RV Mattress Causing Hip Pain

[UTTransplant]

Just remember when adding toppers that some RVs have a mattress height and/or weight restriction. If we added 4” more to our mattress, the window edging thingies (I can’t remember the name!) would rub. I could cut them off, but that seems a bit of an overkill. The weight issue can be remedied with heavier gas struts unless yours has an electric motor. That would be a more expensive upgrade. Oh, and then there is the potential of your bed covering no longer covering the mattress. I just finished a quilt made for our motorhome with a maximum of 12” overhand. Spent well over 100 hours and lots of money on it, and I can’t accept a topper that would exceed my current mattress height. This is why we are looking for something that meets the criteria but isn’t 12-16” high like some of the options we have looked at.

We have the same issue... We also have these small shelves just below the side windows that act as night stands... They could be removed, but we do use them...

We are on our 2nd Wilderness mattress and love it. We fulltime and needed a comfy mattress and this one is really nice.
