Guide - Can I sleep on a topper only?

We explain whether you can sleep on a topper only, what the differences are and which Vanmade® Topper best suits your sleeping preference.

Summary

Summarized for you

The Vanmade® Premium Gel Topper is designed for those who prefer a soft and cozy surface. Its gentle gel foam relieves pressure on the shoulders and hips, creating a pleasantly floating sleeping sensation – ideal for side sleepers or campers whose base is too firm.

The Vanmade® Hybrid Topper, on the other hand, provides a firmer, more stable surface. The supportive composite foam ensures consistent support and a calm, compact feel – especially suitable for back sleepers and anyone who values reliable support on variable camper surfaces.

For connoisseurs & side sleepers – the Premium Gel Topper

You like it soft, enjoy a snug feel, and are looking for that extra touch of coziness because your surface is too firm? Then the Vanmade® Premium Gel Topper is just right for you. The high-quality gel foam with firmness level 1 and a density of 50 kg/m³ gently adapts to your body, relieves pressure on shoulders and hips, and creates that pleasantly weightless feeling you usually only experience at home.

It adds softness exactly where you need it – without your bed losing stability. Especially side sleepers and anyone who wants to unwind after a long day will noticeably enjoy more comfort and more restful sleep with the Premium Gel Topper. Choose between 4 cm, 6 cm, or luxurious 8 cm height. This turns your surface into a maximally cozy relaxation zone.

Experiences from the Vanmade® Community

Vanessa, 29 years
Campervan owner

“I finally wanted to sleep as softly in my van as I do at home – the Premium Gel Topper was the best decision ever. It makes my slightly firmer mattress super cozy, and I wake up without back pain. For me, the perfect upgrade for the van!”

Daniel, 53 years
Motorhome traveler

“I like it stable, without sinking in. The Hybrid Topper gives me exactly that – firm support and a calm surface, even when I’m sleeping over my modular cushions. Now I feel that everything supports evenly and properly – just my thing.”

Svenja, 35 years
Globetrotter

“I placed my Premium Gel Topper on top of my folding mattress, and that was a game changer. Now the surface is wonderfully soft, and nothing presses anymore. Especially after long days outdoors, this is exactly the kind of comfort I love.”

Thomas, 61 years
On the road in a Unimog

“In my Unimog, things can get pretty bumpy – that’s where the Hybrid Topper on top of my mattress brings calm. It makes the surface more stable, nothing slides, and I lie evenly. It simply gives me a good, secure feeling at night – no matter where I park.”

Show FAQ

How do Vanmade® toppers differ?

If you want to make your mattress or upholstery softer and sink in comfortably, the gel foam topper with a firmness rating of H1 is the ideal choice. Do you have an existing mattress that is a little too soft for you? Then the hybrid topper with a firmness rating of H3 can give you the support you need and make your mattress feel firmer.

Is a custom-made mattress topper suitable for all campers?

Absolutely! Our mattress toppers are individually tailored to the shape and dimensions of your motorhome, caravan or camper. Whether you have a special shape, a small double bed or a customised bed construction, your topper will be made to measure so that it fits perfectly and offers the best possible sleeping comfort. Whether you have bevelled corners, customised edges or curves and radii – anything is possible.

What foams are used in the Vanmade® toppers?

Our Premium Gel Topper is made from especially cozy gel foam with a density of 50 kg/m³. The 100% gel foam core allows you to sink in softly while also filling any mattress gaps. Our Hybrid Topper is made from supportive cold foam with a density of 40 kg/m³ – perfect if you prefer a slightly firmer and more supportive lying feel.

Can I roll up the gel foam topper?

With a height of 4 cm, the gel foam topper can be rolled up easily – ideal for short-term storage. For heights of 6 cm or 8 cm, we recommend folding the topper. Optionally, folding edges can be configured to optimise the topper's folding capability.
