 Calendar Event: Mattress Replacement 178Posted: 13 Nov 2016 at 6:37pm |

Just checked on Overstock.com. They have eurotop innerspring mattresses. Short queens that measure 60" x 74" with varying thicknesses with prices ranging from 257.49 to 333.99.

Great topic. The factory mattress is plain junk. What I did on my 180 was replace the worthless factory mattress with a full size futon mattress. This allows you to buy a full size mattress cover and sheets and you don't have to spend ridiculous money for the short queen sheets. With the slightly smaller futon mattress on top, you get 3 to 5 extra inches of space along the long front wall and more room between the head and foot side walls. Now I can make the bed with ease.
I bought a 10 inch thick futon for $200 bucks and whats nice about it, is that it folds nicely when you access the pump or valves underneath the platform. Now I sleep so much better. If the small 3-5 inch gap bugs the person next to the front wall, just place a few rolled up towels or some sponge in the gap. I roll up some beach towels and place my 38 special there.

The 11 inch NuForm has excellent reviews at Overstock. Just make sure a short Queen is 60x74. While a regular Queen in 60x80 short Queens can be 76 or 78 inches and will be tight in the RPOD if bigger than 74"

Tom, we bought the same mattress as Jato, "innerspring eurotop" from camping world. Next year will be starting our 5th year with it. VERY satisfied. But I'm not sure on this part, I thought I heard where camping world has gone away from that mattress.

Two things I don't like about the 178: 1) it's hard as heck to put on a mattress cover or fitted sheet since 3 sides are flush against walls, and 2) there is not enough inside storage.
I'm considering replacing the stock short queen with a TWIN sized mattress. I'm thinking a twin would be easier to "make up" and the extra 20+ inches created could hold stackable storage boxes or I could fab some kind of shelving. Any thoughts or feelings out there? And before you ask, when the wife goes we can't sleep in the queen. We have two Yorkies that sleep with her and I sleep on the dinette. |

I bought a a new mattress, the stock one is not very good. I hated it! I slept on it a few times very cheap and not supportive. I bought the same mattress as Curtis in the post above me great mattress and good price. All r-pods should have a better mattress!

We wanted a better mattress. I think any mattress would be better than what comes with the trailer. We tried adding a foam topper but that wasn't enough. Looked on Amazon and found the one linked below. We like it and the price was great. The 10" short queen is $169.

After 3 trips we decided to get the mattress in a roll, Eurotop mattress from Camping World. Great mattress even after 5 years of use. Just as comfy now as when we purchased it in 2011.
