Queen Mattress

[Lauren]

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.

Go to your local library and ask for the most recent Consumer Reports magazine where they rate mattresses. You can read it on site or copy the article and tables to take with you.

Lauren, we went to Sams club and tried a nice Sealy Posterpedic for about $325.00. rolled it up,tied it tight and into the rear bedroom it went directly on top of the so called mattress that came with our coach. We put a queen size electric heated mattress pad on it for cold nights also at Sams about $70.00.Shop the club stores as some have the mattresses on display to try out. good luck. OLICAN

Second the recommendation of Amazon. We spent around $200 on a memory foam queen and it's been great. I can't say whether it would hold up in a home for every night use, but in the camper it's awesome and very comfortable.

Mattress stores are horrible in terms of markups. There's one on every corner because of the profit margins involved, although I think people are figuring that out and those days will come to an end soon.

you are almost always better off purchasing a mattress from a small local manufacturer directly than ordering a "brand name" mattress. Just google "mattress manufacturers your area" and you should find some easily. You can usually find one to order exactly what you want and for a lot less. Also look at www.thematressunderground.com for reviews companies and different kinds. I discovered this nifty little trick because we have an antique bed with an odd size. I would never buy a mattress from a big retailer again.

We bought a small queen mattress from Camping World. It was about $350 and is extremely comfortable.

We have a 5" queen from Foam Factory which used to be bed in a box. Available in various firmness.

We bought one at a local RV furniture dealer. I can't find the receipt. It was around $200-$250. I'm 100% sure it was made in USA, mostly sure in TX. I think from Corsicana Mattress. The price was very reasonable and it's tons more comfortable than the original ever was.

Try Casper foam mattress: https://casper.com/

We bought a king a couple years ago. Love it. Had a Temperpedic before, hated it. The Casper has a layer of memory foam below the top foam layer and because of that (I guess) it does not sleep warm like our other one. My Mom, daughter and 3 of our friends have purchased and all love it.

The queen is $950 shipped directly to you. You have 100 days to try it. If you don't like it, they will pick it up.

Stay away from mattress stores - 200 - 400% markups are not uncommon. As mentioned, Amazon and the big box stores are your friends.

As for memory foam being warm, that may be true for a 100% memory foam mattress, but very few are made that way any more (Tempurpedic and a couple of others, maybe). We have a 10" full queen triple foam mattress we love. The bottom layer is memory foam (most of the thickness), then there are a couple of inches of support foam, topped by 1/2" (I think) of cool-gel foam. It's very comfy in both hot and cold weather and is GREAT for my bad back. Oh... and we paid less than $500 for it. Our son has had a similar experience with a similar mattress he purchased at Costco.

Amazon is your friend

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.
