Ready to upgrade our mattress. Our TT has a full size (60x80) queen mattress but it is super soft. We have lots of extra payload capacity in both the trailer and our TV so weight is not a major concern. However the mattress sits right at the front of the trailer so it will add more hitch weight and I’ll need to take that into account when I pack.I have read all kinds of articles about mattresses and compared to a house mattress it seems these are the major considerations.1. Weight (not a concern)2. Flexibility - make sure it fits in the doorway and can get into the bedroom. Does this rule out an inner spring mattress?3. Moisture - some mattresses don’t handle the wide swings in moisture found in an RV.The one thing we need is a mattress on the firm side, and preferably one that the whole thing doesn’t move when one person rolls over. We aren’t big people but we’re used to a king size mattress at home so it’s been poor quality sleeping on this super soft, flimsy, tiny queen mattress that jiggles whenever anyone so much as breathes.Thanks for any tips.

I bought a Zunius 10" interspring. It had 3" of memory foam. It's at Amazon.com

We put the same one in our trailer we have at home. Cant talk to the moisture question, very dry here in our part of the west.

We have a Sleep Number bed at our Sticks n Bricks. The wife complained about the bed in the TT camper. So I waited for a sale and got one, a C 2 (cheapest one) for $700. I put the control box in the back oh the wardrobe (didn't use the space way back there any way).Never been happier I'm a 35 DW is a 90!

Sorry, I've never heard of anyone worrying about moisture or weight when selecting a mattress for RV use, I'd bet the manufacturers don't either, and I know I sure wouldn't. ;)

I would definitely recommend trying one out before just buying one blindly from an online retailer. We bought one from Amazon for our last trailer and it was better than the stock mattress but definitely not one we’d buy again. This time we tried several out and ended up at a Box Drop which has a limited supply but found one we liked for about the same cost as Amazon but we could try it first.

DItto on all the above.

Instead of replacing our new OE hard mattress, we added a 3 inch thick memory foam topper. Good support and no shaking when we turn over.

I do not know if you have one there but we went to "the original mattress factory". you can try displays and they custom make to whatever size. They can also Put a hinge in the middle. you cannot feel the hinge. We love ours. We have a sleep number at home but this one is comfortable.

Go to a mattress store and look around. Try them out 1st. Just like clothes. Everyone's different.

We love memory foam. We have a nice foam mattress at home and an affordably priced one in the camper. Costco has a good return policy, so you can return the mattress if you don't like it. I don't find that laying on a mattress in a store is truly representative of how you'll feel after sleeping on a mattress. I have a pinched nerve in my back. While I can lay comfortably for a little while on just about anything, sleeping for 8 hours on a poorly supportive mattress will ruin my day.

Yep, this is what we did, too. Been fine for 2 years, now.

Was just at the Original Mattress Factory this morning. Looked like very good quality with options on the degree of firmness. They will make a short Queen in all but their foam products. The prices also seemed good.
