Memory foam matress topper for travel abroad?

Options
Hi

I have a condition that affects my joints, and we're travelling long haul in a few weeks. I've read a few reviews about the beds being uncomfortable, so i'm looking at whether there are any travel options for memory foam toppers - so far I've only seen ones that are about 5kg - can anyone recommend one that they've used that's good & possibly lighter?

Thanks
Rachel

    I have taken a single and double Dunelm Mill anti allergy mattress topper to Spain. I can't remember how much they weighed but I know they didn't weigh as much as I thought they would. I think the double weighed less than 5 kg. You could ring a store and ask.

    Here's the link to the website: http://www.dunelm-mill.com/shop/anti-allergy-memory-foam-mattress-topper-322976#powerReviewDetail

    I can thoroughly recommend them. When you see them you think they won't make that much difference but the really do.

    Any memory foam topper that's light is not worth having.

    Especially as memory foam quality is measure in weight in the 1st place x kg per cubed meter. 40kg for cheap stuff, 60 on average and 80+ for better quality.

    Could you not buy one when you reach your destination? Even if it's £100 that's only £10 a night or so.
