Upgraded Airstream Mattress

Has anyone tried the one from the Airstream store? It seems to be an upgraded one. Our 2016 isnt bad, but its not great. I sleep on my side and its too thin, get pressure on my hip.

https://store.airstream.com/product/...lush-mattress/

I wonder who makes this for Airstream..

We bought one of the mattress toppers from Costco, cut it to fit the corner bed in our 23CB and love it.

We purchased a Casper Mattress and it fits fine in our 25fb. We didn't have to cut it down at all. We own two Casper mattresses in our home and we love them. We had a Temperpedic for years and we like the Casper much better. We just lengthened the bed a bit with a piece of plywood and we now sleep MUCH better!

We ordered two twin luxury cool memory foam mattresses from mattressinsider.com for out 2004 Classic. $400 each. Custom shaped to the trailer. They are much more comfortable than the $3000 memory foam mattress we have in our master bedroom at home!

We went another direction. We bought a pair of Thermarest Mondo King 3D self-inflating mattress pads to go on our queen bed platform. They are incredibly comfortable. Just have to remember to open a valve on each pad before we depart for our next camping destination so they can breathe as we change altitude along the way. Before bedtime we close the air valves again, and then we dream the night away.

We cut a 2 inch memory foam to fit our twins and it makes a big difference .
I think we paid $119 for a king memory foam topper and cut it to size using the mattresses as templates

Just as an aside...

Our twin mattresses rested on 1/4" plywood that was:
1) 4" too narrow
2) unsupported in the center.
3) had a gap on the wall (over the outside storage boxes)

Per the sleep number rep we spoke to, don’t forget to deflate to a reading of 50 before hitting the road. If you gain significant elevation without doing this, you risk stretching the air bag(s) and ruining the bed.

Thanks for the reminder! We are heading west in June and I had completely forgotten about this. The good news is we normally run at 45 or lower so it probably doesn't matter but we may have to deflate to get the same comfort level.

Upgraded Airstream Mattress

Good plan. When we drove from 2000 feet to 7000 feet and camped there, every closed container was poofed up due to the change in air pressure. Everything, that is, except our self-inflating Thermarest mattresses, on which we had (thankfully!) remembered to open the valves that morning before starting out.

So we bought two 3/4" birch plywood sheets ( European 5'x5' ) and removed the thin AS plywood and used them as templates to make new bed foundations.
The foundations are wider and longer to match the actual mattress size.

We also bought new foam mattresses that were 80" long and can now be reversed.

While at it we shored up the sagging portion of the old foundation.

A fun upgrade.

Does anyone have a template for the twin beds in a 25FBT?

Picking it up soon and would like to pre-cut some mattress pads.

Thanks,

matt

We bought the exact same brand/model mattress that we sleep on at home for our FC25FB. A 80" queen mattress will fit inside the FC25FB's 8'6" length bedroom. This is a great upgrade for those who are taller than the camper-queen mattress or for those who want to sleep on the same mattress as home in their Airstream.

When you installed an 80 inch mattress did you extend the plywood base?

No I did not. The 14" thick mattress we purchased was stiff enough that the extra six inches of overhang was not an issue. Here is the one we use: https://www.samsclub.com/sams/serta-...lp_product_1_1

2018 classic. We kept the original mattress and did what some recommended. Mattress topper and queen size sheet set with sheet straps to keep everything on. We use king size comforter for extra warmth and blanket hangover for making bed

Our Classic with twins had unused space at the foot of the beds. We have a Sleep Number P5 at home and love it. Last year they put the C2 on a ridiculous sale. The major differences between the P5 and the C2 are the cover and the thickness of the foam. We figured with our typical use the cover wouldn't matter but we got foam toppers and put them on the C2 to get the P5-equivalent thickness. The pumps fit perfectly in a space under the bed between the rear wall of the side storage compartments and the front wall of the rear storage compartment.

I cut some 3/8 plywood to extend the length and width of the platform and just put it on top of the existing platform for the time being. I need to take about an inch off of each side of the nightstand top and I'll re-do the plywood to make it all one piece to replace the existing. I'll do that when I replace the drop-down doors for the under bed storage with drawers.

Al
