Thanks everyone for your input.

Both house and trailer purchased at The Original Mattress Factory.

We purchased a mattress that was more plush than our house one because of the stiffer platform. A Euro pillow top versus a plush model.

We are both side sleepers so we could be bottoming out. I might have to do a test, bring the mattress inside and sleep a night with it on the floor.

It could be the base......We both feel the pain slightly below shoulder blades just about the same spot the pass through wall is, which is very inflexible.

I've been thinking about adding more or thicker sheet of plywood to stiffen the platform.

I also thought about putting a steel platform base frame over it as well. Would be about the same weight....45 lbs.
