Memory Foam Mattress
If anyone is wanting a memory foam mattress for their home or RV, go to Bed In a Box and become a "Fan" on Facebook. They are giving away free mattresses and pillows! They are trying to build their business through the internet and each time they hit a certain number of "fans" they have a give a way! They also have sporadic give-a-ways and I'm trying to win another one for the house!

New Bed Came Today
Last Wednesday, I ordered the new foam mattress for our RV. It is an 11 inch foam mattress from Bed in a Box. We ordered the Pac Bed Plus mattress which is 8 inches of support foam and 3 inches of memory foam. They have a few other options with down covers on them, but I felt this was the best one for us. I did order the waterproof cover for $30, as they say water is the enemy of foam mattresses. No, we don’t wet the bed :)…if that’s what you’re thinking…but when it’s hot sometimes you get sweaty and I didn’t want to damage it.
One thing about foam, is they are hotter than regular mattresses. The way we have dealt with that on our home mattress is a we have a thick cotton mattress pad for summer, and the regular one for winter when we like the extra warmth.
Fed Ex brought it around noon today in a smallish box.
Hard to believe there is an 11 inch thick queen size mattress in that box, isn’t it?
We took the box inside the motor home to open it up. The mattress is vacuum sealed, rolled up, wrapped in a heavy plastic bag, and cellophane and then inserted in a heavy plastic duffel bag, and then packed in the box.
You are supposed to take off the outer saran wrap and then lay the mattress down where you want it. The next layer is a plastic bag that is supposed to keep it compressed until you remove the plastic wrapping. While trying to get it out of the plastic bag, it started expanding. I was afraid it would be hard to handle once it expanded, but it wasn’t. We let it expand while on the bed frame. We just had to move it into the correct position.
It is supposed to take about 24 hours before it expands fully, but it looks to me like it is there now.
Oh, with the bed we got 2 free “ugly” pillows. They are chunks of foam and actually are pretty comfortable. Here is what they looked like before they decompressed!
We laid on it a while and both of us agree it is very comfortable. It is every bit as comfy as our house bed, and a lot cheaper. Of course we haven’t spent the night on it yet, but we did watch a movie on it. We’ll probably spend the night in the motorhome tomorrow night, and give it a good test!
So far, it’s a thumbs up!
We’re trying to get things done to make the motorhome more livable when we go full time. It’s definitely getting there in the comfort factor!

Ordered our Foam Bed
I went on to the Bed in a Box website to show Al the mattresses I had discovered last week. They are made with the new technology memory foam…which means less heat, quicker bounce back, and not as hard as the old style foam mattresses. Al noticed that they have a sale which ends today.Since he is not one for missing out on a good sale, he suggested we go ahead and order the bed :)
We decided to order the 11 inch thick mattress in the RV queen size. It comes with 2 free pillows and free shipping.
We thought about ordering the regular 60 x 80 queen bed, but decided to go with the rv queen size which is 5 inches shorter and $100 cheaper.
The air mattress we currently use is 80 inches, and hangs a little off the bed frame. When I bring the slide in, it just squeezes in to fit. I was concerned the foam wouldn’t like being squeezed in each time we brought the slide in, so we went with the regular rv size.
I had seen something a few years back where someone took a wedge of foam the same thickness as their mattress, and put it between the wall and the mattress. It gave them a few more inches in length and the wedge was under their head and pillows anyway. It could be removed when the slide went in. This might be an option.
Anyway, we made the decision without having tried out the bed. We normally don’t buy things that need to be comfortable without trying them out. This place offers a 120 day guarantee. If you’re not happy with the mattress, they will make arrangements to pick it up and return your money. Sounds like a good deal. We’re anxious to get it.
