Mattress - Event Date: 06 May 2016

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

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.

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!

Originally posted by dr.becky We replaced ours with one from Amazon . . . (snip) 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.

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.
