RBD Posted July 3, 2021 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patwv Posted July 3, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_Oker Posted July 3, 2021 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SeaDawg Posted July 3, 2021 Moderators Share 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.

Moderators SeaDawg Posted July 3, 2021 Moderators Share 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 Share 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.
