Lift Support/Strut for storage below mattress
Replaced mattress in my 2021 22MLE with a queen Nectar which weighs fifty-four (54) pounds. Considerably heavier than the POS mattress GD provided. Will a ninety (90) to one hundred (100) pound rated strut suffice or do I need to increase? Thanks for any help.

Call the folks at liftsupportdepot.com and give them the current strut manufacturer and model number and they can advise you on exactly what you need.

Lift Support/Strut for storage below mattress
I added a very heavy thick topper to our OEM mattress and my supports still hold perfectly

I replaced the struts on the bed with ones from liftsupportdepot. On their website I was able to decipher the numbers on the stock struts and ordered heavier ones (60# vs 40#). I remounted them at a slight angle so there is some initial lift on the mattress when opening the storage lid.

When we replaced our mattress I relocated the gas strut mounting positions, both upper and lower, back 2". When I say back I mean toward the foot of the bed. This changes the geometry somewhat and does not allow the bed to be raised as high but with the additional thickness of the mattress touching the ceiling I didn't loose much travel. The bed now stays up with the original gas struts.i don't know if this will work in your application but it's a free mod before purchasing new struts.

12" full queen. Since the headboard slopes in I lost some walk-around room at the foot of the bed so I cut a new, longer piece of wood for the lid. We had a helluva time getting the new mattress in!
Our 2650 doesn't have the side cubbies so the new mattress doesn't block anything.Last edited by jmbopp; 08-30-2022 at 07:28 AM.
