Looking for information on RV foam mattress toppers. Do they need adjusted or re positioned every couple of days. Do the straps that hold the topper to the mattress keep it in place. Do you have the 2", 3", or 4" thickness. In your opinion do they work or are worthless and not worth the money. I have the RV King mattress. I think they are an inch or 2 different than a standard King mattress.Thoughts???

Hi there—we have used a 2” gel-infused mattress topper from WalMart and are very pleased. We put the foam topper under a mattress cover and used elastic straps to hold the cover tight. Topper doesn’t move much and it has made all the difference in the comfort level.

Mattress toppers work just the same in an RV as they do at home. They come in a wide variety of thicknesses, firmness and quality. Different people have different preferences. Personally I would not spend a lot of money on one or expect miracles. If the RV mattress is poor quality and is not comfortable you might want to consider a replacement instead of a topper.

I agree with chast. And per JimK, they've made our home mattress more comfortable as well as our RV. The few inches different in mattress size hasn't been an issue for us.

We also put a 2" foam mattress topper on ours. And a mattress cover over that holds it in place with no problem. And made our OEM mattress much more comfortable.As far as repositioned or adjusted I suppose it might depend on how much you use it. A full timer or long timer might need to rotate or flip it periodically. But we have used ours as long as 3 weeks at a time and never changed any thing about it.

Standard RV mattresses are not very good and lumpy. I added a dense 2 inch foam mattress topper. It may have gel in it. It changed everything. I slept in the trailer last night because it is really comfortable.
