Best RV Mattress

Many of Brooklyn Bedding’s mattresses are available in RV-friendly sizes, but the Dreamfoam Essential is specifically designed for use on the road. The mattress is available in five profiles and a host of different sizes, ensuring compatibility with most RV sleep spaces regardless of your vehicle’s specific dimensions. During our tests, we were impressed with how well the Wanderlust alleviated pressure and isolated motion – though performance largely depends on which thickness and size you choose.

How It Performs

The 10-inch and 12-inch Dreamfoam Essential models earned the most favorable ratings from our testers across different body types and sleep positions. These mattresses – which are medium firm (6) and medium (5), respectively – provided ample cushioning for our side sleepers without sinking too much for our back and stomach sleepers. The 14-inch model, which offers the softest feel, was also popular among our side sleepers, but this mattress may be impractical for some RVs due to its high profile.

If your RV’s sleep space necessitates a lower-profile mattress, the firmer 6-inch or 8-inch model should serve your needs. While they may be difficult to move across and bottom out for people who weigh more than 230 pounds, these mattresses outperformed many other low-profile, all-foam mattresses we’ve tested in categories such as edge support and temperature control.

What It’s Made of

The Dreamfoam Essential’s exact composition and firmness level depend on which profile you select. The 6-inch (firm), 8-inch (firm), and 10-inch (medium firm) models feature top layers of gel-infused memory foam over high-density polyfoam base layers. The 12-inch (medium) and 14-inch (medium soft) models add 2 to 3 inches of polyfoam between the comfort and base layers, which acts as a transitional layer to cushion the body while maintaining even support. All Dreamfoam Essential mattresses are encased in knit polyester covers. The cover is treated with a finish to protect your mattress from stains and liquid damage.

Brooklyn Bedding offers 23 sizes for the Dreamfoam Essential. These include three RV king options, seven RV bunk sizes, short full, short queen, and short king. This wide range ensures most RV owners can find a compatible size for their vehicle’s sleep area. The mattress is also available in the six standard sizes.

The Dreamfoam Essential is affordably priced, though cost varies by profile and size and some designs may exceed your budget. Brooklyn Bedding provides free ground shipping throughout the contiguous U.S. All purchases are backed by 120-night sleep trials and 10-year manufacturer’s warranties.

The Dynasty CoolBreeze Gel Memory Foam is an affordable all-foam model with a balanced medium firm (6) feel. The result is a mattress that cushions and contours to the body without sacrificing support. A cooling gel infusion also makes the mattress a good option if you normally sleep hot on memory foam beds.

How It Performs

Most of our testers felt comfortable on the CoolBreeze Gel Memory Foam. Our most favorable ratings came from side sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds, and back sleepers weighing up to 230 pounds. That said, the mattress received a rating of “good” or better from most of our testers across all body type and sleep position groups.

We detected minimal transfer across the surface during our motion isolation tests, so this mattress may be a good option if you and your partner experience movement-related disruptions while trying to sleep in your RV. Pressure relief was another standout performance area. Our body sensors revealed low amounts of pressure buildup for the side and back sleepers on our team. We also found the cooling gel to be an effective barrier against bothersome heat retention.

What It’s Made of

The dual-layer CoolBreeze Gel Memory Foam consists of a memory foam comfort layer and a high-density polyfoam support core. Gel infused into the memory foam is intended to dissipate body heat and help you sleep comfortably. Since the mattress is medium firm, our testers weighing up to 230 pounds noticed even contouring and little sinkage. A cotton-polyester cover encases the mattress, which measures 10 inches thick.

In addition to standard mattress dimensions, the CoolBreeze Gel Memory Foam is available in a short twin, short full, short queen, and short king. The mid-range profile should be compatible with your RV sleep area as long as there’s a fair amount of space between your mattress and the vehicle’s ceiling.

In addition to its accessible price-point, the CoolBreeze Gel Memory Foam qualifies for free ground shipping anywhere in the contiguous U.S. Your order includes a 120-night sleep trial. Should you decide to keep the mattress, Dynasty further backs your purchase with a generous 30-year warranty.

Brooklyn Bedding’s extensive mattress line includes a wide range of hybrids. The Signature Hybrid is one of the brand’s most affordable options, but don’t be fooled by the below-average sticker price – this mattress performs at the same level as many of its more expensive counterparts. Thanks to the cushioning foam layers and supportive coil system, we found the Signature Hybrid’s design particularly well suited to side sleepers.

How It Performs

We tested all three of the Signature Hybrid’s firmness levels. The medium soft (4) feel was most popular among our side sleepers weighing up to 230 pounds and back sleepers under 130 pounds. This design provides deep contouring to alleviate pressure along the spine. We found the medium firm (6) feel to be the most balanced, delivering ample cushioning and strong support. The most favorable ratings for this mattress came from our side and back sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds, but most of our testers across different position and weight groups felt reasonably comfortable. If you want extra support from your mattress, the firm (8) feel is a safe bet. Our back and stomach sleepers weighing at least 130 pounds reported adequate cushioning and minimal sinkage after lying on this model.

The Signature Hybrid’s performance varied by firmness. The two softer two models isolated the most motion and alleviated pressure well. Our edge support and ease of movement tests show that the two firmer models are the best options if you want a mattress that won’t sink or buckle too much when you get in and out of bed. All three versions of the Signature Hybrid earned high marks for temperature control, as well.

What It’s Made of

The Signature Hybrid’s exact composition depends on which firmness you choose, but all three share similar designs. These include top layers of gel-infused TitanFlex, a proprietary material designed to feel responsive, and secondary layers of more adaptive VariFlex polyfoam. Their support cores contain pocketed coils and dense foam base layers. The cover is made of cotton and quilted with a half inch of fiber padding. For the medium soft and medium firm models, the cover also contains a layer of adaptive foam.

At 11.75 inches thick, the Signature Hybrid may be too tall for your RV’s sleep space – be sure to measure the available height before deciding on this mattress. Size options include three RV king options, an RV bunk size, short full, short queen, and short king.

While most hybrid models lean expensive, the Signature is a budget-friendly option for shoppers. Brooklyn Bedding also ships for free throughout the contiguous U.S. Each purchase includes a 120-night sleep trial, as well as a 10-year warranty for those who keep the mattress.

The ORB Performance Hybrid is not your typical RV mattress. Measuring 13 inches thick, this luxury hybrid is engineered to alleviate pressure, sleep cool, and help you wake up well-rested without pain or muscle aches. Three firmness options ensure most sleepers can find a comfortable design regardless of their personal needs and preferences.

How It Performs

Our testers personally evaluated all of the Performance Hybrid’s firmness levels. The medium soft (4) feel provided deep contouring and cushioning, making it most popular with our side sleepers weighing up to 230 pounds and back sleepers under 130 pounds. At the other end of the spectrum, the firm (7) model conformed to a minimal extent and delivered robust coil support. This model earned its most favorable ratings from back and stomach sleepers weighing at least 130 pounds. If you want a balance of the two designs, we suggest the medium firm (6). This feel was comfortable and sufficiently supportive for all of our testers between 130 and 230 pounds across all three position groups.

We were impressed by the Performance Hybrid’s Far Infrared Rays (FIR) cover, which is designed to convert body heat into infrared energy and transmit this energy back into your body through your skin. This process can promote physical recovery during the night. The fabric also dissipates heat, so the mattress earned high marks during our temperature control tests. Our testers noticed little motion transfer on the medium soft model, while the two firmer mattresses earned strong ratings for edge support and ease of movement.

What It’s Made of

The Performance Hybrid’s deep, pillow-top comfort system begins with a top layer of copper-infused polyfoam, followed by a polyfoam and gel-infused memory foam layers. How closely the mattress conforms to your body depends on the firmness you choose, but our tests showed all three versions were fairly adaptive with ample cushioning around the shoulders and hips. Pocketed coils over dense base foam make up the support core, and the FIR cover encases the mattress.

In addition to standard mattress dimensions, the Performance Hybrid is available in RV queen, RV king, and RV short king designs. The 13-inch profile may be somewhat limiting if your vehicle has low clearance. We recommend measuring your sleep space before choosing this mattress. Also check the weight capacity of your RV’s bed frame, as this mattress can weigh up to 145 pounds.

ORB offers free ground shipping to customers in the contiguous U.S. Each Performance Hybrid order includes a sleep trial that runs for 100 nights, and those who choose to keep the mattress also receive a 10-year warranty against structural defects.

The Park Meadow Pocketed Coil Mattress is a solid low-profile option for RV owners. Short mattresses tend to underperform due to their thinner layers, but this hybrid model offers a balanced medium firm (6) feel and sturdy support to reduce aches and pains in the shoulders, lumbar region, and hips. We recommend this mattress to anyone with back pain who experiences flare-ups at night while they’re on the road.

How It Performs

While testing the Pocketed Coil Mattress, we found the medium firm hybrid design best suited to back and stomach sleepers. Slender cushioning layers over a robust coil system allowed most of our testers who favor these positions to lie comfortably on the mattress without sinking or sagging too much. Our side sleepers weighing more than 230 pounds also found the mattress comfortable.

Our temperature control tests show cooling is a major strength of the Pocketed Coil Mattress. Thanks to steady airflow through the coil system and a breathable knit cover, our thermal heat sensors detected minimal buildup on the surface. A highly responsive feel should also make the mattress easy to move across when you get in and out of bed, and the perimeter felt stable when we tested it for edge support.

What It’s Made of

The mattress’ unconventional design includes comfort and transitional layers of soy-based polyfoam. This material is designed to resist heat retention and sleep cooler than conventional foams. With just 2 inches of foam padding, you should expect minimal contouring on the mattress. The support core contains pocketed coils that made the mattress feel exceptionally springy during our various tests. A knit cover with a luxe suede border encases the mattress.

We expect most RV sleep areas can accommodate the Pocketed Coil Mattress’ 8-inch profile. For added versatility, you can choose from 60 different sizes. Width options range from 24 to 76 inches, and lengths range from 72 to 84 inches. On the off-chance that none of these sizes are compatible with your RV, you can call Meadow Park to arrange for a custom size.

The total cost of your Pocketed Coil Mattress depends on which size you choose, but all options fall well below average for a hybrid model. Meadow Park offers free shipping throughout the contiguous U.S. The company’s generous sleep trial allows you to test out the mattress for up to a year before deciding whether to return it or keep it. Those who opt for the latter also receive a 20-year manufacturer’s warranty with 10 years of non-prorated coverage.

The Hest Dually Custom S is a foldable all-foam mattress specifically intended for use in your RV or van. You can choose from two couple-friendly sizes, and both feature notched head corners to ensure a proper fit within your vehicle’s frame.

How It Performs

Consisting of two foam layers, the Dually Custom S delivers even contouring and gentle cushioning to prevent pressure buildup along the spine. The mattress measures 8 inches thick, which is on the shorter side but substantial enough to create a buffer between you and your RV’s floor. Most of our side, back, and stomach sleepers weighing up to 230 pounds found the mattress reasonably comfortable compared to other RV-friendly models we’ve tested.

Other testing areas where the Dually Custom S performed well include motion isolation and temperature control, both of which are crucial when sleeping with a partner. We were also impressed with the thoughtful details that make this mattress well-equipped for RV travel. These include the foldable structure, machine-washable cover, and hidden pocket for securing your belongings at night.

What It’s Made of

The mattress features a memory foam comfort layer and high-density polyfoam base. The S60 size measures 60 inches wide by 68 inches long, making it comparable to a short king. If you need extra width or legroom, the S75 is 68 inches wide and 75 inches long. Each top corner is notched to help you fit the mattress into your RV or van with bunching, and the bi-fold design lets you easily store the mattress when not in use.

The cover is made from nylon twill, a long-lasting fabric that resists wear and tear better than cotton or polyester. You can remove and machine wash the cover between each excursion. Another handy feature is the stash pocket located at the top of the bed for storing your keys, wallet, phone, and other valuables.

Hest offers free ground shipping for customers in the contiguous U.S. Your Dually Custom S order includes a 100-night trial period, during which full refunds are issued for returns. If you decide to keep the mattress, it’s also covered under a one-year manufacturer’s warranty.

If your RV’s sleep area can’t accommodate a standard-size mattress, you should consider a custom model. Custom Mattress Makers lets you choose from a range of width and length measurements, ensuring a comfortable fit regardless of your RV’s dimensions. In addition to the broad size selection, you can choose from 11 different models. These mattresses vary by thickness, firmness, design, and price.

How It Performs

Performance largely depends on which Custom Mattress Makers model you select. Lower-profile mattresses feel fairly firm, resulting in decent overall support but minimal contouring. You’ll receive more cushioning from the thicker models, particularly those with soft (3), medium soft (4), or medium (5) designs. Mattresses with latex comfort layers feel more responsive than those containing adaptive foam and may be easier to move across as a result.

We also recommend a model with latex if you consider yourself a “hot sleeper.” The latex is ventilated to promote airflow near the surface and help the mattress maintain a comfortable temperature. Models with memory foam comfort layers may trap more heat, but these mattresses excel at motion isolation and are well suited to people who share their bed with a restless sleep partner.

What It’s Made of

Each of the 11 Custom Mattress Makers models has a unique design based on composition and firmness. Budget-friendly models in the “Basics” and “Performance” collections are available in one firmness level, whereas the higher-end “Premium” and “Ultimate” mattresses come in three firmness options apiece. All mattresses feature pocketed coil support cores. Some are constructed with memory foam or foam padding, and others contain latex instead.

You can customize the width of your mattress anywhere from 20 to 78 inches and the length from 50 to 84 inches. In addition to a standard rectangular shape, you can opt for “special cuts” mattresses with angled, notched, or rounded corners.

Costs vary significantly, but overall, these mattresses are relatively affordable compared to other hybrids on the market. Custom Mattress Makers also offers free ground shipping throughout the contiguous U.S. The company allows you to test your mattress for up to 100 nights. Comparatively, many brands selling custom-made models don’t allow returns at any point. You’ll also receive a 10-year warranty against various structural and material defects.
