I might be the first CL owner to install a sleepnumber this spring.   I will post how it goes if I can make it work.

You know, we have one in storage we could bring to bear. I never thought of it.

Marshal Bill, I think I found the manufacturer of the Black Label mattress;  Lippert Components. It is in their Ever Series line.    Here is the link: http://lci1.com/ever-series-mattresses
There is a link on the site to find dealers.

Good research.Who wud'a thunk Lippert, the metal fabs guys who make RV chassis components and axles? I suspect they bought a mattress company to grab another piece of the RV market. Works for me.

I'll visit my LL dealer and see if that bed fits my particular slumber needs  (rofl)... I'm guessing they should be able to order me one???$$$
I'll also call the manufacturer provided in your link.
If anyone knows of an aftermarket dealer for that mattress at a cheaper price please let me know...

Our CoolMax matttress can be used on either side; one side for the supper soft and the other for more firmer bed. Did the local store not show you this? I do believe that Mattress Insiders does have a return policy if you don't like the mattress.  I would give them a call to see what they have to say.

The owner of the store offered the 100 night return as well...
Still looking...

I ordered a mattress yesterday - Hope it works out...
I found this "Priage Memory Foam" mattress [a href="http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Priage-Green-Tea-Charcoal-6-inch-Queen-size-Memory-Foam-Mattress/6756787/product.html?refccid=DMM5XYZ7G3MKB2SIZRRLW2XCRQ&searchidx=1"]here.

I[/a] selected this mattress for a few reasons:
[ul type="disc"][li]Firm[/li][li]Made in USA[/li][li]"CertiPUR-US" Certified
[/li][/ul][div]
The mattress is a discontinued model from [a href="http://www.spiritsleep.com"]Spirit Sleep[/a] located in Asheville, NC

If you are looking for a mattress, this website can answer a lot of your questions:  www.sleeplikethedead.com
I'll let you know how the mattress works out...

We use a Queen size air mattress.

Negligible weight addition

I bought this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00474X5DO/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and it has worked great so far.  It's a 10 inch memory foam mattress.

Don't know about the factory upgraded mattress.  We bought a nice super firm memory foam for our old white box O death.  Still got it, will move to new camper.

As far as moisture, I think all trailers will do this given the right weather conditions.  Our old one did it and no ill affects to the mattress so far, 5 years and counting.

Found Mattress we bought:

It is expensive but NICE!  They make this in a full size queen as well:

My 14DBS also came with the Queen Size Black Label Mattress, I have slept on it about 10 night's now and I think it's very comfortable.

We had success at Ikea. I also increased the gas struts on the bead to lift the weight.
