Has anyone used this mattress from Sam's Club in their Pod?:

Do not have that mattress but got a similar (i think) one from camping world that came shipped in a roll, like the one at Sam's. We purchased ours in 2011 (after using the existing mattress 3x) from Camping World for $ 199.00 including shipping. That was a huge sale price - the mattress is called a Euro Top, we still use it today and is extremely comfortable. I think the list when we purchased it was $ 299.00 so we jumped at the opportunity because at the time quite a few others talked about what a great mattress is was. AND . . . . . . they were right.

Jon, if that is anything like the one we got from Camping World - mattress rolled up like a jelly roll. Stand back when you cut the plastic liner, it will explode in front of your eyes and lay flat on your luan platform where the bed mattress is supposed to be. Pretty neat.

If you want to be safe, just cut it open outside of the pod and let er rip! You will need a helper to get the mattress situated in the pod however.

Measure twice (or three times), cut once. Use the trim ring to verify placement and size of the opening before you cut. You can make a cardboard template (which is what I did) and use that to help with placement and marking of the opening location. Cover the door with masking tape and mark on that and cut with it in place to protect the door. I cut from the inside. Drill a starting hole inside the marking for the opening and use a fine-toothed blade in your jigsaw. Go slow so you cut smoothly. Use a thin and not a wide blade so you can pivot at the corners easier.
If anything, cut the opening a bit smaller and enlarge it carefully as you go. You definitely don't want to cut it big. It is easy to cut a bit more out. You can't easily put material back if you cut it too big. |
