Replacement Mattress

[TigerL]

I am looking to replace our full size mattress in our tt. Thinking about a topper instead . Does anyone have an opinion??

I wouldn't bother with a topper unless your budget is really restricted. If a standard size mattress (whether full or queen) will fit on your bed frame, than just buy a new mattress. We ended up doing that in our previous trailer, and with our new Winnebago, we just donated the stock mattress to the Salvation Army and purchased a new mattress at Sam's Club, where you can get a really nice mattress for around $500-$600. Because the bed frame in our Winnebago butts right up to the entertainment center wall, we replaced the short queen with a full size mattress. If you have the room for a full size queen (longer than a short queen), it just depends on whether your bed platform will support it, or whether you can do a modification to support a queen mattress.

Otherwise, many mattress stores can order a short queen mattress for you. It seems that it easier to do than it used to be, and prices have gone down.

Walmart memory foam $280. We like it. Online ship to store.

We've replaced the mattress in all three of our TT's. We get the same mattress we use in the house on our master bed. If it works at home, it works just as nice in the camper. Always have a good night sleep now, everywhere!

We did not opt for memory foam as it gets cold and stays that way. We bought a 5" foam from http://www.thefoamfactory.com/mattress/mattress.html and are happy with it for not much $

X2. An option to Sleep Number is Comfortaire. Less advertising, slightly lower price, older company and better reviews.

We picked up a nice queen for $250 at ikea. Same price as a good toper. Topers are good when you already have a regular a mattress. The new mattress is by far the best upgrade we've done to the travel trailer.

My opinion is to buy what you have in your house. That way your sleeping will be the same camping or at home.

We changed out our mattress recently and considered just a topper. We landed on this replacement mattress:

In our case, the original mattress was just not going to make a good foundation for a topper. YMMV. 🙂

I see you have been around for three uears but are still a new member. This has been discussed at great lengths. Consesus is, do what you want, but dont cheap out. If you plan to keep this trailer for a while, get a quality mattress from a reputable store. If you plan to trade within a uear or so and dont mind sleeping on a lump of coal, get a cheap topper. Personally i like a good nights sleep, so we bought quality, actually exactly the same as we had in the house. Now, other than size difference we sleep like we are at home. Oh wait we are at home!

We actually just crossed over from a Hybrid this season, in fact were jut picking up our new Bunkhouse next week. We had the same issue with our so called mattress in the Hybrid. We went out first and bought a cheap memory foam topper thinking that would help. WRONG, We went out 2 years ago and got a 4 inch good quality memory foam topper and it made all the difference in the world.

When we pickup our 26BH Gray Wolf next week the memory foam is going straight to the new camper. I will say that the mattress is better in the new one than our Hybrid but still needs extra help. I would try the topper before replacing the mattress for sure.
