The original mattress in our Reflection 337 RLS has lost it's battle with my fat body and we need a replacement. We have looked at all of the online companies and a couple of the big ones are just a phone number and another isnt in the state that advertise but are in Florida. Also, I like to lay on a mattress before I buy one and this is another reason why I dont buy clothes online. We love our mattress at home but it is very heavy and anymore we are very weight conscious with the rig. It was suggested to me that the Solitudes have a little better mattress then a Reflection and we would only have to go to a dealer and try out Solitude mattresses and I had to agree that this might be an option.
Any suggestions?
Have you considered or tried a foam topper for your existing mattress? Our Reflection 295RL's OEM mattress was very uncomfortable too. When we did our research, we decided to first try to mimic (as close as possible) what we currently used without changing the overall characteristics of the existing mattress.
We ended up purchasing a foam 3" topper and it made a pretty big difference, enough that we have ended up keeping the original mattres and now feel good sleeping on it since 2019 (new).
BTW, my wife is much more the soft style sleeper, while I like a harder style sleep. The topper was able to satisfy both of us. Also, we were able to find a foam topper that did not make us feel hot at night. Plus, because we bought on Amazon, if we ended up not liking it, could return it free.
It didnt add that much more extra weight (maybe 10lbs?), reasonable priced, and didnt change the characteristics (length, width) for under the header cabinet distance and being able to use the existing lift feature of the under bed storage to the point where either one of us could still open it.
Note: as stated in a prior post... any RV mattress (or for that matter a different than already used as a primary sleeper - like a hotel or even new mattress sometimes) will take some getting used to. From our experience with this setup, which could be one week to maybe a month at a time camping, doesnt seem to effect our sleep transition from our primary sleeper. BTW, our primary sleeper is a 15" medium firm Beautyrest pillow top.
