Twin Mattresses for converted bed from twin to queen

[scjelneck]

Hello, from Steven and Michele Jelneck Hull #1444.

We purchased the Foy twin bed converter.  Wondering if people are using all Oliver mattresses or those from a different manufacturer?  Wondering what the thickness is and cost of those from a different manufacturer.

We have purchased two Brooklyn Bedding high-end hybrid mattresses for our home and love them. Made in Phoenix, so we can drive down to try them out and drive it home. They make their Dreamfoam Essential in a dozen different RV sizes. They roll them up and boxed shipped CONUS no additional charge.

We have the twin bed layout, so we bought two 30" x 75" mattresses. They come in 6, 8, 10, 12, 14" sizes. We went with 10" thickness which is a bit tall for sitting but wanted 3 layers of foam density (2 layers in 6-8" mattresses). The 8" might be a better height but firmer and the 10" is med-firm.

We removed the stitching in one corner to bare the foam and then with a long insulation knife I cut the radius from a template I made of cardboard. We could have sewn the cover back, but just tacked it and the mattress cover holds it together nicely.

We have our original matresses but have switched to foam.  We bought a 10” queen foam mattress at Costco, cut it in half and used the old mattresses as a template for the corner curve.  They were very comfortable but a bit tall.  We got an 8” gel memory foam queen mattress on Amazon and did the same drill.  We’ve had this for the last 2 to 3 years and they are also very comfortable and the height is better. A queen is 60” wide, the Oliver twins are 30” wide, so half a queen mattress.  Mike
