Travel cot.... aaaargh!

What can I do to get my DS aged 20 months to sleep in a travel cot? He sleeps well at home in his own cot but is a nightmare in a travel cot and wakes at least 7/8 times a night. Any tips? I'm tempted to try one of those 'Ready Beds' for toddlers. Has anyone tried one?

my dd has one of those \link{http://www.mothercare.com/invt/lz4599&bklist=\matress toppers} without this she wont sleep in her (15mo) could it be that the mattress isnt v comfy? you could prob try putting towels under the sheet iyswim to see if that helps make it comfier?

We have a shop down here in Clapham Junction that sells foam. I can buy two squares that fit the travel cot exactly. (But they would cut any shape - that you could then roll up.)I would not travel without it. I wrap the sqares in black bin bags, tie them up and check them through with the rest of the suitcases.
Makes such a difference.

Doesn't appear treated. I cover it with a couple of sheets anyway. Wouldn't use it for a baby under 3 months, perhaps, but at 20 months I think it would be fine.
Do you live in London. Might be worth making a trip to my local foam shop - though I'm sure you could check out the yellow pages. Or find someone who does upholstory, he'll tell where to buy foam.
