Would never have an Expanda bed without a inner spring mattress ever again. There just so comfortable and you don't sweat unlike the foam.

I have had a swan which had a foamy and also one Expanda as well. But the last one I ordered with an inner spring mattresses and I haven't looked back since.
I have seen secondhand ones on eBay once. But as for over here I think you might be struggling. I think you might have to order one through caravanland. I could be wrong, someone else may come up with maybe a better idea.
The Expandas now come out standard with inner spring mattresses.

Yeah, like Bushman I've heard the innersprings are terrible, especially for the person sleeping on the seam.
Were not loving the foam though, it's way to firm with no give. My husband wakes up feeling like he's been hit by a truck, so for us we are looking at custom made innersprings with a centre seam. Beds direct in Melbourne will freight interstate! And they have done a few customs mattresses for Expanda owners. Might be worth looking into!

There are a few threads on what members think of them here's one http://www.expandasdownunder.com/threads/done-with-the-inner-spring-mattress.1678/#post-18086 I think the main issue people have is the join between the thick & the thin mattress, there is a thread somewhere where a member has raised the height of the storage area and had a new mattress made that is an even thickness. Personally I dont have a problem with ours
This is the bed mod Capt Gadget is talking about!

Wouldn't it be nice if Jayco pulled their finger out and went back to the drawing board with the beds. Wishful thinking I know.....
Inner springs are great for us but we have a bed each - me at the front and my wife at the back, so the join issue does not arise - and not having to crawl over someone to get out of bed! Visiting rights do exist however! I agree that Jayco should have sorted this problem out by now (that others are experiencing). Still a great van though......
We have innerspring up the grown up end and foam on the kids bed which I have slept on only once and it was like a rock!!!! No give at all. Kids find it fine but I have since bought them a egg topper just so I feel better.
We love our mattress but we do have an egg topper and an overlay just to eradicate the feel of the zip.(which is where mum sleeps)

we have got the foam with extra thick woolen overlaycovers (from ebay) they are sooo comfortable we heard a few negative comments on inner spring and can't complain about the foam
We had an expanda with foam and put an eggshell overlay....beautiful Yao sleep on. We now have Jayco's wonderful inner sprung mattress...not! Have put a topper on and it's good but to be honest I would prefer the foam. If its old foam it may have sunk but we had ours from new and it was great.
We have the innerspring Mattress and just succumbed to the eggshell topper. Must say 'its 10 times better'. Zip joins are gone.
Hello all
I am shocked as to how many people here are not happy with there innerspring mattress. Maybe I should have a go at the egg shell topper and see how I go.
Too me it beats sleeping on foam though but I will try anything once within reason.
M mmm egg shells.
Jurry out right now - but I will let ya know how I go with the egg shells.

We are like Bill me one end and the wife the other we have the eggshell topper and very happy with the innerspring although they are new my brother is starting to have issues with his innerspring but he has to sleep on the join.
I was looking at the innerspring but not so sure after reading lots of bad reports. Just spent our first (easter) weekend in our van and didn't find the foam mattress too bad and I have a shot back. Will be looking at the egg shell topper I think though.
