Queen Mattress

We feel we need a new mattress and thought I would ask for info here.
This going into a mattress store is a "wonderful" experience.

We want a queen size, 10 inch mattress and not spend a fortune as we do not full time.

We have the forerunner of Sleep Number at home and it has held up great for nearly 20 years.

Been told that memory foam is a "warm" sleep and don't want / need that.

Open to all suggestions and comments - will appreciate them all.

Thanks.

    Love my memory foam and do not find it a warm sleep at all.
  • Memory foam USED to be a warm sleep - nice in the winter. But today's memory foam has cool gel layers so the heat doesn't build up like it did in the old ones. We have a 3" one on the rv mattress and it's very comfortable. If you decide to try one, quality is important. The topper should be heavy if it's a good one. We had our first one for 20 yrs, now the current one for 2 yrs. Spent less than $100 on the one we have now as we got it on sale.
  • We simply bought the exact same mattress we have at home. In fact we bought them the same day.
  • Our memory foam mattress at home was close to 7 yrs old. We decided to upgrade our mattress at home, and use the old one in the RV.

    BTW. The old one is a "bed in a box" mattress. Might not be the highest quality, but is quite comfortable.

    When we were looking, we noticed the RV mattresses were more $ then the standard length. That's one reason we decided to upgrade the home mattress. I used a electric knife to trim the old mattress to RV length.
  • Years ago I replaced the mattress in our 2000 Hurricane and bought a "bed in a box" off the Internet. Comes in a box and it unrolls itself ( extremely quickly ). It was actually the best sleeping bed we had. great return policy.
