We’ve asked this question in the past, and many of you commented that your RV beds were so uncomfortable that you ended up buying a new mattress to replace the one it came with. We’re curious to know how many of you did that, and where your mattress comfort stands now…
So, how comfortable is the bed in your RV? If it’s uncomfortable, do you have any plans to replace it? If you answer that it is comfortable, is that just because you already replaced it with a new mattress or the one that came with your RV is comfortable?
Please leave a comment and answer any of the above questions. Perhaps you’ll have some advice that will help others with their uncomfortable mattress woes!
We replaced ours with one from IKEA! This is our second Travel Trailer and we replace our first Travel Trailers mattress with one from IKEA as well…
Great mattress at a great price!
We have a Sleep Number mattress & LOVE it!
Replaced ours after 7 months with one from Wilderness RV Matress Company. We love it!
Mine is very comfortable since I threw out the one that came with the trailer and got a Sealy.
Select Comfort King came with our RV. We’ve had one in our home for 27 years.
A 3″ memory foam topper made our factory mattress dreamy. We like it better than our Tempurpedic at home.
Select Number full queen is our choice. Have had them in our last three RVs. Light to lift and so so comfortable.
Can you do a poll on how many people replaced their beds to get to the very comfortable choice? That would be interesting as well or what kind of mattress they use.
If I completely set up my bed and cover it with a futon mattress, it’s pretty comfy.
I bought a year-old “used” trailer that still had original plastic on the queen mattress. I immediately donated it to the Salvation Army and replaced it with a high-quality firm mattress.
We replaced our mattress with a Zinus from Amazon. It is the 8 inch foam short queen. In my opinion it is just as comfy as my Tempurpedic at home. And at 180 bucks I can afford to replace every few yrs if needed.
My mattress is comfy because I have a 4 inch topper! Otherwise, no.
We bought the foam mattress rolled up in a box from Costco. Its soooo comfortable. The original was thin and out dated.
We replaced our rv mattress with air mattress and now sleep well.
‘Very Comfortable’ responses are surely only from those of us who replaced or significantly modified the standard rig mattress. It’s apparent the manufacturers use the thinnest, lightest, cheapest choice they can find.
Put a sleep number queen in our RV…love it!!
Put a 3inch gel foam topper on it right after getting it and it’s not bad. Think it’s more the strange feeling sleeping in the camper than it is the discomfort of the bed
After adding 3 layers of foam under, and a foam over cover, it is “not bad”,
– Still nothing like home.
Our problem is ours is a mini king. Bit narrower and hard to find. Anyone have a mattress they like and comes in that size?
Barb, look at MattressInsider.com They have a large selection of RV sizes. I called with questions as I wasn’t sure which mattress would be best for us & was very happy with my purchase.
I’m not familiar with that size but we had our short queen made from our local custom mattress guy. It is the best. Everyone who sleeps in it says it’s so comfortable. It is also a spring not foam mattress as that’s what we like. Was very affordable and he had several styles of mattresses and levels to pick from. Foam, spring , bottom line to top line organic. Hope this helps. Good luck! We looked for quite a while until we figured it out. Sometimes you may have to go to a big city to find someone who does custom mattresses. Ours is over 100,000 population.
Our foam started dipping within months. They replaced with a new one, more firm. Maybe too firm. The solution for us was a topper. Comfortable now.
