Mattresses
I'd just like to state the obvious: Factory RV mattresses are really, really, bad.

I certainly agree on disliking memory foam mattresses. There is nothing worse than the expensive TempurPedic brand which many stores feature because of the high cost and profits. The old fashioned memory foam like the TempurPedic has poor support. After a few minutes your body sinks into the mattress and creates a deep impression. I sleep on my side and move a few times during the night. That is nearly impossible if you sink into a hole. The TP mattress is also hot and does not breathe.
That said I still love my foam mattresses. They are made with a relatively thick and firm base layer and a thinner upper layer of softer foam. They are also made of newer style foams that are not hot and breathe. I will never buy another mattress with springs or a mattress sitting on a spring base. Quality models start out Ok but all of them sag within the first year or two of use. They all have foam toppers so again the comfort depends on the choice of foam materials.
