My trailer can only fit a Short Queen size so I can't put a regular residential mattress in there and it limits my options. Not sure how you could say 12" of thickness won't do anything, why do they offer different thicknesses in mattresses then? Just for the fun? Good to know on the ventilation, will keep that in mind.

If you'll search the forum, you'll find dozens - if not hundreds - of threads on this topic. The advice to put the residential mattress of your choice in the camper is sound advice. With a residential mattress, 12" of thickness won't do anything except cause you possible clearance issues. Be aware, too, that foam mattresses require ventilation underneath to prevent mold - they can't just sit straight on a plywood platform. There are special substrates made for this purpose. We have a Tuft & Needle queen in the RV (we're full-timers) and it's the best mattress either of us has ever slept on... and we're old.
