Floor mattress recommendations

Hello,
Our DD 3.7 year’s old, was a really good independent sleeper until a bout episode of separation anxiety has meant that I need to sleep on the floor in her room. We tried last night to give her a Tonie Box sleepy story which she fell asleep to independently but then wanted to listen to again once she woke from 2am until 5am. I eventually took it away and went back to sleeping on the floor. So I’m finally reaching a place of acceptance and rather than battle it I’m going to lean in and be there for her as she clearly needs me in order to rest.
So I want to make as comfortable a space as possible for me and my back. Can anyone recommend a roll out or fold out single floor mattress? There are such mixed reviews out there so I’m a bit lost!

I would replace her bed with a small double floor bed and just get in there with her

Agree with pp above

We have something similar to this

Thank you both so much. Unfortunately, her room just doesn’t have the space for a small double - it’s a really small room and I think I want to keep my sleep space separate in the hope that she will one day (magically) go back to being an independent sleeper again.
Poodley - how long have you had the small double for?
