On our recent trip to Silver City, we had the opportunity to sleep in the coach for seven nights. Even with the mods I did to gain more foot room ( http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/showgallery.php?cat=5490 ), neither my wife, Kathy, nor I slept very well. Part of it was the leak that would sometimes drip on my head, but I think we finally narrowed the cause down to a too firm mattress.
The rear bedroom had been converted to a permanent bed by the PO. He had installed an inner spring mattress on a plywood platform, as many people have. It works great, especially with the additional foot room from my recent mod, except for the firmness of the mattress. I have heard some of the options, such as foam, a foam mattress with a memory foam topper, air beds like the Bear Bed or Select Comfort (what we sleep on at home), etc and am wondering how these various set-ups have been working out for others.
I was really disappointed that the foot board modification did not make much of a difference in the quality of sleep we get in the motorhome and would like to remedy the situation,
Thanks
