Mattress Cover

Can anyone recommend a good mattress cover? My wife says that our mattress in the Roo isn't comfortable because she is sleeping on the crack.

Nearly every hybrid owner puts a foam topper on the mattresses.

I have a 2" foam topper from Kohls and then a reg. matteress pad before making the bed. It has been very comfortable. Can't feel the crack at all.

Try placing some square foam 2x2 pads under the bed (recommended somewhere on here recently) and then the foam topper.

You should create an even level for the bed and then the topper helps with the crappy mattress.

I didn't like sleeping on the crack so we now "pivot" our mattress so our heads are facing the middle window of the bunk end and our feet are facing the living area. I don't have to crawl over the DW when I have to get up at night. The "crack" is a thing of the past.

Thanks for everyone's input. Got my wife the perfect harmony mattress topper from camping world for Christmas. Have to wait till Spring to try it out.

I LOVE the pivot idea!! I forgot to say that in addition to our 2" memory foam topper, I added the insulation board from Home Depot (1/2" or 5/8" I can't remember) to the bunk door area under the mattress....noticed that when you cut it to fit that area, place it in and then throw the mattress back on, things level out very nicely and the proverbial mattress trap/crack all but disappears.
