Teddy Bear Mattress

Morning Folks!! Just spent the night in our 197bh for the first time!! That teddy bear mattress was no where near as comfy as it looked like [emoji16]

Anyone have any tips or tricks. I think it's a queen, but not sure 100%. We already put a 2" memory foam on it, but not much help.

Thanks for any ideas!!

We replaced ours with a Zinus memory foam from amazon. It sleeps so nice we are going to replace the mattress at home with the same one except full queen at home instead of short.

I built a simple extension onto the existing bed frame, only took 20 minutes or so. And we got a queen size pillow top mattress in there (or rather my hubby did, he's a big guy, folded it like a taco and got it right in). Now we sleep great!

Teddy Bear Mattress

Walmart had a 4" thick queen size memory foam mattress topper for about 140.00. Was well worth it. It is a little bigger than the teddy bear, but didn't matter. I am 6'4", my feet hang over anyway and it actually helped me. I couldn't sleep on the teddy bear at all. I woke up at least every half hour to an hour. Felt like crap in the morning. Went and got the mattress topper the next week and now it is 150% better. Well worth the money. You can spend more for a lot better, but to me for only 2 to 3 nights a month, there was no sense is spending more money. For full time I would spend more money.
