2017 28 RBQ - Sitting up in bed???

[philly_air]

We have a 2017 28RBQ. We'd like to be able to sit up in bed at night to read or watch TV but that would have us leaning against the screen of the window behind our bed.

Has anyone found a good solution for this?

I got a piece of plywood and cut the height just under the lever for the windows and made it the width of the bed. Took it to an upholstery place and had them cover it with faux leather and 1 1/2" foam. It rests on the aluminum and not on the window. Looks like it is going to work very well. We do not have the wrap around windows as we have closets in the corners. Not sure if it would be possible with the wrap around windows or not. Testing it out it seems the mattress may want to slide down. I am making a retainer out of 1/4" aluminum rod to keep the mattress from sliding down.
I have attached a picture if it works.

In my 25FB Twin, I just use a couple of pillows, one large, one medium.

Camping World has wedge pillows that work for this, but the headboard suggested is likely a best solution. Pat

We have experienced the same issue in our 2017 28' Serenity. So far I either use two pillows or a pillow and the dog. I like the idea of a more elegant solution (Americal) but haven't gotten around to coming up with one. The only issue I see is storage space and impact on that is a consideration.

When we want to watch a movie in our rear bedroom International Ocean Breeze 28, we bring the wedge shaped back cushion from our forward gaucho to the bed. It’s a perfect fit between the two wardrobes.

The headboard solution should be a standard AS option. It fills the radius and sqares up the mattress. It is a compromise as to space, but if you accept the concept there is space for a full Queen in the East/West configurations. The raising head bed on the Classic covers it all well. Guess it would be possible to install a lift on the head that was a manual operation configuration for simplicity. The problem is that a good mattress will be heavy and stiff.

Storage - we use the wedges all the time. With the pointy end toward the foot it raises the head to mitigate snoring and accomodates a bit of unlevel if the trailer is not perfect. Flip them and they are a back pillow for sitting up. So, no storage problem. Pat

Ditto SSquared! Two pillows...but the Venetian style blinds do get crushed if not careful
I like the extra upholstered board idea

There are many sources (including WM) for Bed Wedges that may work for you.

You can put one of your pillows between it and the wall and that will hold it away from the window coverings.

Thanks, we have a 2018 28RBQ, I would like to see pictures of the upholstered board idea.
