camper bed: Will it keep me from feeling the springs in my camper bed?

we put one of these (queen size) in our bed that was in our travel trailer and it made a HUGE difference. We also put one on our pull out sofa and did wonders padding the springs and steel support bars. You can still feel the support bars a little but it did make a big improvement.

My son teenage sun is only 115lbs and he said he felt every spring and metal bar. I put one of those mattress pads on it and he said it was way more comfortable. I weight 168 and i feel as if it will collapse under me! Plus the heavier the person the more squeaky it gets.

the mattress is heavy and it will not slide off of your box spring, as long as you dont have plastic on your box springs !

It doesn't ruin the firm feeling of a mattress. It has enough thickness to not feel the wires, though. One thing I recently noticed (not sure if it's a recent defect, but I think it is) is that it doesn't heat to the end (or top) of the mattress by about a foot on either end. Leaves my feet freezing cold!

The key word is "help". Yes, it helps, but only with frequent repositioning of the bed's occupant. My mother, who has back problems and fragile skin, finds it very comfortable. I, however, see a deep sag in the gel foam topper even when the bed goes unoccupied for several hours at a stretch. I have turned the pad over, and end for end, but the sag remains. Still, my mother enjoys it greatly and we have seen no bed sores.

I can't feel any springs, seems to be foam. But I love the chair, it's extremely comfortable and I keep it clean with a 4 piece chair cover I got on Amazon. I would recommend it.

I do not use mine on the bed. I put it under my feet for 10-15 mins. That's all it takes to make a difference in how I feel.

I guess it depends on how prominent the bar is. I think it would greatly reduce the amount you feel the bar, even if it is really bad. I have used similar foam toppers over bad spring mattresses with super results.

Box springs makes yur matress last long. But with the slats you dont 'need' one. They work like wooded slats but all metal

It should be snug. This pad is used on top of a 3'' memory foam in our camper. I couldn't tell you exactly how thin that mattress is right now, but if your familiar with camper mattresses, most are very thin. I would guess that with the memory foam, the pad is covering at least 9" and is very snug. This pad works great to provide protection and also extra comfort.

The instructions in the manual should make it clear. I remember I had to use a little force with the springs.

Not as I know of. I'm about 370 lbs and I use in my camper every day. I have had this unit for about a year. It is so simple it works for me.

It is a firm mattress, and yes you can slightly feel the springs. Keep in mind that although this is a solid bed and a great value, I do not think it is meant for long term use. By that, I mean it is more a bed for kids and smaller people 100 pounds or less. We bought this for our 4 year old and will be happy if we get a few years of use out of it before we upgrade him to a high quality mattress. It would be a GREAT bed with a 3 or 4" gel foam topper. Hope this helps!

Hello Andrew, I am unaware of my couch having springs... The cushions are foam on my couch. There is an area on this site that may help if you go to Your Account/ Orders/ under More Orders Actions it says Return or Replace items. I have not tried it myself yet but it may be helpful to you. Good luck!

Be sure to take the tension off the sway control if backing sharply. Otherwise, I haven't had any backing into my driveway or campground.

I used it last fall and I do not recall it feeling hot. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised how comfortable it is in our camper.

If memory serves, their larger beds have a large, elevated beam running down the middle, annyway. So, six_one, half dozen the other... W/a memory foam bed, I doubt you'd feel much of a bump in the middle. Another reason to never buy another box spring mattress.
