Welcome to this week's podcast! Have you replaced your RV mattress? How did it go and want to share who you purchased from? Let us know in the comments what your experience was like, and of course, we always welcome any thoughts and opinions on the topics discussed. See you next week! - Jason and Abby
Jason,
We are looking at the Montana Hybrid also. Did you select the Plush or Firm mattress?
We love our RV wilderness Montana 💜💜
So since you like to do research, do your research on the sleep number. I have read many revues on them and they are like an air mattress and as you well know, air mattress can and will spring leaks!!
We have a high end class a that came with a horrible mattress. Having had a bad mattress in our airstream previously, added at topper that made it tolerable for the short trips we took at the time, we knew we needed better. We had a queen Doctors choice firm from Denver mattress in our guest room that we loved. We removed the old mattress and moved the Doctors choice mattress into the class a. We are now very happy and sleeping much better. The rv mattress is now in the guest room with the old 4” topper. Works great for the grandkids.
What parks do you like in Florida in the Fall?
We like the Pensacola area. Fort Pickens is great if you can get it.
Thanks for the great product reviews. We just ordered the Wilderness RV Montana Hybrid.
Hope you enjoy it!
We went to the "Original Mattress Company" and had them custom our queen short with a pillow topper. They put a hinge in it so that we could maneuver it into our small 5th wheel. It was challenging, to be sure. Took a while to get used to it. Had a sleep number once in the house and returned it in 3 weeks. We would still a spring of some sort and saw a product (individual polymer springs) that is screwed into the plywood, adds about another 2 inches and acts as a box spring. Has anyone else seen it heard of this? Would be interesting to know if this is a solution.
We had a sleep number bed for awhile. Finally got rid of it. Will never go back.
Loved this podcasts. Loved the talk about Rv mattresses. I also loved the talk of Top Gun 2. I loved the first one. Loved the talk on Disney. Ya I feel the same way I think it’s going be hard for movie theaters to make a cone back when slot people stream and don’t want to go because of COVID. Thank you both so much for these podcast fir us to see on Utube. I want to try watching on my iPhone but not sure what time Sunday you are on with the time difference. Love to you both see you soon! Stay safe.
Answer to question. Envelope.
Nice colors Abby! Stylish red and green! ;)
Thanks, Dee. Happy Holidays!
Our mattress in our Salem trailer is 8 inch but horribly uncomfortable. We are planning on replacing it soon thank you for this info about mattresses
I was surprised how interesting and informative your mattress video was. I ordered a hybrid latex/spring mattress and have high hopes for a comfortable nights sleep. Thanks
When you get the mattress, we'd love to know what you think of it and hope you'll come back and share your thoughts! Thanks for watching! - Abby
We just replaced our RV King mattress a couple of weeks ago with a custom mattress from Mattress Insider to accommodate our slide. We measured the old mattress and gave them our requirements. It was a bit pricey, but, as you said, we will be spending a third of our lives on it (once we hit the road full-time next spring). Ours was 92 pounds shipping weight - glad shipping was free!
Check Hawk Bedding company in Lees Summit, since you are in the area. They custom make mattresses and are very reasonable. They are on Independence Ave just north of Colbern Road.
Oops it is Hawn Bedding. Sorry for the typo
We have a sleep number in our RV, we have one at home. I have the AC model. They know have a DC model.
simply amazing broadcast guys..... loved it.... Can't wait for the not one..... Keeping Kicking it Forward......
Would love for you to discuss Rving and the military families. Several of us, US Marines, rv a lot.... Thanks
Omg @ the Disney announcement gonna have to pay attention i cant wait
61 new shows!
After years of camping on horrible beds, I am certainly looking at the details like mattresses (and hinges and hydraulics....). When you’re older and experienced and full time, those details matter! Congrats on 174 podcasts!
We have an upgraded Serta regular queen. Was a Cedar Creek upgrade and is ok. At home 9" Lull foam which we love -- we are side sleepers. Took a few nights to get used to it. I think we will but a Lull in our fifth wheel. They give a 100 day free trial.
Tomato soup cake is wonderful my son’s favorite
I can’t wait to try it! -Abby
I added an egg crate mattress topper, a padded mattress cover, and at one time a feather bed, but nothing really solved the crease I felt down the middle. And of course, that’s where I wanted to sleep! Still, it’s a step up from sleeping on the ground;). Btw....please don’t push pills, vitamins or otherwise.....
Nobody's pushing anything. We found a vitamin company we like, and if you're interested that, you're welcome to try them out or not.
You’re right. I do have a choice. I love the mute button on my remote.
You’re absolutely right, Becky, you do have a choice and so do we. If we aren’t for you, please find someone who is. We are looking for positivity and comments like yours don’t do anything but stir a pot. A pot which has been plenty stirred this year. Be well and I hope you find what you’re looking for on RUclips. -Abby
Wow. Talk about stirring a pot.....I apologize for agitating the ‘pot’. I really like you guys and I don’t depend on utube for anything. I do make comments sometimes that reflect a deeper thought and hard as I try to not agitate, it sometimes crosses my self imposed lines of saying what I really am feeling. It must be hard times for you, too, so please accept my apology for my comments. I will leave you alone, now. Good-bye.
Everybody hates the new Facebook
From my research on Amazon reviews you have to be careful with anything that has a cover because some of the covers are made of fiberglass. But reading reviews can help you figure out which ones are best for cutting. Big tip - electric knife is easiest way to cut up foam mattresses/toppers.
Do you guys have info on wintering in a class c 31 ft. Heated tanks and bought water hose with heat tape attached. I just bought this coachmen forest river. Leprechaun. I parked at city mobile home park about 50 miles from my dealership. I bought the extra warranties. Qhen i connwctws water it leaked into bottom compartments went inside ran water and it ran under furniture ended up puddle in my living room ao water is off carrying water. I have called my salesman and the repair shop no return on my calls . They were suppoae to check to make sure all works. Have yall had any trouble with dealsrahip honoring service after the sale . I paid caah sold home want to be a full timer. Af least water iS off incase freezes i have no idea what to use for insulation salesman waa going to help with that as well. Thanks im tired not as cranky as i sound.
Yes i need a mattress so im here ill look up a more recent video ❤😊
We got a 10" Zinus bed on another podcaster recommendation. We *hated* it. Put a two inch Zinus memory foam topper on it. I could sleep on it, but Lorraine was miserable. Finally gave up and got another SleepNumber.
I've been happy with zinus products. I have a twin and rv queen innerspring, and also a 5 inch foam in the 5th wheel sleeper sofa. I'm not a fan of toppers as they make me roast, but the three inch serenia sleep gel topper from amazon does not have that suffocating feeling other toppers give me. It's actually more comfortable than the bed in my house. One nice thing with the innerspring is that you can get comfort without a tall mattress. I also have a pop up camper, so am limited on vertical space, and the 6 inch innerspring works perfectly.
Todays topic of the dreaded RV mattress is one of many opinions. We have the Casper and really enjoy it.
While I understand the opinion of not wanting RV shows, there are other helpful events that take place. An example of this is seminars. Tampa will have 2 this year we are interested in attending. These can be done safely and still provide helpful information. The vendor buildings, that will be a tall task. Honestly, I wouldn’t be going to see the vendors but we need our portable water softener serviced.
Went to an RV lot last weekend. They had 3 new Rvs on their lot! A Prowler travel trailer, a Cruiser 5th Wheel, and a Kodiak bunkhouse travel trailer. They're having trouble getting deliveries in unless its preordered.
The shortage of class B vans made the industry start making class C RV kind of look like a class B. They call it the B+
It’s laughable
🎄The red lipstick 💄 is Holiday! 💋
Outstanding episode! So, RV beds...so mysterious to a “premie” RV researcher / shopper. What in the world is a “Denver” mattress?! We keep seeing that in ads and brochures. Cannot figure that out. Is it mountainous on one end and flat and dusty on the other? What make it “Denver”? 😂
Another great episode.
Another question we always have is - why are there SO MANY MATTRESS STORES in any given town? How on earth do they all stay open? lol.
DO NO PAY! for an over priced RV mattress. Our select comfort on our Fleetwood, Bounder failed while we were traveling in Arizona. We went to Mattress Firm in Flagstaff. They had the Purple mattress with the exact dimensions for our space. The best mattress hands down and for 1/3 the cost $600. The original cost $1200. They had a returned including all warranties. It beats the overpriced, uncomfortable, not well made, cheap RV mattresses out there in the market. We've had it now for 4 months. We'd buy it again.
We paid $600 for our RV mattress.
I would love a new mattress, but our bed is on a slide out and the mattress folds over when the slide is in. I put a topper and really nice gel mattress pad over it that will still allow it to fold, and it’s better but still lacking. I wonder if I can find a more comfortable foldable mattress.
Im with abbi I hate all the changes for change too
Had a corner bed mattress in ours. Horrific-bad even by RV mattress standards. Went to local foam store, consulted them on requirement, was able to try numerous types of foams in various densities. Ended up with 2 foams bonded together and cut to exact size/shape by the foam store. Light years better than the OEM stuff.
frick Tampa and their show. 37:02 OMG that was mmmeeee!! LOVE you guys....I totes warmed my own hands while Abby did.
Eye
You do not need lipstick, you look I'm sure you look great without it, honestly, l mean that.
Thanks, Susan. If you've watched past shows, I definitely don't wear it often, but the holidays have me feeling festive. :) - Abby
I was really disappointed to hear that Thor purchased R Village. I like things to be more independent than that.
Brain teaser- envelope
I was thinking eye but your answer works too 👍😁
@@annemhsingmom - I thought that at first!
Over 6 wasted minutes into this and still no mention of anything about mattresses!
Goodbye.
You do know this is a podcast, right? A podcast is like a talk show with segments and main topics. Always good to know what you are watching before you decide to throw a temper tantrum and end up looking foolish. Bye.
RV Miles, tantrum ? nope, and no I didn't know it was a podcast nor did I care enough to investigate before watching.
I began watching because of your title...wasn't aware it was just click bait to add to your numbers.
Must be nice to be able to afford needing no new viewers.
(Literally says “podcast episode” in the title)
RV Miles don't know the difference between a podcast, blog or a home movie...and frankly don't care.
I thought you may be interesting.
You're not.
