Mattress Selection

It is way past time to purchase a new mattress for our Class A RV. We need a King Size mattress. Camping World has a few choices:

Denver Mattress Eurotop
Avena Foam RV Mattress
Air Beds by Select Comfort
Sleep Number RV Premier Bed

Please share any information / opinions you may have on any of these beds. We prefer a firm mattress (not rock hard) - just firm.

Thanks.

    Yes a mattress is a mattress, unless it is an RV Queen.


    You mean a short queen? I had one of them and a standard queen fit in my mattress hole just fine. My RV mattress was junk so we went down to the local store and picked up a very nice queen mattress and like another post I sleep just as good in the trailer as I do at home.

  • If you like the mattress in your home, buy one like it for the RV. I did that and sometimes when I wake up I have to think about where I am, at home or in the RV.

  • I hear ya! We have a 2007 Winnebago Sightseer 35J. We went with the Costco memory foam topper, which made it seem better but in all reality it still sucks.

    With the slide coming in against the mattress I've been aware I need to watch the length of the mattress. If you got with a more traditional mattress get your measurements, you might need to go with a RV mattress which tend to be shorter.

    We have a SleepNumber at home, good bed but really don't want to put that kind of money into the RV mattress.

    After reading a lot of very positive reviews and talking to owners we've narrows down to the Wal-Mart Spa Sensations Memory Foam Mattress, I need to verify the 76" x 80" but appears to be the right balance of features & cost. Might want to check them out; different sizes range from 6, 8, 10 or 12" height.
  • Go directly to the maker, i.e. Denver mattress or Sleep number you will probably get it cheaper
  • I have been looking at these for the house

    I like the warranty with FREE shipping both ways if you return for a harder or softer plus you can use it for 120 days. Check the reviews. My get one this winter when we are home more to use the 120 days.
    We have one from costco in the MH little hard for the wife but I'm ok
