Mattress springs and ventilation

Postby Cosmo » Tue Apr 25, 2017 4:07 pm

Does anyone have any first hand experience with the Froli Sleep System?
Says it provides springs and under mattress air circulation to control condensation that can collect there.

If you are looking to eliminate moisture under a mattress, check out Hypervent Marine

Thanks,
No moisture problems so far. Was wondering about the comfort factor and user experience.

Froli Star springs were recently discussed in the Camp Inn forum. I did a little research and found that Froli Star springs for a queen sized bed cost about $400. While a good nights sleep is almost "priceless" if I was going to spend about $400 to sleep well in a teardrop I'd want to first buy a very good foam or latex mattress before buying Froli springs (if excessive condensation/moisture under a bed isn't an ongoing problem). They add more height to your bed which may interfere with the limited space for your feet between a bed and cabinets above your feet.

Enough Hypervent to support and ventilate a queen sized mattress would cost about 1/4 as much as Froli Star springs do.

:thinking: I do wonder if Froli springs could make a so so mattress considerably more comfortable.

Greenhouse shelving "Dura-Bench" properly supported would give ultimate ventilation.

Maybe epoxying screen fabric like the Mystery13 videos show for foam board would make them more rigid.

I used re-purposed Keter plastic shelving for an under-mattress spacer/waterbarrier on my last trip. (Formerly used as garage shelving, now just piled in a corner, I have lots of 'em, so why not use them? I've been carrying a couple for camping use, since they are waterproof and easily stored.)I arranged several for best fit, tie-wrapped them to one another, and put the mattress(s) on top. Gives about 2 inches of airspace. I recommend them for thicker mattresses, only.
