Reflectix X 3. CLICK

I had some laminate flooring underlay, (thin ) laid it down then put reflex on top of that. the underlay stopped any condensation and the reflex did the insulating. Be sure to check under mattress now and see if there is moisture there and dry before going any further.

first I put down a layer of reflective foam.


Than I put down a layer of this plastic mesh designed to be used as a vapor barrier behind stucco. The idea here is air should be able to move through this layer, along with any moisture.


Than I bought a memory foam mattress off of amazon that is same thickness as factory mattress. (before I also had MF topper on factory mattress and it got in the way of cabinet opening.
(picture shows size of box its shipped in)


This was all in my Wolf Creek, but when we bought our Arctic Fox we transferred everything into the AF, and put the brand new mattress from the AF into the Wolf Creek we were trading in. This way whom ever bought our old WC got a brand new, factory sealed Mattress :)

Mattress heaters work GREAT but also insulate under the mattress. The heaters draw a few amps but is thermostatically controlled.

A 2" foam topper combined with a 1/2" foam board under the mattress works well for me. If I could afford to loose the head room, I would have gone with 1" foam board.

If you do much cold weather camping, I would suggest you get the proper size space blanket and put it under the topper. This will keep the body heat from going down. Might get one to go over the blanket on top also.

Get a heating mattress pad. It's nice getting into a warm bed.
