Wow, we didn't figure that one out until our 3rd time out.  Replaced it with a EuroTop mattress from camping world.  A bit pricey but is worth the comfort.  Have had it almost 5 years now and find it just as COMFORTABLE now as when we first bought it.

We picked up from Amazon a Parklane Mattress PSR6074 60" X 74" Premium Pillowtop Mattress. Its a very good mattress and a lot cheaper when we got it

The memory foam topper from Costco worked well.  Had to cut 6" off the end - a searated cake knife worked well for that.

We paid $100 for a gel memory foam mattress topper and were very comfortable for about 3 weeks worth of camping. But now the cheap OEM mattress is sagging so much in the middle that I think we will have to get a whole new mattress anyway. So now I wish I hadn't wasted the money on the topper and had just gotten a new mattress to begin with.

When you purchased your replacement mattress, is it just a mattress you need or do you have to get something equivalent to a box spring? 

I had hoped to use our current bed as the mattress but after reading the forums I discovered that it will be too large as it is a standard queen, not short queen.

The innerspring eurotop mattress requires no box spring. We have about 300 nights on ours, no complaints.

You have me beat Mark, over the past 5 years we have only logged about 170 nights BUT, no complaints and just as comfortable as the day we purchased it.

Thanks.  An uncomfortable bed isn't going to cut it.   Yes, I used to sleep on the ground, but if I wanted to keep doing that, wouldn't be investing in an R-Pod.  I now know to plan for a new bed.  :)
