The Best RV Mattress of 2025

Why We Like It

Our team tested all three of the Signature Hybrid’s firmness levels. The medium soft (4) design provides close contouring, so it was well received by our side sleepers weighing up to 230 pounds and back sleepers under 130 pounds. Those seeking maximum support should consider the firm (8) model — back and stomach sleepers weighing at least 130 pounds awarded the highest marks to this design. The medium firm (6) feel offers the best balance of cushioning, reinforcement, and responsiveness. We recommend this model to sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds no matter which sleep position they use.

Each firmness has distinct pros and cons. The medium soft design isolates motion well and conforms deeply enough to reduce pressure along the spine, but this model may sink along the edges and hinder movement across the surface. We also noticed some heat retention in the top foam layers. Conversely, the medium firm and firm models feel very sturdy along the perimeter and push back against your weight — but couples may find these options disruptive due to motion transfer, and pressure relief is somewhat limited.

How Does It Feel?

Medium soft and medium firm Signature Hybrids begin with a top layer of memory foam, creating a cushy surface that forms a cradle around your body’s unique contours. The firm model features TitanFlex polyfoam, a material that’s more responsive — this creates a light bounce when you get in and out of bed. VariFlex transitional foam creates a barrier between your body and the support core.

Pocketed coils and dense base foam make the mattress feel quite stable. The cover is composed of a breathable cotton-polyester blend, and quilted with soft foam to add some plushness on the surface. You can upgrade your mattress to include an additional foam layer encased in cooling GlacioTex fabric. A total of 15 sizes are available, including eight options specifically geared toward RV owners.

The Helix Midnight was specifically designed for side sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds, but our hands-on tests show the mattress is a good match for most side and back sleepers weighing up to 230 pounds. If you fall outside this weight and sleep position range, another Helix mattress might be more suitable.

Edge support is solid thanks to the reinforced perimeter coils. Most of our testers had little trouble getting on and off the mattress. We also found the Midnight isolates motion and alleviates pressure better than most competing hybrids — this can be attributed to thick foam layers in the comfort system. You might feel some heat retention from the foam. If you’re a hot sleeper, the cooling GlacioTex cover upgrade may be worth the extra money.

How Does It Feel?

We’ve rated the Midnight as medium firm (6). You’ll notice a light bounce when you get into bed, followed by deep cradling from the memory foam as your body settles into the surface. Light contouring ensures you get the cushioning and cradling you need without too much sinkage. That said, people who weigh more than 230 pounds may need a firmer mattress.

Standard Midnight models come with covers made of knit polyester. For an extra fee, you can add a cover made of GlacioTex, a fabric engineered to dissipate body heat on contact. In addition to the six standard mattress sizes, the Midnight is available in short queen and RV king sizes.

It’s hard to find a well-made foam hybrid as affordably priced as Brooklyn Bedding’s Dreamfoam Hybrid that also comes in multiple RV sizes. There aren’t a lot of bells and whistles with this mattress, but it should deliver night after night of quality sleep while you’re on the road. A balanced medium firm (6) design ensures a comfy mix of cushioning for your sore spots and pushback around the heavier areas of your body. Our hands-on tests show this mattress is particularly well suited to side and back sleepers who weigh up to 230 pounds.

The Dreamfoam Hybrid’s four-layer design begins with plush fibers encased in a cooling fabric – this is intended to minimize heat buildup and keep your surface cool. A 2.5-inch memory foam comfort layer provides close, even cushioning without hugging your body too closely. A cooling gel infusion helps dissipate heat as your body settles into the mattress.

The support core contains robust pocketed coils over dense base foam. These components help stabilize the mattress and keep your body on an even plane. Five RV-friendly sizes are available in addition to standard mattress sizes.

After testing all five of the Dreamfoam Essential’s profiles, our team concluded the 10-inch medium firm (6) model feels the most balanced. This model contours moderately and evenly with gentle cushioning and sturdy overall support. Our testers who enjoy exceptionally soft mattresses also felt comfortable on the 12-inch medium (5) and 14-inch medium soft (4) models, whereas those of us who prefer less conforming gave higher ratings to the 8-inch firm (7) and 6-inch firm (8) models.

There are pros and cons to each profile. The thinner options may feel firmer, but lack the robust support cores needed to provide consistent reinforcement — as a result, people over 230 pounds may still sink a bit. However, the softer models lack sturdy perimeters, so you may compress the edges when getting in and out of bed.

Dreamfoam Essentials measuring 10, 12, and 14 inches thick feel quite plush. Their memory foam layers soften after coming into contact with body heat and form a close, pressure-relieving cradle. These models are a good match for side sleepers, especially those weighing 230 pounds or less. If you’re a back or stomach sleeper in this weight range, you should also receive adequate support from the 10-inch model.

The 6-inch and 8-inch Essentials don’t contour as deeply, but you’ll still notice some cushioning from their foam comfort layers. If these models ultimately prove too thin, you can build the profile by using a mattress topper. Keep in mind you won’t be able to exchange your mattress for a different profile during the 120-night trial period. A total of 22 sizes are available, most of which are specifically intended for RVs and campers.

We found that the MobilePlush’s pressure-relieving capabilities made it particularly suitable for the side sleepers on our testing team. People who sleep on their side can develop pressure points at their hips and shoulders unless their mattress contours around these vulnerable areas, but the MobilePlush distributes weight evenly to avoid this problem. Stomach and back sleepers may also enjoy the MobilePlush, but the mattress’ medium (5) firmness and deep contouring may lack the support required by those over 230 pounds.

Most RV mattresses have a noticeably different feel than standard beds, which is partially due to the low profile required by many RVs. It’s a top choice for RV owners who require a low-profile mattress, while still being comfortable enough to also be a popular pick for shoppers who are able to consider a thicker bed.

The MobilePlush uses a proprietary ultra-dense memory foam that we found provides deep contouring and excellent pressure relief despite the bed’s 6-inch profile. Although the MobilePlush uses synthetic foams, it may still appeal to people interested in an eco-conscious design. PlushBeds uses soy-based polyols in its memory foam, and its products are both GREENGUARD Gold and CertiPUR-US certified, ensuring the mattress is free of harmful materials and harsh chemical emissions.

The Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe excels at temperature control – a performance area where many foam hybrids fall short. Copper, phase change, and cooling gel infusions in the cover and comfort layers help the surface resist heat buildup and maintain a comfortable temperature. This can be especially useful during RV treks to hot or humid areas.

Our team tested each of the three firmness levels. We found the medium soft (4) model best suited to side sleepers up to 230 pounds and back sleepers under 130 pounds, while the firm (8) design was more supportive for side and back sleepers over 230 pounds and stomach sleepers weighing at least 130 pounds. Those seeking a balance of cushioning, pushback, and bounce should opt for the medium firm (6) – this model was most popular among our testers between 130 and 230 pounds.

How Does It Feel?

The Aurora Luxe’s Euro-top comfort system contains two layers of plush, adaptive polyfoam over dense transitional memory foam. These materials contour evenly to distribute your weight, promote even alignment, and reduce pressure points along the spine – though how close they conform depends on which firmness you choose.

The support core’s pocketed coils are zoned to provide more pushback beneath your torso and hips, and to limit sinkage along the perimeter when you get in and out of bed or sleep close to the edges of the mattress. A high-density base foam layer rounds out the hybrid design. For extra plushness and cooling, you can upgrade to a “Cloud Pillow Top” design with an extra foam layer encased in heat-dissipating GlacioTex fabric.
