White Hawk owners are you happy with stock matress?

[Nighthawk 96]

New White Hawk 27 DSRL just arrived. Trying to decide whether to keep stock matress which seems a little hard or
upgrade to a Sleepnumber or other more higher end matress. What are your impressions about your stock matress?

[mikmurphy]

DW says find a new mattress. When she finds one that will make her happy, I'll post the specifics. I could pretty much care less, but that's the way it goes.

If you go the air mattress route, check prices of Comfortaire. We have them in the camper and at home. Pretty much the same as Sleep Number, just a couple hundred advertising dollars less per mattress.

We added 1 1/2" memory foam on the top of ours. It's not like our sleep number, but we can live it for now.

Not sure if the White Hawk mattress and the 2009 Jay Flight mattress are the same, but we also added memory foam topper

My brother and his wife used to use our parents x17z last summer until they went and purchased a White Hawk this past fall. My sister-in-law says she feels the beds in the 17z were more comfortable then then the bed in her 28DSBH. They did buy a foam topper but won't be able to use it until next weekeknd.

We slept in our 27DSRL last weekend for the first time. The factory mattress is ok but could use a little help. We stopped by CW near Springfield, MO and purchased a Perfect Harmony Mattress Topper. It feels much more comfortable than the mattress alone. Have not slept on it yet though.

I full time in our 30 DSRE right now.....After three weeks I think that I am going to replace the mattress. Wife thinks it is just fine but for a larger boy like I am it just does not feel like there is enough support. I think it is going to be a personal preference. Try it out and go from there.....oh but on another note we love out White Hawk, problem free so far.

okay, we just ordered a new short queen from Camping World:

First outing will be May 17, I'll post a follow-up after that.

[Nighthawk 96]

Thanks for your replies. Decided on a Sleepnumber short queen.

[patricia52]

My husband isn't happy with the mattress because he's 6'2" and his feet hang off. But, I don't think a longer mattress will fit.

[mikmurphy]

yup, the short queen is 75" x 60"; standard queen is 80" long. Adding a 5" longer mattress in the 27DSRL would mean you would not have hardly any room to walk around the mattress once you enter the bedroom. One of the trade-offs, I presume, in having an "Ultralight." Luckily, I'm 6' and shrinking in height, so the short queen will be just fine. ... (and please don't ask about me becoming more gifted in girth!)

I just ordered an innerspring mattress-in-a-box from Camping World. We bought one of these a few years ago for a different Jayco TT we had at the time and it was very comfortable -- but we like a firm mattress. These mattresses are on sale right now with free shipping. Even though it will still be a little short, I think we'll be much more comfortable.

[Nighthawk 96]

I measure 14 inches between the end of my sleepnumber short queen and the sliding door in my 27DSRL. I could slide by in the 8 inches left with a full size queen. On DW side I have mounted 24' tv on the wall. She is short enough to pass under the tv on her way to the head.

[patricia52]

Last night was our first night with our new innerspring mattress from Camping World. What a difference!! It was worth every penny and I would definitely recommend making this purchase.

Strangely enough, we find the stock mattress in the 27DSRL pretty comfortable. I've had most of my lumbar spine fused so fairly firm support is a good thing. What I would like is better air flow and ventilation in the bedroom. It gets darned hot in the bedroom with two people sawing wood, even with both bathroom doors open, windows cracked open at the back of the trailer and the exhaust fan running.

I slept on the new mattress topper last weekend! I slept great! Momma was not with me so I can't say for sure but my guess is she will like it too!

My wife and I both felt the stock stubby queen in our 26SRK sucked. I went to a local family owned mattress store and bought a full sized queen mattress (about 10" thick) that was on closeout. Paid $349 and it's the best money ever spent. Feels just like our bed at home, although a tad smaller (we have a king at home.) I'm 6'2" so my toes still hang off the end unless I get my head right up by the headboard. No more morning backache.

Ditto on the interspring [w/eurotop] from camping world. Have sales all the time and can purchase on-line with free shipping. Comes in a box which is pretty scarey but you'll be a believer after the first and the 21'st night. Kept the one we bought 2 years ago for our previous TT and put it in the new 2014 we picked up in May. The new Jayco supplied mattress is in a plastic bag out in the barn. Bought another reg sized one for the houseboat last year. Same great sleep and 10X better than the reg bed mattress that was replaced.

I ask Jayco if I could purchase an upgrade when I ordered the new one. They don't offer that as an option. I suggested it would be a popular option if they would offer it. Seems a waste to pitch all those reg. foam mattresses that they put in the new one. If you are under 150 lbs the original isn't that bad. Its way better for anybody if you pop [about $400] at Camping world.
