21-G Momentum, Mattress Upgrades

[jhadhome]

Hi, my wife and I just purchased a 2020 21-G toy hauler a couple of weeks ago and are new to this site. We are wondering if anyone has upgraded the bedroom mattress, which is hard as a rock. If so, where did you purchase your mattress, were in Southern California? Also, what has anyone done for the Happy Jack couch/bed to make it more comfortable, so lumpy? We were thinking about a 2" to 3" memory foam mattress but storing it the trailer seems to be the problem for us!

Any and all ideas and thoughts will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Welcome to the forum! I went ahead and added your info to the signature portion of your profile. Feel free to edit as you see fit (info in Welcome Letter linked off of the home page).

A great way to find information on this forum is...to NOT use this forum. (!) Seriously, using Google or DuckDuckGo to search but limiting the results to this forum will reward you with many, many threads to read.

Try this--enter mattress site:gdrvowners.com into your search engine of choice. In DuckDuckGo, I got the list below.



For the other issue, try alternate spelling like Happi site:gdrvowners.com when searching.

I hope that helps.

Again, welcome!

The stock mattresses in travel trailers are simply place holders designed for aesthetic purposes only. Everyone usually buys their own mattress to suit their own needs.

the bedroom mattress is usually a stock size (at least most of them) Just measure it and find one you like.

For the happy jack, figure out what is making it lumpy. Is it a cross bar or something? Can you plywood the deck under the mattress to make it more uniform and add an in flatable mattress that you can deflate when raising so it works properly?

We have a 21G and agree with you completely about the terrible mattresses.

We ended up getting 3"-4" toppers for the main bed, and both happi-jack beds. They seem to work well. The only issues is the extra bulk.

The bed mattress is a "split" mattress with one half being thicker than the other. Makes it impossible to replace without some customization.

The happi-jack "bed" is made from the opposite benches folding into a bed. The lumpiness is the shape of the benches. We found toppers were the best solution for us.
