Adhere to the cleaning instructions of the mattress. Flip and reverse as directed by the manufacturer. If your mattress does not dissipate heat while you sleep, increase the air flow and ventilation in your RV. Traditional visco memory foam mattresses pull heat from the body, trapping it in the mattress. Over time, this causes the mattress to lose its shape, and it begins to sag.
