Considering the fact that most of us spend 1/3 of our lives in bed, finding the right sleep solution for your RV or camper is an important part of the equation. You should sleep as comfortably on the road as you do at home because…
That’s why you invested in your own mobile space.
To replicate your best sleep at home, choose a mattress you love—built to the specifications of your RV or camper frame. Companies like Brooklyn Bedding offer their most popular sleep solutions in all the right sizes for your home away from home. Best of all, as an American made company, they design your mattress on demand in their very own factory in Phoenix. Among their offerings is the highest value, number one selling Signature Hybrid mattress, along with their most popular hybrid with advanced cooling, the Aurora Luxe.

8. STAYING ON COURSE
Travel days can represent the biggest challenges in terms of staying well-rested. You’ll get a better night’s sleep if you go to bed and rise at roughly the same time you would at home. You’ll also enjoy the journey more if you’re able to take breaks along the way and don’t drive too far or too long.
Napping (during a pit stop or while your partner is at the wheel) can help reduce the chance of drowsiness while driving, but there is both an art and a science to it. To avoid sleep disturbances later—and the daytime sleep hangover—it’s best to nap earlier in the day, and somewhere between 20 to 40 minutes for the ultimate refresh. More on the five things you need to know about napping can be found here.
Whether you’re planning your next getaway or stay away, adequate rest is an important part of the journey.
Your next, great destination is only a dream away.
