With spring well and truly here, we’re sure many of you are beginning your adventures for the year ahead. No matter whether you have a caravan, motorhome or campervan, if your vehicle has been out of action over winter, now is the perfect time to get it holiday-ready!
One of the biggest reasons we love leisure vehicles is because of the personal experience you just can’t get when staying in hotels. While you don’t have to gamble on unfamiliar bedding, sleeping areas can often sacrifice elements of comfort for practicality – it’s inevitable when space is limited.
Because of this, it’s important to do as much as possible to maximise comfort wherever you can. Follow our top tips and hints in this blog to upgrade your vehicle, giving it a more homely and cosy feel for you to return to after busy days exploring.
Home comforts
For the best sleep experience when on the road, try and replicate as many features of your home bed as you can. After all, our body needs the same tailored support no matter where we rest. For example, for those who tend to run hot in in the night, that will only be exacerbated in a smaller space, and our cooling Freshtec range can help keep you feeling fresh when things get stuffy.
If you have aches and pains that flare up after exercise, a memory foam mattress or topper will give welcome pressure relief to soothe tired bodies after a day’s walking and make harder sleep surfaces feel more comfortable.
For those who are used to co-sleeping, you don’t have to feel separated from your partner; simply zip two Duvalay sleeping bags together to create a double that maximises small sleep areas and is more like the set-up you’re used to at home.
Make it yours
Getting the basics right doesn’t have to be the end of your journey either, as there are plenty of small, simple touches you can add to maximise the style of your caravan or camper. When it comes to bedding, your colourway choices inject a bit of your personality into your vehicle and opting for neutral tones or shades inspired by nature keep everything feeling cohesive.
Our geo patterned covers help add an element of interest to a plain and basic looking interior without being too bold, as this can sometimes make small spaces feel even smaller.
Complete the look
Return to the inviting atmosphere of a properly made bed to after long hikes in the sunshine or muddy adventures when it rains, with finishing touches such as luxurious pillows and a matching throw that are as practical as they are decorative. When you’re not sleeping, they double as handy cushions and snug blankets for relaxing, whether outdoors or inside.
The magic of parking up in a new spot, but your “bedroom” staying the same ensures a level of comfort and familiarity wherever you choose to roam. When you can travel so easily and experience one stunning view after another, it’s just as important to make the most of the interior as you would with your home décor. After all, it is your vehicle. You bought it to tailor holidays and trips to suit you, so the way it looks should reflect your taste and truly be a home away from home.
