Mattress for E-Pro/Geo Pro 14FK

Anyone have any ideas about a custom mattress (maybe memory foam) for the 58" x 69.75" bed size in the E-Pro 14FK?


Thanks in advance.

Amazon is where you want to go. Lots of mattresses on there for trailers.

Looking for a place with custom sizes. The bed in the 14FK is unconventional.

We ordered a good, firm, memory foam mattress from Amazon. We cut ours to fit. But.....we actually ended up recutting it a little shorter on all sides to allow for the mattress topper we also purchased, mattress cover, and sheets. Plus, having a small gap on all sides makes for much, much easier bed making. The mattress was very firm, so it was pretty hard to make the bed prior to us trimming it down some! My knuckles were raw from making the bed! I wish Forest River had made the coach a bit longer in order to allow for using traditional size bedding without altering. We decided to totally remove the table from the coach and leave the bedding in place all the time. We plan on further strengthening that area with a stronger, larger piece of of wood. There will be no gap where the table top was. We also caulked the holes in the floor where the table was originally anchored. This works much better for us as we are outsiders from daylight to dark! Happy camping AND fishing!

Thanks for the reply.
I didn't know if one could cut the memory foam to fit without having issues with it falling apart or whatever. Not totally familiar with the mattresses.
Thanks again.

We got a 4" foam topper for ours and cut it with an electric knife. The bed sleep soooo much better.

Could you guys post the links to the mattresses? I'd like to see the items that people are enjoying. There are just too many to choose from. Some links would definitely help.
Thanks!

I got mine at a local salvage store called Dirt Cheap. It was actually King size and had to be cut a lot but it was less than $40 so it was a great deal.

Any kind of foam topper would work.

The foam mattress was a queen size. The mattress topper was a full size. Before we trimmed the foam mattress, we let it sit for a week or so in order for it to expand to its maximum size.

We're new to the forum and we just bought our E-Pro 14FK on Friday (10/4/2019). Today, we received our 2" memory foam/gel queen mattress topper and we plan to trim it to about the size of the bed. We plan to put the topper on the existing cushions, since the space is just a couple of inches shy of a queen size mattress, and we'll use queen size bedding. We have yet to get the trailer out of the driveway, since we're still setting everything up.
