Underlays are also antibacterial and washable, making them very durable and ideal for reuse on your next vacation.

Carpet pad for your roof tent and tent trailer
Particularly in the roof tent, slight condensation can occur on the floor during the night and with temperature differences.
To prevent this from soaking directly into the mattress and causing an unpleasant, musty smell and, in the worst case, rendering your mattress unusable, a suitable carpet pad is definitely recommended.
A mattress base is also ideal for sleeping in a camper.
As a rule, the mattress is simply placed on a built-in table or wooden board, which is not only extremely uncomfortable, but also does not allow moisture to be optimally wicked away.
With the help of an odorless and breathable base, your mattress can be optimally ventilated, which ensures more hygiene and therefore more well-being during your vacation.
A mattress base is suitable for tents and campers:
- Keeps out condensation
- Prevents unpleasant, musty odor from the mattress
- Promotes longevity of the mattress
- More comfortable lying comfort in the caravan
- Optimum ventilation of the mattress
Tip! Mattress base with underfloor ventilation
If you are still looking for a suitable mattress base for your vacation, you should take a closer look at the CAMPWERK mattress base.
