where can i find a nice custom mattress topper for my 2012' x213?
i have a "king size"bed mattress on my little x213 tt. it is the original that came with the trailer. it is not very comfortable as it is pretty much just a 3" thick pad. i cant get a regular mattress because height would be an issue. is there a website or a place where i can get a really lush mattress topper to make the original more comfortable? any help would be greatly appreciated

I am looking around for a 2" topper too.....kinda wished I had laid down on the bed before buying it....I would have made them either replace the mattress or install the topper. I a going to try and see if I can get the dealer to do something about it before the next camping season

We just got a 3" memory foam pad from Bed Bath and Beyond. We got the queen size and had to cut 5 1/2 inches off the length. It's nice but cost about $200.

We bought a 4" memory foam from Wal-Mart.
I was there just yesterday and checked the king size 4" memory price. It was on sale for $114. There were only two left in stock. Wish I had waited 'till after Christmas to buy ours.

We got ours (foam) at Sears... but should have just got one from Wal Mart for cheaper... anyway we are very happy with the comfort. But we have a spring mattress on our "short" queen bed, so the topper was mainly to put some padding between us and the springs.
You might also consider checking out IKEA in your area as well. They have lots of different foam and stuffed mattresses in a variety of thicknesses. You might be able to do a complete replacement with one of theirs that still fits your total maximum thickness allowance (if other dimensions work). We used to have a Murphy bed that would not allow for more than 9" so we had a 5 or 6 inch coil mattress with an additional 2" topper on it, all from IKEA. It was a comfortable bed and that thin topper made making the bed a real breeze. We still use it on a guest bed in the house. Anyway, you can check out their website and see if any of the dimensions could work.

I bought a 4 inch topper at Walmart online for about 120 bucks a couple of years ago. It has 1.5 inches of memory foam on one side, 2.5 inches of high density foam on the other. I've used it on top of the short queen mattress, underneath it, and today, because the queen mattress that came with my trailer has a big dent in it, and I hurt in the mornings, I tossed the queen mattress in the dumpster.
Tonight I'm going to sleep on only the 4 inch mattress topper on the plywood base. Wish me luck! I'll let you know how it worked out tomorrow morning.

We bought a full queen foam mattress from IKEA for approx $300. Slide your short queen down 6" from the head end so the foot is supported. It is so awesome, my wife made me buy one for the house.

I've settled on a 4 pound density topper. I just can't decide if 2" or 3" would be better on my X213. I don't have a true mattress on my rig, so I'm wondering if the 3" would be better.

I bought a 3" memory foam topper from Walmart at the beginning of the camping season last year for around $115 and it was the best purchase that I have made for our travel trailer. It is breathable and very comfortable on top of the stock foam padding that came with the trailer.

Be sure to know the size of your RV KING SIZE BED. The RV bed sizes are not the same as the house bed sizes.
I ordered my 3-inch topper on-line and was shipped to me all folded up in a nice small foot print package VIA UPS... Cut the wrapping and it pops out into a bed size mattress haha...

+1 for the 4" topper from Wally World. Gave a little more than a bill for it. Best money I've spent on a mod so far... I thought we would have to trim it, but it ended up fitting just fine the way it was...

I kind of figured I'd have to trim the king pad down. Its 72x74 according to the Jayco specs. Looks like I need to trim about 6" off one of the sides of the topper. I won't purchase what I have in mind till the camper is in the driveway and I can measure it myself though.

3" foam topper and a plush feather bed on too of that. I hate going home to my bed there after a weekend camping. Both from Kohls.

I figure worst case scenario if I DO have to trim it I'll lay the foam pad on top of the memory foam topper, trace the outline, and trim the memory foam back to match the pad.

We also have a 28BHBE. We've only used it twice, but I find the mattress is so uncomfortable. Does the mattress topper reduce the bounciness at all? We are used to a firm mattress.
