We just went from a king to a queen bed in our Monty, and surprise--the queen mattress is probably twice as heavy as the king mattress we removed. It now takes two people to lift the bed to access the storage underneath. The struts now won't hold up the mattress, either, so when I need to get something under the bed, Wayne has to hold the lifted mattress on his shoulder so that I can reach in and grab things. (
We have only the mattress, not the box springs.)
Has anyone else encountered this situation, and if so, what did you do about it? I won't go into the details of the "discussion"
we had about going from the king bed to a queen, but since I won, I feel like I need to find a solution to the problem. Obviously, getting another, lighter queen mattress will take care of things, and that's what we will probably have to do. I'm sure that will be a popular decision, too . . .
Are RV-specific mattress lighter than regular mattresses? I wish I knew how much the queen mattress we have weighs so that I had something to go by when looking for another mattress.
Ideas?
