New mattress sags already

Hi. New member here and my first post.
We bought a Wildwood 27rkss in April. Within a month of only weekend camping, the mattress formed 2 noticeable dips. Sent dealer our pics and measurements for warranty replacement. Still no resolution to problem.

We live in Michigan with only 2 months left in the camping season. Any suggestions on how we can get this resolved before the season is over and we both need a chiropractor for our aching backs?

The factory mattresses aren't worth dirt.....we removed ours and bought an upgraded one before ever sleeping on it.

Glad someone mentioned this. We have the Serta queen in our new 5er (bought Jan. 4th) and Sneak (DH) says his side of the mattress is collapsing...feels like he's sliding off his side of the bed.

Absolutely no excuse for this....I always say he's so skinny he has to run around in the shower to get wet, stand twice to make a shadow

so I know it's not because he's too heavy for the mattress.

I haven't tried his side of the bed yet, but if it really is sagging....yeah, we'll be talkin' to our dealer about this.

We just bought the same queen mattress for the RV as we have in our room. The one we put in the camper is a slightly better one and we sleep better in the rv than in the house!!

Never did sleep on the original one. Gave it away with our last camper.

I replaced the factory installed mattress because of the same issues you have had. There is no support to and I would wake up with a sore back. I went to the Foam factory in Macomb Twp. They have everything you could want to make your bed comfortable. I replaced the mattress with 3 in firm foam and 2 in memory foam topper. Best decision I've made.

We're thinking of trying a good quality air mattress. Seems all mattresses sag very quickly. Anyone try it and have advice.

At the FROG rally they are selling a Trump Home RV Mattress. We had added topper for our original mattress in both the TT and the 5th Wheel. Today we took delivery of the Trump sold half price no tax. Its worth the drive to Goshen for sure!

The stock mattress in our Berkshire was worthless. We took on look at it and ordered a Tempur Pedic cloud. We never slept on it. We were luckly that the bed is a standard queen so any mattress we wanted would fit.

Sneak and I have a Tempur Pedic here at home. So, anything less than that is an ummmm "adjustment" for us. We put a 3 inch memory foam topper on the Serta that came in our 5er, but that Serta is what's now sagging/collapsing toward the edge on his side of the bed.

We haven't investigated it yet (Sneak just mentioned it our last trip out) but if it is, in fact, collapsed on that side, we'll be talking to our dealer about it.

Bought January 4th....first trip out was in May...probably a total of 15 nights in it total. No excuse for that, especially when he's below average weight for his age/height.

Then you would like the Denver Mattress Lipped is selling for the same price point. All foam, not practical for our winters in Canada.

We did have to let our TP bed warm up before sleeping in it when we left MI in January. It was rock hard but 6-7 hours with the heat on and it was perfect. No real issues with it so far.
