I first discovered them while looking the prototype for nu-camp for a half-ton truck.Please share with me your thoughts as well as alternative less costly ideas you may have.JuanitaFroli TRAVEL Modular Bed System - Froli Systems
Re: Froli Sleep System Reply #1 – February 20, 2020, 03:37:45 pm Never seen or heard of the Froli. Not sure how you would use it in an LD, replacing the bunk mattress maybe?Many LD owners, self included, find the stock mattresses to be too hard . Memory foam toppers are common additions. Adding a 3" topper to our bunk made it very comfortable.Costco and BB&B are two places where they are normally carried at decent prices.Larry 1 Likes
Re: Froli Sleep System Reply #2 – February 21, 2020, 01:02:47 am I just read through the Froli website. It's a very interesting concept, and looks promising. That said, in a Lazy Daze I'd join Larry in suggesting a good-quality memory foam topper on the existing mattress. That combination has worked well for me.Since we're talking about mattresses, here's another alternative. In my Trillium, I built a custom-shaped foam mattress. First, I ordered five sheets of one inch thick foam, each in a different density. I stacked them with the densest foam on the bottom and the softest on the top. I cut them to the exact shape I needed, using a twenty-dollar electric carving knife. I didn't bother to try to glue them together. Instead, I covered them with an elasticized bottom sheet, top sheet, and down comforter.The result is a very comfortable mattress. The five-layer density gradient really makes a difference compared to the slab-of-foam mattresses I've used in the past. This was not my idea, by the way--I got it from a friend. 3 Likes
Re: Froli Sleep System Reply #3 – February 21, 2020, 10:31:56 am This apparently is a "soft" boxspring which will allow whatever you put on it to have more give and be softer. So, the two components have to work together to give you the feel you want. This would be a bit tricky if you can't try it first. If for some reason you don't want to deal with foam it could be an alternative. It depends on how fussy you are about the right mattress "feel". I'm fussy myself and use 3" of latex (not memory) foam. With foam you have two decisions to make - which type and how many inches. Fortunately Walmart will take your returns as you cycle through what is available and test them.Frank 1 Likes
Re: Froli Sleep System Reply #4 – February 21, 2020, 01:51:02 pm "If for some reason you don't want to deal with foam [Froli] could be an alternative."Although you have to have a mattress of some kind on top of the Froli springs, and they say that innerspring mattresses aren't a good choice... which leaves foam.It looks as if the Froli system's main advantages are that it can be configured to any shape (e.g., oddly-shaped RV beds or V-berths in boats), and that you can customize the stiffness of the support in detail (e.g., stiffer lumbar support, softer shoulder support)."Fortunately Walmart will take your returns as you cycle through what is available and test them."Thinking about that makes me wince. What do they do with those returns? Responsibly recycle them? Or re-shrink-wrap them and resell them, potentially with fleas or bedbugs? Knowing Walmart...
