RBD Posted July 3, 2021 Posted July 3, 2021 Have researched the forum on all mattress options. Question: Is the KTT Mattress comfortable for side sleepers? Listed firmness is N5, but not sure it will be soft enough. With material & shipping cost increases there is very little difference in the price between Southern Mattress & KTT. Elite 1: KTT upgrade $1,200 Elite 1: Southern Mattress $950 ($800 + $150 shipping) - no longer will ship to Oliver, your home only.
Patwv Posted July 3, 2021 Posted July 3, 2021 Hi I'm a side sleeper and I find the KTT mattress to be very comfortable. I like a firm mattress. Hope this helps. Pat
Jim_Oker Posted July 3, 2021 Posted July 3, 2021 Ditto - side sleeper (with some badly compressed cervical discs and related stenosis btw, so I'm pretty sensitive to pillow setup and mattress type), I like relatively firm but not rock hard. The KTT felt a little soft at first touch but I sleep great on to the point that I now am thinking I may need a latex mattress at home now to replace my 20 y/o memory foam mattress with its divots. Is that Southern Mattress made of latex foam or some other material? We have a custom mattress maker near us (they also sell some standard models but have a significant business for custom work for things like RVs and boats) who quoted me well more than the KTT cost for a pair of latex mattresses for the E2, but they also quoted synthetic foam at a much lower cost...

RBD Posted July 3, 2021 Author Posted July 3, 2021 Think the Southern Mattress is regular foam with a memory foam topper. Read the KTT latex sleeps cooler which is a big plus in the Southwest. Was hoping KTT N5 latex was medium to medium-soft for shoulder & hip pressure points.
Moderators SeaDawg Posted July 3, 2021 Moderators Posted July 3, 2021 Moving a very heavy mattress to access the plumbing and jacks , etc, beneath the elite I bed would be a daunting task for me. And, I don't know where I'd put it. Hardrock had a custom mattress designed at Southern, split 1/3 , 2/3, so a portion could be lifted and moved over. Many boat mattresses are made this way, especially vberth. I thought it was a grand idea. I wonder if ktt would do the same? 2008 Ram 1500 4 × 4 2008 Oliver Elite, Hull #12 Florida and Western North Carolina, or wherever the truck goes.... 400 watts solar. DC compressor fridge.

RBD Posted July 3, 2021 Author Posted July 3, 2021 Elite 1 KTT mattress is 3 piece due to the weight.
Moderators SeaDawg Posted July 3, 2021 Moderators Posted July 3, 2021 Well, I'd say that's a good thing. Split over each bench, plus the bigger middle? 2008 Ram 1500 4 × 4 2008 Oliver Elite, Hull #12 Florida and Western North Carolina, or wherever the truck goes.... 400 watts solar.

GraniteStaters Posted July 3, 2021 Posted July 3, 2021 I find the KTT mattress a little too hard but David likes it. I am more of a side sleeper and he is more of a back sleeper. Paula David Caswell and Paula Saltmarsh Hull 509 "The Swallow"
