The helium 3.8 is more or less the perfect fit on a standard bed. Ive got the wider slightly thicker mountain equipment glacier 5.0 on my wide sp bed and that fits perfectly inside the outer padded section as is even more comfy.

Helium is narrow at 510mm on standard IMO - annoys me when I turn over! Adtrek / larger SIMs are 610mm which is perfect on standard - could depend on how large / fat you are / I am . . . !

yep +3
I have used my Helium on 3 different beds and its been perfect not too narrow at all on any of them and I was 17 stone with a 50" chest
and never needed to blow into it and turn it into an Airbed either its called a Self inflating mattress for a reason

Measured up my bed and the ME Glacier 5 fits perfect. So I've took the plunge and ordered one.

you've got to be careful not to buy one too thick for the sake of it

I put my sleeping bag on top my sim and sleep on top of it with the bed chair cover to cover me..
As I am always getting far too hot maybe I should get rid of the sleeping bag, but I don't want to sleep directly on the SIM
. What does everyone cover their SIM with, I am presuming it's too hot for anybody to get in a sleeping bag atm..

I purchased a single bed fitted cotton mattress cover off amazon for about 7 quid, does the job perfectly

Sorry if this is a stupid question... Does the sim replace the crappy foam mattress supplied or does that go on top off the sim after?

That's two questions and its "No" to both.
The "SIM" goes on top of the "crappy foam mattress".

yes that's the one Gerry recommends, I can confirm it fits the Solar C-Tech and also the Trakker ELS perfectly
