 Hey birdwatchers, it's Robin with Creativity RV. I hope you're all doing well out there. So if you follow my channel you know that I just switched to a 16-foot baby peanut airstream that I love. There are some things that I need to modify in here to make it a better full-time living space and the first thing I have to fix I'm going to tell you about today. Now if you guys saw my last video where I gave you a tour of my little 16-foot airstream you know that this is a very small space especially if you're going full-time. So I'm working on a few things like the hot water and the refrigerator and power and I tore my back legs off like a rookie. So I need to work on that as well but before all of that I decided I cannot camp another night in this rig without addressing the mattress. Seriously my stock mattress is painful and frustrating and I'm sick of waking up tired and with a sore back. If you guys are RVers you know that the original mattresses that come with RVs kind of suck. I mean seriously yikes this is a standard RV mattress that you see below here. It is nothing. It is like sleeping on wood but when I bought this little baby peanut airstream I first sat on the bed and I thought oh my god it's so comfortable because the prior owner put a topper on it which is great when you just sit down for a minute. The problem is when you're full-time in a rig like this there's no recliner. There's no place to just chill out. So I have to make my bed into like a daybed area where I can hang out and sleep at night and for me living in this RV the bed turned into a real issue. I thought that I could go outside and hang out you know in my camp chair but like many of you have experienced this year the weather's been pretty heinous. I mean it's super windy right now just like it's been every other day so there have been days that I have been trapped in here hanging out either at the dinette which is not comfortable or back in my bed and you know day after day waking up with a stiff neck I decided that I had to find a solution. So I started asking around and every friend that I asked had a Brooklyn bedding RV mattress and they absolutely raved about it so when they reached out to me to see if I wanted to review one of their mattresses you better believe I jumped all over it. If you're about to start an RV life know this RV mattresses come in funky sizes you can't just go down to your local store and buy a queen mattress let's say and it will fit as a queen mattress in your RV you have to get an RV queen well that's one of the reasons that I loved Brooklyn bedding because they have a wide array of different size mattresses which was super important for me because I have an airstream now fold is closer you guys I'm a little bit nervous about this because an airstream has a curve to it and a standard airstream mattress is cut to fit that curve but I don't want to get a standard airstream mattress or get one from like airstream supply because it's the same mattress I called customer service at Brooklyn bedding RV mattress and they actually talked to me about my mattress choice I went into all the options they had online which is great but when I talked to them about the curve in the airstream and my concern about the curve they suggested a mattress called the signature hybrid it's 11 inches thick when my standard airstream mattress was only eight it's super hard and that should poof out hopefully and fill up the space better than a standard mattress would another thing that I really liked about Brooklyn beddings RV mattress line is that they don't charge you for the shipping and these are big boxes and you can try out the mattress for 120 days and if you don't like it you can return it it's like no harm no foul if you have any kind of other regular RV and you have an RV king or an RV queen or RV bunk beds or whatever any of their mattresses will work fine for you but I'm talking to the airstream people out there because who wants to have to buy the original curved mattress which is not comfortable and then try and put a topper on it that exactly matches that curve and stand outside with a chainsaw and try and get that foam cut it's a nightmare so keep your fingers crossed for me I had the mattress ordered to a park that I'm staying in because my friend is here and he's going to help me remove the old mattress and put the new one in fingers crossed that it works so this is the box with the mattress not too bad but again it's only a double twin we'll be able to fit that in the door fine everybody this is my good friend Paul he's helping me Paul is the greatest he's one of my dearest friends and you know only good friends help you move in a mattress what a champ Paul is he's doing it by himself so I can film this lazy it's nice sometimes to have a little bed said the person that's not carrying the mattress he's trusty scissors not a utility knife it's sound like you speak from experience it's so nice to have good friends only one of us fits get it Paul you wrestle that beast there's a hissing noise because it's already starting to fill up with air so what we need to do is get it into place and then cut off the rest of the plastic because then it's gonna poof up we'll see with that curve as soon as we get it down fingers crossed you can see where I cut the plastic and the vacuum is coming apart it's gonna poof up oh my god do you see that wow it's like the stay puff marshmallow man wow it already god I don't know it's at least 50 bigger already oh I'm so excited I'm gonna get a good night's sleep I think it's gonna fit really yeah I really like it it's so princess in the pee yeah it's already comfortable since I've laid on it wow look at that and I actually really like this like denim look whoa this is a full timer mattress right here yeah buddy can you access your storage compartments okay yeah I never use them but actually it's perfect will they open yeah look at that I guess people use this for laundry but it's just too hard to get to you for me so I won't that will be covered in pillows old mattress new mattress old mattress new mattress it's perfect no problem with the curve at all air stream owners I have a wonderful new mattress well fast forward and I am finally out boondocking on this wonderful new mattress and I love it and I think you would too it is night and day from what it was like to sleep on the standard air stream mattress it only took like 20 minutes to set up and it's like sleeping on a cloud and the boy loves it too thank you Brooklyn bedding for making my full-time RV life so much more comfortable and for sponsoring this video remember everybody you can get a whopping 25 off a purchase of a Brooklyn bedding RV mattress by using the code creativity RV I'm going to keep it rolling I've got tons of content coming out I've got other renovations my solar install an adventure tour I went on and some RV park drama so if you haven't subscribed already please do and hit the little bell and I'll see all of you next Sunday with an all-new video until then everybody out there have happy travels and be free
