Mattress Size & Thickness Recommendations (Bigfoot 2500)

The Mrs and I are looking at changing out our current mattress that came stock with the camper. We are planning on doing a memory foam mattress but I don't have the camper available to measure the size and thickness. If you have gone down this path before and happen to know off hand, I would appreciate it if you could post it here.

Second part... How did you get the old mattress out the door?

  • I traded mine out for a Sleep Number bed just like the one in our house.
  • I went to a foam distributor who also makes mattress and spec the size, thickness and firmness of the foam. Remember to factor in the thickness of the mattress cover to come up with total overall mattress thickness. I was surprised at the price, much lower than I expected.
  • They are queen size or 60 x 72 in both on my campers, but I would advise to measure it as who knows what manufacturer did on the camper.
    I had 1 memory foam topper simply deteriorate in about 3 years, so better buy with long warranty.
    To get mattress out the cabover, I used 2 ratchet straps to bend it about 150 degrees in the center and that pulled it out the passage.
    Once you have it standing on its side on the floor, you can slide it via door.
