Any idea what it takes to get Jayco to pay for at least part of a new mattress? And how to go about getting it to them?

I would like to at least get something to help pay for the new mattress.

I complained to my salesman by email that the mattress was lumpy after a few uses. He responded back a few days later that Jayco would replace it or send me $200 and I can buy what I want, I took the $200.

We put our old residential queen mattress from the house in the camper. Best move we have made my feet no longer hang off the end.

We have been sleeping on the Brentwood Gel Memory Foam for a couple years and love it. We're going to replace our bed at home with the same very soon.

Residential queen mattress is the best way to go. We went top of the line and is the same mattress we sleep on in our stick built house. All you need is the mattress not box spring. It is heavy but the shocks on the storage under bed handle's it just fine and keeps it up while we lift to go under bed.

After Jayco sent me a $200 replacement check I went to a local furniture store to mattress shop. I found a clearance on Sealey iComfort memory foam similar to what I have at home in a Queen size, retail was about 3k and I got it for $500. Since it was a queen and my RV mattress is a full xl I removed the cover and made some cut lines with a sharpie at attacked it with an electric knife which made a nice smooth cut. Bought a new full xl cover and now I sleep great on a nice comfy mattress just like home.

We have a Sleep Number with a memory foam topper from Wal-mart. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Authentic...opper/35176382
The best nights sleep I've had. We've taken this with us when we upgraded campers. I sleep better at the camper than I do at home and we have a regular Sleep Number at home without the topper.

This is the one we bought last month:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Price was right, but availability on Amazon was spotty. I watched it closely and snatched it up as soon as it became available. We picked up the 10" in "Short (RV) Queen" and the fit is perfect.

We recently returned from a 12-day RV Road trip. The mattress is a little firmer than I would like, but still quite comfortable (this is really a nit-pick on this mattress). It doesn't "suck" you in like some foam mattresses are known to do, which is quite nice. I fully expect it to soften up some (hopefully not much) as it is used.

I held out for the 10" (the 8" was more regularly available), and I'm not totally convinced I would do that again. I think especially for lighter folks (we're pretty heavy) an 8" would likely be fine. But because of our size, I felt more comfortable going with the 10"

This is the same mattress the wife and I got for our trailer as well, don't regret it one bit. We have a high end memory foam (cost 10x what this one did) at home and to be brutally honest I couldn't tell you any difference between them aside from the RV one came in a bag, the home one was delivered by a couple of guys lol

We have an older TT so I don't know if the sizes are the same thing r jot but we want to upgrade our mattress (since it is used and all) ours is presently a full size I believe. Do TT's use a standard full size mattress? Are the queen size the only ones that are "short" for a camper?

RV 'short' mattresses are available in twin, full, queen and king.

Many TT's now use the regular size queen or king. I've seen that older rigs typically used 'short' RV versions. My 2016 jay flight has a regular size queen.

You'll need to measure what you have. An RV full (short) is typically 75x48, while a regular full is 75x54.. Here are some links to brentwood mattresses on Amazon. They make all size mattresses. This is what we have in our TT. We liked it so much, we bought one for home as our everyday mattress.

We have the same mattress. Some 110 nights on it and it's holding up well
We got the 10 inch. I was concerned about sitting up and bashing head on cabinets underside but that has not happened

We have purchased 4 of these in various sizes...

We had the Queen Short in our last camper. We liked it so much that we replaced our home mattress with one. Then when we purchased our new camper, we purchased another Queen Regular. Our son now has one for his bed at home too.

Put a $309.00 Memory Foam 12" Queen Short from Amazon in our unit a few months back and have slept happily ever since. The fit is perfect. Pay as much as you like, but I think $309.00 was a great price for the comfort we get out of it. Sweet dreams, whatever you do.
