. “Support Factor” is the rating that correlates to firmness. The one you linked is 1.8 and the firmest option they have is the LUX foam which is 1.9

For those reasons I went with the higher density foam thinking it wouldn’t make a difference in firmness. I’m not sure what the website had a few years ago, but the main takeaway is to buy the correct foam that emulates bedding. I’m pretty sure I bought the LUX at first and it was way too firm for me (would have been fine for a sitting cushion).

Great design! easy to do and nice to have it custom made to fit the space. Have you got a video on how you made your bed frame? :)

Thanks for making this video. Are both foam and topper 2 inches? Or 3 inches?

How do you check for density? I don't think it is online.
