    I'll be replacing ours with the Zinus Green Tea mattress 8in. It's made for Murphy beds and is one of the lightest mattress which is why I choose that one. It's not a topper, it's the entire mattress. Also available in 6, 8, 10 and 12in. Also not expensive. Selling feature for us was the weight since we are tight on payload.

    I bought a 4inch memory foam topper for the mattress that came with the trailer, did so as someone else suggested on this group. Haven't slept on it as yet, just got trailer 2 weeks ago but if that doesnt work I will be replacing with a folding memory foam mattress. The bed is still easy to fold up with the 4 inch mattress but is alittle high to get into.

    There have been several recent posts on this related to the Murphy bed. You might use the search function and read what those folks had to say.

    We bought the Slumber Solutions HighLoft 2" memory foam mattress topper for the OEM mattress in the 17MKE. It works well for us and recommend it if you prefer a firmer bed.

    We just purchased a new 2022 17MKE and like you really found the mattress lacking. I discovered the 'perfect' mattress as a replacement, and it isn't super expensive either. We purchased the "Air Dream Ultra" combo springs/inflatable mattress from SeatingSytem.com. The ultra has a remote Inflate/Deflate, is extremely comfortable because it is an air mattress with built-in springs, and fits the MurphyBed perfectly. We deflate it for a couple seconds then push the bed closed exactly like the original mattress. When we bring the mattress down we just hit the 'inflate' button and it fills the mattress the rest of the way up.
    If you like it harder or softer, just add a little air or remove a little air.

    This one works for us. Very comfortable and folds up to store with the factory mattress. We use ours on top.

    We just purchased a 2023 17MKE. One night on the stock bed and the mattress was gone. Bought a Sleepy's Snug 8" RV Queen memory foam from Mattress Firm. Look on their website. Chat with a "sleep specialist" and you can ask for a discount. Got ours for $269 including tax. Soooo much more comfortable. No problem folding it into the bed although it is heavier.

    I have the same problem with my MKE 17. Have you contacted GD or Seely? Don’t they have an obligation to help us? We paid top dollar for a camper. We cannot sleep in.
