New Mattress for murphy bed

We just replaced ours in our 17 MKE with the 8" Touchta and are very happy. It was a bit pricey ($960), but well worth it. We had them build an 8 x 60 x 78 Utopia Mattress with a hinge: Hinged 29" from the head (49" from the foot) these are the custom hinge measurements for the 17 MKE.

Customer service was excellent. I told them I was in a time crunch and they built and delivered the custom mattress in less than 2 weeks!

I think the 8" is the max I'd go, the 10" is 4" thicker than the 8"when folded and the access to the bed side little storage areas will be affected also, and heaver to lift.

We had a 10" unhinged short-queen from our previous trailer. It's a heavy sucker being 100% dense foam so we added a second lock to the bed. I think when we store it in the winter (cause I live in Canada :) ) we will have the bed down to relieve any strain on the frame. I'm also going to look for some of those extender pillows to stuff in the headboard to bring it out a few more inches. They will have to be removed each time we fold up the bed but that's okay. No issues accessing the cubbies on each side of the bed but most definitely heavier and slightly harder to get into.
 
Thank you for the information. We also have a 17 MKE that needs a better Murphy bed mattress. I found a company called Tochta that does custom hinged mattresses. Just wondering if anyone has had experience with them. You can select the various depths, and I was wondering about weight for the single mechanism that holds the bed in the up position. Thanks in advance for any advice.
I got an 8” tocha it’s great.
 
We need to replace the mattress on a new 22bhe Murphy bed. Out sounds like an 8" without hinges should fit?
