RandV Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 After two years of barely acceptable comfort, we decided we had to replace or improve the original mattress in our TT. Before our four month trip last year we added a 2" foam topper which was an improvement, but not much of one. Our TT has a Murphy Bed (which we love). Some toppers were quite heavy, and I was afraid that when the bed was up (vertical) the pad would slide down, especially as we drove for hours. So I found a lightweight one. BTW, it would slide down a little occasionally, but it wasn't a problem. At the time I also shopped for a new mattress. Again, some were very heavy, and I didn't find a lightweight option that seemed good. One seemed okay, but when I spoke to the maker they said they did not recommend any of their mattresses for use on a murphy bed. Has anyone had any experience with mattress replacement for a murphy bed? Or with a good topper? It's a short queen, which limits choices somewhat. We're leaving on another four month trip soon, so I've got to do something about this. Conventional or foam okay, but price is an issue - just can't go over $500, less is even better. I know that's not much, but I was surprised at how many inexpensive well-reviewed mattresses I found. Height isn't really an issue, there's about 11" available, but weight is. I want to add as little as possible. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twotoes Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 Check out Mattressinsider.com. I got ride of my sleep number and got a memory foam from them for $550. It is very light. They will even make a custom one for you in size and number of layers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mattress is also very flexible and difficult to move so I suspect that it would tend to end in a pile at the bottom when the bed is in travel position.

Sehc Posted June 6, 2020 Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 Invent some way to anchor the mattress at the "top" when closed. Then it hangs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We purchased a latex foam mattress from them ~6 months ago and are very satisfied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
