You need to know your preferences in a mattress. Most memory foam mattresses will have some 'sink' in them. Some have a lot of sink and you feel like you are surrounded by the mattress. My wife and I had a Select Comfort for over 20 years and loved it. We have one in the coach too and love it. It allows us to each select the level of support we want and we don't sink. Neither of us like sinking into the mattress...we bought a memory form recently for the S&B. Very disappointed, but some people prefer them.

We bought a gel infused memory foam. It was to stiff. Hurt or joints. Bought a topper from Wally world and it good now.

We bought a 10" Dynasty gel foam out of Amazon. Great mattress.

I also did an Amazon foam mattress in a little box, 10 I think.
It's way better than the RV mattress, not as good as sleep number at home, but gets the job done on the cheap.

I bought an 8 inch memory foam from Wayfair. Reasonable and very comfortable. You can find 'queen Short' that fit better but sometimes they are a bit more expensive!

We replaced our lousy factory foam mattress with a pocket coil spring from mattressinsider.com about a year ago and could not be happier. Probably the best mattress I've ever owned. If I still had a stick and brick house I'd get one for there also.

After a few trips on that we replaced the one in sticks and bricks with the same brand.

Come in bunch of sizes and thicknesses. Price point is nice too.
That's the one we bought too. Best $200 ever spent.

Is this Froli system designed to replace the "box spring"? Is that the intent?
I assume you just put your regular mattress on these spring-like things.

We never slept on the clunk that Keystone supplied. Part of the deal was to take the 3 month old Simmons out of the trade and install in the new 5er. That mattress was identical to what we had at the time in the S&B. If your 5er has a non standard length like many RVs, a special order can be often made at your supplier

I agree. Just buy what you would put in the house.

Bought a Purple 2 Cal king, it actually measures 72"W X 80"L, same size as the RV king torture device that came in our rig. I also added rigid support under the center of the lattice frame so it doesn't sag in the middle. We sleep like babies now, better than the fancy stick/brick rack. Dogs are happy too.....
