nojoke Posted February 24, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 24, 2014 It has been a couple of years since we took a Princess cruise. At that time, we always had to request an “egg crate” mattress topper since the mattresses were so firm. Is this still true, or are todays’ beds more comfortable?

Nan_Sea Posted February 24, 2014 #2 Share Posted February 24, 2014 We were on the Island Princess last Oct. and found the beds to be very comfortable. I have asked for an egg crate in the past but did not need one on the Island Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
more cruises Posted February 25, 2014 #3 Share Posted February 25, 2014 For some reason Princess thinks everyone likes to sleep on a rock. Even the new mattresses on the Royal were rock hard. I know, everyone else raved about them, but I couldn't sleep until my cabin attendant put a second pillowtop on. So yes, the mattresses are likely hard. Most ships use pillow tops instead of eggcrates now, your cabin attendant will be happy to add one or two for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted February 25, 2014 #4 Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) I had a pillowtop mattress on the Island Princess in October 2012. The mattresses on the Royal last October were pillowtop and heavenly. They are firm with a nice soft top. Very comfortable. Mattress comfort is very subjective which is why if you go to a mattress store, there are dozens of options. :) Edited February 25, 2014 by Pam in CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riclop Posted February 25, 2014 #6 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Like food bedding is very subjective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimAOk1945 Posted February 25, 2014 #7 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Like food bedding is very subjective. Very true. I prefer a firm mattress while my wife likes one with a lot of memory foam.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this still true, or are todays’ beds more comfortable? thanks to all who responded to my mattress question. Glad to know the “pillow-toppers” are effective. (If we need it.)
