From Roughing It to Resting Easy: American-Made RV Mattress Pads and Toppers
A great road trip starts with a good night’s sleep. You want to feel refreshed to enjoy your adventures and need to be alert on the road. But if your RV mattress keeps you awake because it feels more like you’re sleeping in a tent, an RV mattress topper made in the USA is an affordable way to add a layer of comfort to an uncomfortable RV mattress.
Jump to the list of RV mattress toppers made in the USA, or continue reading to see if a mattress pad or topper is right for you.
Comfort on the Go: Your Home Away from Home
The RV mattress your camper or motorhome came with wasn’t built for luxury. The thin padding and lack of support can leave you tossing, turning, and wishing you were back home.
It took one weekend in our camper to know we had to do something different. We considered upgrading to a new, better-quality RV mattress, but since we have a Murphy bed with a folding mattress in our weekend warrior travel trailer, we decided on an RV mattress topper made in the USA that we could roll up and store on a bunk. The small change made a big difference!
RV Mattress Topper or New RV Mattress: Which is Best for You?
Like us, you might be “tossing around” the decision to get a new RV mattress or opt for an RV mattress topper instead. We have yet to put our Murphy bed up so we can use the couch, and we knew it was unlikely we ever would when we decided on an RV mattress topper. We spend most of our camping time outside. However, we might want to fold the bed and use the couch on a rainy weekend.
If you can’t decide between a new RV mattress or an RV mattress topper, consider:
- Affordability: An RV mattress topper is a budget-friendly way to make your stock camper mattress a lot more comfortable.
- How often you camp: Are you on the road full-time, taking a cross-country trip, or a weekend warrior? If you only sleep in your camper now and then, a mattress topper might be sufficient.
- How far you travel: A good night’s rest is important if you’re on the road for any length of time, but it’s especially important you have mental stamina and clarity that lasts throughout the day if you travel long distances.
- How long you stay: Do you camp for a couple of nights at a time, or do you take lengthy RV vacations? An RV mattress topper made in the USA could be plenty of added comfort for a weekend, but an RV mattress made in the USA is probably better if you sleep in your camper for extended periods.
- Age: Let’s face it, some of us aren’t spring chickens anymore. If you’re in your 20s or 30s, even your early 40s, an RV mattress topper will probably be adequate. But if you’re in your 50s, 60’s, 70’s, and beyond, you’ll probably want to invest in a high-quality RV mattress.
- Storage: Does your RV mattress have special storage needs, like a Murphy bed? Does the mattress fold or need to be lightweight to store? Do you move your mattress to another location for winter storage? Lifting a heavy mattress is difficult, and sticking to a lightweight RV mattress with an RV mattress topper you can roll up might be a better bet.
RV Mattress Toppers vs RV Mattress Pads and Protectors
RV Mattress Toppers: Memory foam toppers are generally 2″-3″ deep and mold to your body to relieve pressure points in the shoulders, hips, and other sensitive areas.
RV Mattress Pads and Protectors: Primarily used to protect your mattress, and elasticized like a fitted RV bed sheet, many protectors have a quilted layer that provides minimal additional comfort. If you’ve upgraded your RV mattress, an RV mattress protector will help safeguard your mattress.
We have an RV mattress topper made in the USA and an RV mattress protector made in the USA on the bed in our camper. We put the protector over the topper and the mattress.
Support American Manufacturing and Sleep Better
When you choose an RV mattress topper or protector made in the USA, you can sleep good at night knowing that your purchase supports American workers, ethical labor practices, and the United States economy. In addition, the shorter shipping distance has a reduced carbon footprint making it an eco-friendly choice. It really is a choice you can feel good about!
