Murphy Bed upgrade in 17MKE???
We have an Imagine XLS 17MKE and we are currently using the mattress that came with the trailer and a 4" foam topper that we cut to fit the existing mattress. This works good and we can still close the Murphy bed easily and it latches without excess strain on anything. I know there are some places that will custom make a mattress and those can get pretty expensive. But I was considering trying something and wanted to know if anyone else had done it. Sams club sells a queen foam mattress for approximately $200.00. We have one on my daughter's bed at home and it is actually quite nice. I was thinking about buying another one of these and cutting a slot into the mattress to help with the "fold" in the Murphy bed. I don't necessarily want to spend $1000 on a custom mattress but I don't want to ruin a $200 mattress either. Any suggestions?

Check out Milliard Bedding. We bought one of their tri-folding memory foam queens for our 239ML Murphy bed.
Very comfortable and you never noticed the seams. It also folded perfectly behind the couch.
Unfortunatly it looks like they're currently out of stock, but Amazon and overstock also carry them.

I have the same bad mattress in my 17 MKE. Have you contacted GD or Sealy to see if they are obligated to help us? We pd top dollar to get a camper we cannot stand to sleep in.

Not to burst a bubble but top dollar for a 17MKE doesn't get you much. Prices post Covid are hugely inflated. Unfortunately the inflated price wasn't because of upgraded products inside the TT. Murphy beds vs regular beds make for lesser quality mattresses. One reason is that murphy style beds are usually in smaller lower priced TT's. Not a big market for that style mattress vs a standard 60x80 queen walkaround.
I always look at mattresses and recliners as throwaway items when deciding on what RV to buy. Most are cheap and not really intended for 40-60 nights a year use. Both will fail way way sooner than better quality products you buy for your home.

Ok. That is your opinion. We must agree to disagree. I believe consumers have a right to expect and RV Manufacturers have an obligation to provide a useable long term mattress in a camper.
