Looking to change the mattress

So I see on the CW site they sell both the King Sleep Number and Radius King Sleep number, so I guess I can just go with a direct replacement of what I have. I like the idea of the dealer installing the receptacle under the bed to hide the pump. Who did yours? CW?

Yes, Camping World - Fayetteville

Wow, there appears to be 4 series available from sleep number and 2 from CW but they don't match up. CW sells the deluxe & premier, do you think that is the same as the classic & performance that you buy for the house?

I do not think so, if you go to the Sleepnumber.com website and go to the link on the right for specialty mattresses, you will see the rv mattresses listed that Camping World carries. You can check the specifications against the main four series, but I don't think they are comparable with regards to the thickness and the foam layers.

My '14 3150RL has a 120vac plug in the side wall of the bed frame. We plug in the space heater there.

At home, the DW has a extra foam thing on the bed. I kinda like the 5" thick stock king mattress. I can turn over at night with out having to dig myself out of the foam.

From what I understand the difference with the s & b Sleep Number and the RV is that the RV model has a different fire rating.

Oops...hit the button twice..

We have a Sleep number at home and a king deluxe sleep number in the Monty. Only way to fly. Yes it gives you the same amount of comfort. We have our brand new mattress in the garage sealed in plastic that came with the Monty for the next upgrade so we can hang on to the Sleep Number. :-)

Our new 37&1/4 came with a poor king size mattress. We are thinking about getting a sleep number mattress like the one we have in the stick house but ours in the house is a different size and does not have radius corners the question I have is it a must for the radius corners. I see camping world sells the size needed for the 5'er both ways square and rounded. And is the one camping world sells as good as the one we bought for the stick house.

Tim, our 37 1/4 also came with the crappy mattress. We are going to replace ours with a memoryfoam one. We have the Temper-Pedic at home, and absolutely LOVE it. As the joints get old and stiff, it makes a HUGE difference. With that in mind, there is local company here that makes and sells memory foam RV mattresses and ships anywhere. Or you can pick it up in Tualatin, OR. It is called Excel Distributors and you can see it at www.exceldistributors.com They are a sister company to ParkLane mattress company, and are a family owned company since the 30's I think. Our neighbor bought one for their RV, and they LOVE it.

takpak I took a look and see they don't offer a king size so that won't work for us maybe I can stop by there and take a look in person in the next week or so I will be headed that way goose hunting very soon thanks for the input .

Tim, when I checked the Excel site, they had four different types of mattresses listed, and three of them were offered in king sizes, both the RV size and standard size. Let me know if you still can't find it!

On checking again, we're looking at either the "Boondocker" or the "Rally", both of which come in all sizes. Depends on weather you want 8 inches thick foam or 10 inches. There is one really high end one with 12 inches, but we don't go out THAT much......!!!

The king size bed that came with our Montana was terrible to sleep on. We went to Costco and purchased a 4" gel topper that overlaps the sides an inch on each side but sleeps great!
The only problem is it is cold when you first crawl into bed. We fixed that by purchasing a heated mattress pad. It's a quick and cheap fix for a bad mattress. So far, the mattress is the only thing we haven't liked about our new Montana.

After the first night on the Monty mattress we had to ditch it. Lazydays had a foam mattress, it is 10" thick and does not have the round radius corners. We don't use the mattress cover that came with ours. We purchased a new comforter to help lighten up the bedroom. The non-radius corner is fine, don't see any issues even with the slide in.

Scott, you and I have the same model and year Monty. From what I can see, they didn't need to pick a radius corner mattress. I can see they cut the corner out of the support platform, but I don't see how that would hurt if I chose a 72" x 80" King mattress.

Jim, this is just a FYI but I'll throw a different idea out there that we did back in '08 with our SOB. It had a terrible king mattress (72 x 80) and we found a mattress factory that sold to the public. They only made-to-order so you went in, picked your mattress type (firmness, cover etc. etc.), then the standard king size was 74 x 80 and they charged us an extra $100 to custom cut a 72 x 80. Ten days later we picked it up and we truly love it. When we bought our new Monty this past August we moved our custom mattress to the Monty, love it, love it (the new Monty and custom mattress). It just happened to be about half of what I see the Sleep Number costs and it happens to be the same mattress we have in our S&B, so we don't even notice a difference when we're camping! Just a different solution FWIW.

Thanks for all the great help gives us many options to look at all good I might add we will be changing this mattress before we go out again that's for sure I only wish I would have thought to have cw change it out before I picked this new critter up. Oh we'll live and learn.

[scott-pati]

Jim, I don't see a problem either. Just don't sit on the very edge to put your shoes on. LOL

Lazy Days were the only ones that had the king size in stock and was only $450. We had a Eurotop queen size in our just sold 2004 Monty that we bought from CW. It was good, but this foam one is even better. It was one of those deals just before we signed the agreement to have them throw in a new mattress to seal the deal. Works every time. LOL
