SIM/foam hybrid mattress or something else?

I think I want a single SIM/foam mattress but I'm struggling to find one, unless I'm being really dim. I can only see a double Coleman one and can't identify one on the decathlon site. Can anyone help?

Or is there something else I should be looking at? I'm a side sleeper and would really like something a little more substantial than I've had previously

I have a 10cm Berghaus one. It's awesome. Go outdoors have some pumped up that you can try- it's worth a look there.

Found few on the net for you.

  • Vango Comfort 7.5 or 10 (Single): A staple of UK camping. The 10cm version is incredibly plush, robust, and handles side sleeping flawlessly.
  • Vango Shangri-La II 10 (or 15): If your budget allows, this is the absolute pinnacle of camping luxury. It uses memory foam and feels identical to a real bed.
  • Hi-Gear Composure LXM (7.5cm or 12.5cm): Available at Go Outdoors. If you have their retail member card, these offer incredible value for a very thick, supportive box-walled mattress.
  • Outwell Dreamcatcher Single (7.5cm or 10cm): Outwell makes fantastic family camping gear, and the Dreamcatcher series offers excellent wave-shaped foam support that cradles your shoulders and hips well.

I would recommend 10cm+ thick. We have the Outdoor Revolution Skyfall 12cm ones and they are so comfortable just on the floor.

Thermarest Mondo King (I don't know if they still make them). I got mine about 8yrs ago and they're still perfect. We use them for camping but also for when the DC have friends staying over. Very comfortable and you can side sleep on them with no problems :)
