Are RV-specific mattress lighter than regular mattresses?
Ideas?

Carolyn
Yes, the RV mattresses are not normally very high quality and would be lighter. Regular residential mattresses are usually much thicker and would have a much higher coil count and therefore be heavier but much more comfortable. I agree that comfort for me would outweigh the inconvenience of having to hold up the mattress. The dowel/rod idea is a good one, as is larger struts.
