We went to our local furniture store and ordered a spring air pillow top innerspring in a short queen. 60x75....It fits perfectly in our 180. We slept on it for 3 nights when we camped a couple of weeks ago. It was awesome! We paid $299.00 + tax. Money well spent.

We replaced ours with one from Amazon, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00981VPWE/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It has been great, with about 30 nights on it so far this year. The biggest problem was getting rid of the old one. I could not even give a new mattress away. I finally cut the cover off to cut it up for the garbage. It was only two bats of fiber fill, no wonder it was so terrible. What a waste of resources.

We used our original for four seasons then replaced it with a memory foam from Amazon. It sleeps fine. Goodwill took the original and I assume sold it.

New mattress on the way for us too. The mattress in the 2017 model 180 is terrible. We ordered the 8" modern sleep cool gel memory foam mattress with a 25 year warranty for $230.00 Hope it's a good RV mattress.

Well here is an update. The new mattress arrived and it's a perfect fit. It is so comfy now that I can't get the better half up in the morning. Well worth the money.

It never dawned on me that a furniture or mattress store could order a queen short. Thought it would have to be a RV supplier like Camping World. Good to know! D'oh!

We have the 10" Queen RV Cool Memory Foam - Mid/Firm - 299.99, US made in Missouri, little tough putting fitted sheet on in out 178, but well worth it. Came vacuum packed. Wife says she bought on Ebay. Happy.

I took the cover off and saw that it was one thick bat and two thin ones held together with plastic heat-sealed ties. Part of the batting went into replacing the too-soft foam in the 179's dinette end cushions. The rest is in the attic, packaged and waiting until I figure out what else I can do with it. Part will be re-doing the cushions since lessons learned tell me that I should use two thick bats and one thin one instead of one thick and 3 thin ones. I will also need to do like the manufacturer and figure out a way to tie the layers together so they don't shift. |
