Mattress sucks

[tomman58]

We have a 2012 Jayco 322FKS with the DELUXE pillow top mattress that is just terrible to sleep on for any length of time (like weeks or months).

We are wondering if anyone has found the perfect mattress. We hate foam because is doesn't breath and is hot in the summer, number bed has never worked for us either. At home we do a king size Stearns and Foster about 18" thick but I don't see us doing that here.

I've has issues with my back and shoulders on the Jayco surely there has to be something better out there that can be made to rv lengths. Our bed in our unit is a king.
TIA
Tom

I posted a similar question not too long ago, with quite a few options.

Thanks for posting this. Our mattress is kinda fonkey and 8 years old. I'm so glad to know we can just buy a normal bed mattress and not have to order a special tt mattress. We sleep on a memory foam at home that weighs a ton, like someone else posted. I figure we can go kinda cheap on a new mattress for the tt, but not uncomfortable.So far for this year there are about 14 nights planned in it.

How much does the Bed in a Box type mentioned cost? Thanks

$699.00 for an RV queen size, right now. Shipping is free.

The very first mod on our current rig was a new mattress after spending an uncomfortable weekend during our maiden voyage. Had one built to our specs by a local mattress factory and now we sleep well. I've heard good things about the bed on CW website that arrives in a box and expands to proper dimensions in about a day or so. There are some very nice gel foam toppers available that greatly reduce issues with pressure points and provide a cool sleeping experience.

$699.99 (free shipping, no tax except for tenn)

This is the way I'm going for certain! If I'm not happy after 60 days, I can return it. Seems like a real stand up company!

Bed in a Box. www.bedinabox.com PacBed Original RV Queen. Get the 11" deep one for more firmness and get the gel for coolness. Love it!! Ships in a box, weighs about 70 pounds. Remove the old mattress, bring in the box, open the box, remove the shrink wrap and voila! instant mattress. Great warranty.

Thanks! This is exactly what I was wanting to hear!

USA made w/ a 20 year guarantee too!

If we were replacing the mattress, we would do so with the same kind of mattress as we sleep at home. Our mattress in our FW is not the most comfortable but since we only vacation and do not live in it, we opted to add a 4" memory foam topper to it instead of replacing. I am hot natured but don't get any hotter sleeping on the memory foam. They make different ones. Some of them are cooler than others. Ours has a pad between the case and the memory foam. It makes a huge difference.

Does anyone know anything about these types of mattresses? They're rolled up tight and take a couple of days to fill out.

Here is one I'm looking at for the RV:

Queen Sized Mattress

I bought a Beauty Rest "Hotel Series" made to the trailer queen length. It is nicer that the one I use at home. The Beauty Rest is all in one style of mattress.

I've posted this suggestion before ... why not get a new mattress for your camper that's identical to the one in your house?

That would not work for me if I had a problem with the mattress in my RV, since I have a Queen-sized Tempurpedic adjustable bed at home. The Tempurpedic mattress alone would exceed my CCC as it weighs 10 tons.

I however agree with the other posts which that the mattress be replaced with one that is known to work in a regular bed. As one with a bad back also, l have found that a firm mattress with a cool 1-1/2" memory foam topper works like a charm. Luckily the Serta that came with the RV was acceptable for us.
