Using a memory foam mattress on Murphy bed?
We are looking at downsizing our 22RBE to a 17MKE. The stock Murphy bed mattress will NOT work for us. We replaced the stock mattress in our 22RBE with an 8" memory foam queen. Very comfortable.
Could I use a regular memory foam mattress in the murphy bed or would I need to purchase a foldable Murphy bed mattress?
I know we could always use a topper if needed but those are always sliding around on the bed.
ThanksFrank & Nadine

Very few foam mattresses are 100% memory foam - they are usually sandwiches of different foams to provide combinations of support and comfort. That said, many foam mattresses come compressed in a box (ours did) and expand to their full size when the vacuum wrapper is removed. I would think this type of mattress would be well suited to a Murphy bed (though they can be heavy).

Finally got the MKE and got rid of the standard mattress after the first night.
We got a Sleepy's Snug 8" RV Queen memory foam from Mattress Firm. Doesn't have any fiberglass in it like alot of foam mattresses do.
On sale on their website now for President's day.
Very comfortable and fits perfect in the bed. It's a little heavier but lifts and bends easily.
I think the residential queen size would fit fine and not stick out any further than the edge of the folded down couch.Frank & Nadine

Interesting comments. We got a brand new 2023 Grand Design Imagine XLS 17MKE, and we love it, mostly. BUT, the mattress that GD uses for the Murphy bed is very poor, and we are looking to replace it. I see that some of you seem to be using a non-foldable short queen magic foam mattress, which surprises me, especially since your mattress is an 8 inch. Is that working OK for you? I was concerned that the folding point of the foam might damage the foam or create a low spot in it. So is folding up the bed not harming the magic foam? That is my concern. I see that Camping World also offers a folding type mattress for the Murphy beds, so we have been looking at that one as well. So what are the reports?
