Mattress question

Just purchased a new gel mattress for the TC. But will it freeze up if I leave in in there for the winter? There will be no heating in there. :h

  • Actually it is a latex mattress. I got it from Ikea, and it is 6" thick. I like it so far, but if you get one from Ikea that says medium firm, it's a little firmer than that. A little, not like sleeping on a board.

    Oh, and for your question, it would be good to mention your location. Here in California I would venture to guess that it would not freeze on how (do they even freeze?). Somewhere North in higher altitudes who knows.


    I received my Zinus Sleep Master Ultima Comfort Memory Foam 6 Inch Mattress, Queen on Aug 6, 2017. This is website

    I like it. So far it is very comfortable. I am 185 pounds. Check back with me in one year for an update. I live in my TC full time. Manual only tells how to take it out of the vacuum sealed bag: NO mention of cold weather.
