[Review] Not Your Typical RV Upgrade: Custom RV Mattress by MattressInsider

An upgrade we never would of thought about, but has been one of our favorites to date, is our custom made RV Mattress by Mattress Insider. Buying a new camper, we never would have thought we’d have to invest in a new mattress for it. Turns out, the mattresses that go into RVs are kind of a piece of junk. We kept ours for over a year but this summer we thought to ourselves, ‘this is getting ridiculous.’ Tyson and I are both side sleepers and we knew it was time to do something when we were waking up sore and able to feel the wood on our hips (sounds dramatic but really we could feel hardness beneath our sides).

We’ve never had a new mattress so when this one showed up it was pretty exciting. It’s worth mentioning that the box the mattress shows up in is definitely manageable. Once we got it out of the box and onto the bed, it expanded to its normal size within just a few minutes.
Probably one of our favorite features is the fact that you get two mattresses in one. One side is firmer than the other so you can simply flip it to the side you prefer. Pay attention to the tag that tells you which side is which (we didn’t when we were excited to get it on the bed and then had to search to see what side we had up). We personally prefer firmer beds and the firm side is definitely a happy medium. Not terribly firm but not too soft.

The organic cover would not solely convince us to go with this particular mattress, although it is a very soft and seemingly durable material. It’s also environmentally friendlier, hypoallergenic and allows for optimal breathability. Tyson is a very hot sleeper and so this is something we’ve noticed. The organic cotton cover is actually placed over Mattress Insider’s Cool-Max gel memory foam. Not only is this extremely comfortable but it won’t feel like you’re sleeping on plastic. Both the cover and the Cool-Max tech will allow for breathability and airflow.

Of course the coolest part of this mattress is the fact that Mattress Insider can make you any size or shape mattress AND custom sheets to fit your custom mattress. We decided to make our mattress an inch longer than our original one which is so nice since RV mattresses are typically shorter and Tyson and I are both taller people. All you have to do is contact them for specifics on the size and shape you prefer.

You’ll also notice some funky looking material coming up the side of our mattress. Turns out we had some mold and mildew growing under our mattress (and you may too!) and to solve this, we installed Mattress Insider’s Aire-Flow™ Moisture Barrier. This barrier sits between the plywood platform of the mattress and the mattress and allows air to reach beneath the mattress. Circulating air under the mattress will not allow for condensation to build up which will hopefully fix our mold problem!

Mattress Insider is the place to head for all of your RV sleep system needs. Even if you love your RV mattress, isn’t it time to get some custom-fitted sheets for it? Get rid of those baggy sheets you’ve been using and get some 300-thread count comfy and soft sheets that fit correctly. You won’t be disappointed!
