RV Mattress

[shadow65]

Looking to buy a new Queen mattress for the motorhome. Any recommendations or mattresses that you would not buy?

When we ordered our Wildcat DW wanted the upgrade to a Trump Serta mattress. I thought it was too pricy an option but She who must be obeyed won the argument. 1st night I told her I was "gulp" wrong. More comfortable a mattress than our stick n bricks which was $400. more.

sleep number is not cheap but I wouldn't have anything else. Won't regret it.

I am considering a special order. but will likely wind up at Camping World.

Sleep number is very interesting... but the price is not.

NOT cheap but we are on the same mattress for over 15 years. Best night sleep!

First trip out in our new TT nearly a dozen years ago and our backs were pretty sore after a few days, having a regular size queen all it took was going to a local mattress store to get what felt best. Currently looking for a new TT or 5er and have seen plenty that will accommodate regular size queen and even king mattresses, although many RVs state they have an upgraded residential style mattress I can see they are still just cheap mattresses that will have to be replaced immediately if we want any chance of getting any restorative rest through the night.

What thickness is recommended for the Zinus mattress?

Mine's an 8" but I have a 2" foam topper thrown on that. So I recommend 10" 😉 I'd like it even thicker but my bed has the underbed storage and that adds to the lift weight ;(

King SleepNumber from home when going full-time in 2011. Would NEVER own anything else! Originally purchased to pacify Wife but I soon became a believer.

We put a 3” foam topper from Costco on our original matress and feels like new and very much more comfortable.

Tuft & Needle google it buy direct or through Amazon. Firm but soft we had one in our former 5er and after the first night in our present one the wife ordered a replacement for the sad excuse for one that came with the new 5er.

Overstock dot com carries some queen mattresses for RV's. I bought one and it worked great on my 70 yr. old back

We have a couple local places that make the mattress on site. We had a queen mattress that we were not completely happy with in the house. We bought a new one for the house, and the mattress store cut down the old one for $100.

We wouldn't buy a mattress that has memory foam as a top layer but that is a personal preference. We did buy a Lucid latex 12" hybrid (steel springs and foam) mattress from Amazon. It was delivered rolled up in a box and was easy to drag through the trailer. Our 31 ft. fifth wheel has a full 60" x 80" queen. We have about fifteen nights on it and find we like it a lot.

Amazon seems to have mattress shopping dialed in a little. Most of the mattresses show a foam type profile and a firmness rating. There are also a number of good Youtube videos. I cross shopped at mattress stores and it became obvious to me their hybrid mattresses were made in the same factories as the online ones, except twice the cost.

I heartily second this suggestion.
They have them in regular sizes and the RV/ Short Queen I needed in my TT.
My Short Queen was right at $200 shipped.

Another Zinus fan. Short queen for us as well, different thicknesses are available from, I think, 8 to 12 inches. Right around $200 or so.
