Upgrading your RV's Mattress

For many RV owners, making adjustments and upgrades to their RV interior is all part of the fun. There are so many interior components that one could modify, ranging from the internal TVs to elements of the kitchen, bathroom changes, and so much more. One popular upgrade that RV owners like to make is to their mattress. Unfortunately, many older RVs contain uncomfortable spring mattresses, and even newer RVs may not have a mattress that best fits the RV owner’s preferences. The best solution to these issues is to upgrade your mattress to one that best fits your needs and lifestyle.

Why you should upgrade your RV mattress

Upgrading your mattress is beneficial for so many reasons. First of all, it allows RV owners to select a mattress that is best for them. This in turn can lead to a better night’s sleep and thus, better adventures on vacation. In addition, upgrades can increase the RV’s resale value and add to overall increased comfort while on the road. Finally, in used RVs, it’s a great idea to replace your mattress simply because you may want to start fresh. Your old mattress could be old, dirty, or simply worn, and upgrading it allows you to hit the reset button. For all of these reasons and more, upgrading or swapping out your RV’s mattress is an overall excellent idea.Once you have decided to select a new mattress for your RV, you may be unsure of where to begin. There are many options and potential choices, but you must keep in mind that RV mattresses do not typically come in standard mattress sizes. RV mattresses are typically a bit shorter in width or length or both to accommodate smaller spaces and leave room for extra floor space in the interior layout. Therefore, one cannot simply purchase any mattress and install it in their RV, as it will likely not fit. However, there are many excellent mattress options for RV owners to choose from. We have outlined some of our favorites below.

Denver Mattress

Denver mattresses are a favorite in many traditional homes, but many people don’t know that the company actually sells an entire line of RV mattresses, as well. These mattresses provide superior comfort and are made of luxurious, plant-based materials. Their foams are made entirely of natural substances and aim to invoke a sense of restful, healthy sleep. Their RV line has three choices of mattresses.The first choice is the Rest Easy Plush RV Mattress.
