Hatchlift Heavy Duty RV Bed Lift Kit - Queen Oversize - Durable Gas

In this review of the Hatchlift Heavy Duty RV Bed Lift Kit for Queen Oversize beds, the bottom line is clear: this kit is for RV owners who need a robust lift system for heavy residential mattresses or mattresses with thick pillow toppers and want improved access to under-bed storage. It is not a replacement spring set and is meant for new installations where the deck and mattress lift together; buyers should measure their compartment and confirm compatibility before purchasing. The biggest reason to choose this kit is the pair of 20' by 120 lb gas shocks that make lifting a heavy mattress manageable with one hand once installed.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty gas shocks: Two 20' by 120 lb gas springs provide strong, consistent lift power suited to oversize residential mattresses or heavy pillowtopper combinations.
• Complete hardware package: The BLK Queen Oversize kit includes mounting hardware and wood blocks to simplify fitting to an existing RV platform.
• Designed for new installations: The kit is made to be installed on existing bed platforms where mattress and deck move together, ensuring system stability when fitted correctly.
• Storage access improvement: By lifting the mattress and deck smoothly, the kit makes routine access to under-bed compartments easier and safer for heavier mattresses.
• Clear measurement guidance: The requirement to measure inside compartment dimensions for partial platforms reduces the risk of ordering the wrong kit for the current bed setup.

Who It's For

This kit is best for RV owners with a Queen Oversize platform bed where the deck and mattress lift together and who plan to install the lift kit as a new hardware addition. It suits owners using heavy residential mattresses or standard mattresses with substantial pillow toppers who need stronger gas shocks than lighter kits provide.

It is not for people with foam mattresses, bunk beds, radius beds, side-load beds, or beds in slide-outs with fixed bases. Also avoid this kit if you lack woodworking or mechanical skills, since installation requires accurate drilling and secure mounting.

Pros & Cons
