Help please: Queen Mattress topper- something super thick and plush
I don't think I've ever slept in a more uncomfortable bed in my life. We took our maiden voyage in our new TT this weekend and my husband ended up in the bunkhouse the 2nd night, while my daughter and I stayed in the front bedroom. Even she said "How do you sleep on this?!" And that's coming from a kid who can sleep anywhere.
I tossed and turned, it's so darn hard. I know we should cough up the money for better mattress but that'll have to wait. What is the best THICK topper you've found that you love, that won't break the bank? We're going back out in two weeks and it's needed before then.
Thanks in advance.

We have used the Perfect Harmony Mattress Topper in both of our units and love it. We have a Sleep Number bed at home and the wife sleeps better in the RV than at home. Of course that is probably helped by the fact that we are camping and not at home.

Check out IKEA. Ours is very comfortable. Doesn't weigh a lot, they shrink wrap it with the air out. Easily transportable, once you remove the wrap it takes a couple hours to regain its shape and it is covered. It's a honest 6" thick. Approx 300$

There is quite a selection at overstock.com
We got a 3" gel memory foam topper from them and it made all the difference in the world. Sometimes they have sales, or you can search the net for coupon codes.

Reviews are concerning. Keep the reports coming on why you love yours and how long you've had it.

I'm not one to easily complain either. I think a sleeping bag on the ground may have been better. I am still feeling it in my neck and back this morning, and I slept well in my home bed yesterday.
I agree that there are bigger things to complain about but I sure can't do that again, and we're hitting the road every chance we get.

I have been using a 3 inch foam topper purchased from Sam's Club. It has been on the mattress for two years and it really solved our problem.
Best,

We swapped out the mattress in our Berkshire with a Sleep Number air bed, the same as in our home. Also have the same pillows. When we hit the road, it's just like sleeping at home.

We put a 4 Inch combo topper from Walmart in our motor home and the comfort is beyond belief. I sleep better in the MH than on our memory foam at home. We paid about $149 for it. They suggest you lay it out flat for 23 to 36 hours to allow it to flatten out. Make sure you put the memory foam side up. I put ours under a quilted mattress cover.

We went to Costco and got a Novafoam Topper. Put it on a king in our Cedar Creek 37BH and it did wonders. I may get one for in the house too.

Purchased the Perfect Harmony mattress toppers from Camping World for the bunk beds and the queen bed. Makes a world of difference. Very comfortable.

We use mattress topper from Kohls and have for the past 3+ years and 300+ nights of camping. Between a sale (Black Friday, maybe) and Kohl's Cash, it went from being a couple of hundred dollar purchase to much less. I think it is a 4" memory foam mattress + pillow top.
It has made it from terrible to OK/bearable. For weekend trips, I would sleep as well as I did at home- likely better. But once you got longer than a long weekend/short week, it isn't enough.
Other than overall comfort, my chief complaint about it is that I get hot on it. I run fairly hot as is and it amplifies that.

We JUST ordered a Sleep Number bed since we've been living in our RV for the last 4 months. I'm hopeful that'll help.

We use a gel topper that we bought at the Goshen Rally two years ago. About $300 I think. Not really thick - maybe 2" but very comfortable. Found something similar at Costco that we use at home too.

We have a 2010 Flagstaff 829FKSS and we love the original equipment mattress. Very comfortable without a topper.

Consider yourself super lucky. This thing could pass for a rock with plastic wrap. I don't even think it's reasonable to call it a mattress. Love all the tips. Thanks.

We use a 2" memory foam topper that we got from Kohls. Watched sales. Got a $200 one for about $75. Used it for 2 (summer) seasons. Still doing great.
