Not a true King Size Bed
UPDATE!!
We found one on Wilderness Mattress that will fit perfectly. Thanks to everyone for their information!!
We hate this memory foam mattress, but measuring the mattress it is 77 x 73 which is neither a California King nor a regular King.
Any ideas where I can get a mattress to fit my space in the bedroom. The regular king would fit if the bedroom didn't have the slide at the head of the bed. Too narrow at the top.
I have the 2020 3931FB model.
Thanks!

When you go online type in the search for RV king size mattress this should bring up places to buy a new mattress

I have also been searching for a new mattress. I am wanting to reduce ours to a queen size for more room around the bedroom. I have found there is NO standard size for a "Camper King", or any mattress. I would recommend that you measure the size you have and get one manufactured to that size. Most larger towns/cities have a manufacturer that would accommodate custom sizes.

We have been using a 72W x 80L Sleep Number in all three of our units.
We went with the King Radius to clear the Vanity in our original Montana 2955RL and have stayed with it because it makes walking around the bottom corners easier.

King to Queen Size Mattress
I went from a RV king to a Casper queen size mattress in our 3812 MS. The headboard area was already the right sized base, because it was designed for a queen. I cut the rest of the support base to the same width as the headboard base if that makes any sense with a jig saw to minimize the amount of dust to clean up afterwards. The Casper fits great and gave us about 6 inches more room on each side. You can tell the king was an afterthought.

Between out Boat and RV's we have replaced 4 odd shape mattresses and frankly the prices they want for anything other than standard sizes is ridiculous.
So we made our own custom sizes and it is super easy and cheap to do.
Buy any memory foam mattress using an electric knife (like you use to carve Turkey) to cut the shape, the electric knife cuts the memory foam like butter so very easy to do. So simply open up the cover on the end of the mattress and pull the fabric back, use a sharpie to mark your cuts then cut on the marks using your electric knife. When done I use a fabric spray adhesive spray on the end and underside of the mattress to attached the fabric cover to the mattress (you can also sew the end of the fabric closed).
The other thing we do is buy a med to firm 8" mattress and then to determine how soft or form we put a 2-3" Gel Topper on as those sleep the coolest. Also every few years we replace the topper which gives us a refreshed bed (we do this at home also like getting a new bed every couple years for a fraction of the cost).
You can do this with any of the highly 5 rated Costco or Amazon $200(ish) mattress and $100 topper.
I also found that rounding the corners at the foot of the bed provides for better walking space around the bed...

On our 48' Boat the master state room was in the bow where the mattress was Pie/wedge shape. You can also take a King mattress and keep it king at the head (6') and narrow to queen (5') or less at the foot, something we are considering now. That gives you the shoulder space at the head where it is needed with still plenty of foot space. However that does require custom sheets (we found a work at home seamstress to make our sheets for under $100...
As mentioned above rounding the corners at the foot really helps also

Check with Denver Mattress if you have one near you. We got a great deal on a residential queen there and it fits perfectly.

King mattress topper
It’s sound like you are looking to buy a new mattress but have you thought about buying a topper for the mattress to make it more comfortable? We bought a 2019 3811 ms in August and the mattress was awful. We went to Walmart and bought a #4 Allswell mattress topper and trimmed it to fit. It makes the bed super comfortable and cheaper. Just an idea.
