I haven't tried the carving knife. Have you any shears? We finally did a crude job by making multiple passes with a box cutter after compressing the cut line between plywood and a comfortable straightedge I kneeled on when making the cuts.

Just get an "RV Queen" mattress. Way less work.

My wife & I do not like the mattress in our 2019 191, too many back-aches.
 I am thinking of buying a standard queen foam mattress, about 5-6" thick. It would need cutting down to proper size. I was told that an electric carving knife may be the best way to cut it? Has anyone done this or something similar.
