I guess GD is putting in whatever platform they have at the time. Mine came with the king bed option and the platform is the exact same size as the king mattress. As @boyscout said, making the bed is really not a problem, sliding the mattress down a foot or so really helps. I put a 3 inch Tempurpedic mattess topper on mine and sleep like a baby, made a huge difference.

Ours is a 2018.
To avoid hypotheticals I've just gone out and measured the platform in our king-optioned trailer. It is 66" in width. That makes it 3" WIDER on each side than the queen mattress we chose to put on it. There is NO chance that GD ships queen bed trailers with that 66" platform.
On the other hand, it's nearly certain that they ship most/all king-optioned trailers with a platform about 66" wide. That would be 3" NARROWER on each side than the RV king mattress (which is 72" X 80"), leaving the mattress overhanging the platform by several inches on each side to give it a softer edge for sitting and getting into bed and reduce scraping of limbs on the rough edge of the bed platform. (Ask me how I know about this.)
I'll guess, since I didn't measure the platform in our previous queen-bed trailer, that queen-bed platforms are about 54" wide, much smaller than king-bed platforms.Mark - 2018 Solitude 310GK - 2017 F-350 diesel SRW short box - Pullrite Superglide hitch

We just purchased the Froli system to use in our RV with a queen purple mattress, we get the RV in a few months so will be able to provide a true review soon.
Surprised there is not more talk about this system, it seems very well made, and has at least a 10year life span... if we don't like it, we will put it in the garage with the extra bed above the Happijac.Miranda & Jeff

Solitude 310 GK replacement mattress
My Solitude 310GK came with a king mattress 72X80X6 inches. The 6 inch thickness just clears the shelves on either side of the mattress. Looking to replace mattress but hard to find one 6 inches thick. Question...if i get something thicker, will the shelves be an issue or should i just squeeze them in?
