New R-Pod 179

I think it was Harry's. Next to Lemos.

Congrats on your new 179! We picked up ours last month and are anxiously awaiting spring time for our test run. For now it's sitting beside the garage 

You might want to do a search on ebay for short queen memory foam mattresses. We replaced the factory mattress already with a medium firm memory foam off of ebay for $239, including shipping, and while we haven't slept on it yet I can tell it will be comfortable just from laying on it. It's the third memory foam mattress we've bought off of ebay, from different sellers, and have been happy with the other two that we've been sleeping on for two to three years.

Here's an example of one there:

As I've said in other posts, buying mattresses is no fun.  Unknown names, all bragging about their fancy-label foam being the one NASA developed, useless 25 year warranties (like I'm really going to send it back to some ebay vendor because it gets out of shape in 6 months).  It's a crapshoot!  We ended up buying a made-for-Dometic Serta.  So far, so good.  It's at least better than the original FR mattress. TMI?  Sorry.. Kind of a hot-button topic for me.

I replaced the table side cushions foam in my 179 with firmer foam purchased from UFO, Chula Vista, Southern California. I bought a piece of 6" foam from the same place to fit the bed shape and then put whatever you call the factory mattress thingie on top of that. Sits a lot firmer and sleeps well.
