Bed in a Box Mattress Advice

Hey All - Picking up our new 5'er in a few weeks, and already know we will have to replace the lumpy token mattress. Has anyone tried the "Bed in a Box"? Pretty compulsive ads on their website with lots of testimonials. However, I am more comfortable with reviews that are not provided via a sellers website. Anyone with first hand experience with this product, please let us know your thoughts. Thanks!

    When we purchased our new-to-us 5'er last year, we ordered the mattress the same evening we put money down on it at the dealership.

    We spent 107 nights in it last year and it still sleeps as well as our Tempurpedic we have at our house.

    Spa Sensations Gel Memory Foam, queen 8" is what we got from Walmart. It has excellent reviews.

    NOTE ON EDIT: DH is a large man, excess of 275# and over 6'.
  • We bought Bed in a Box at the recommendation of this forum and we love it!! No more hip pain! We bought the Original PacBed RV Queen. We bought the 11" thick mattress because it said it was more firm. And we added the gel which makes it cooler. So glad we did. It comes delivered in a box, weighs about 70 pounds. We removed the old mattress (the most difficult part) brought the box in, put the box on the platform, Opened the box. Next step is to CAREFULLY removed the shrink wrap without cutting the mattress!! I would not use a box cutter. We used scissors. There is a video showing how to properly do this. Voila! instant bed. Great warranty. We wish we had bought this mattress sooner! Search on this forum for bedinabox and you should see more reviews. That's how we found out about it.
  • Was gonna say, I saw them at Sams Club the other day. Buy it there and try it out, if it don't seem to be what you want then return it. You may have trouble getting it back in the box though lol lol lol.......
