In need of comfy bed

[bhop56]

We are just getting ready to embark on full time living in our brand new Grand Design Reflection 5th wheel. We purchased a memory foam topper for our bed. We did this in our previous travel trailer and it made the bed very comfy. This time it has not done the trick. The topper is 4". Was thinking of adding another topper.

Has anybody done this or have any suggestions?

Day 1 I tossed the "Lion" brand mattress in our 2020 Sol 310GK. Fred Flintstone could not have slept on it. Bought 3-4" memory foam pad( Wall Mart) , added egg crate, a soft thin pad on that. Well Ahh...DW and I love it! Of course we fulltime and comfort is very important.

Recommend a new mattress. The factory can't satisfy everyone's mattress preferences so they just ut what I would cal a "temporary" mattress in our units. Try MattressInsider.com. They have what you need what ever it may be. They custom make to your preference for size and firmness in a variety of price points. Good luck.

FWIW, we've purchased mattresses for two different RVs from Mattress Insider in Colorado (mattressinsider.com). Both have been very comfortable and a VAST improvement over the original equipment mattresses. Both mattresses arrived in less than a week, prices seemed reasonable, and we found Mattress Insider easy to work with.

The factory mattress was a "no go." We went with the Brooklyn Chill memory foam model from Brooklyn Bedding. They offer different densities depending on the firmness you are looking for. Do your research - there are so many mattresses in a box to choose from in addition to many great coil spring models. Ours was $400 and they are typically "on sale."

One thing I forgot to add. Foam mattress in RV's can have a mold issue between the bottom of the mattress and the plywood platform. We went with a Hypervent Aire Flow moisture barrier from Mattress Insider. Its about $10 a foot and a queen will take 10'. We cut the barrier into 5' lengths, laid it side to side and taped it together. Works fine for us. Hope this helps.

We purchased a Sealy Cocoon mattress. It comes in a small but heavy box. Simply remove the plastic wrap & within an hour it’s fully opened. 8” thick. We purchased this for our last fifth wheel & moved it into our 345 when we picked up the Grand Design. We have had it 2 years & love it. We converted our king bed to a queen in the Select Suites & found it was easy to change our 345 to a queen.

Our 2021 303 came with a memory foam mattress. Very comfortable

We were concerned about that too.... we are going to replace the sleeper sofa (which is terribly heavy!) with a normal sofa. This should make weight room for a normal mattress.
We aren't inclined to invite sleepovers.... kids are old enough.. they can get a room nearby if they visit us.

SLEEP NUMBER for 25 years. I have a back injury and I won't sleep on anything else. Adjust each side to your individual likes. Lighter than just about anything out there. You won't regret it. Just my $2.50 worth (inflation).

We just bought a Casper Element mattress for $521 Black Friday sale. I never slept on the stock mattress, didn't need to know that it would not work for me, Felt like laying on a stack of plywood with cardboard bundled topper...No Bueno.

We bought a Casper bed in a box from Costco and LOVE IT! It’s higher than the uncomfortable original mattress, but doesn’t cause a problem.

We bought a Select Comfort C4 queen. I think we found our mattress for the new stix-n-brix when we stop full-timing!
