Help! Our Rpod 179 is brand new.  We’ve camped in it on 4 trips.  The mattress is so uncomfortable.  We even bought a 3” gel memory foam topper, but then that doesn’t help much. Has anyone bought a replacement mattress that is comfortable?  We’ve seen many online, but are Leary to buy one, as all seem to have some negative reviews.  Suggestions? Ouch

We bought a 10" short queen memory foam mattress last year and it was a big improvement.

we camped with the factory mattress for four years then replaced it with a 12 inch memory foam mattress from Amazon that is great.  I don't see it on Amazon any more but there are lots of options.

We bought this mattress on Amazon earlier this year before we spent 10 days at Zions NP.  We love it.  They make a 10 inch version, but the 8 is a little more manageable.

We replaced our factory mattress in our 179 with the Nu Form Quilted Euro Top 9 Inch RV Queen from Overstock. We Love it. I think it's better then the mattress we have in the house! :)

I have a 10" mattress, if I had to do again I would go to 8". The 10" is heavy and cumbersome.

We replaced ours with a mattress from the Original Mattress Factory.  They will build to your measurements.  The price depends on which model you choose.  It was the best money we have spent for the pod.

You must have better backs than I.  I decided to replace ours after 3 nights on it, it was terrible.  Anyway I purchased a EuroTop Mattress (June 2011) for our 177.  It was pricey in my opinion, about
 $ 325.00, BUT is extremely comfortable and here it is 6 plus years later and just as comfortable as the day we received it.  It does get used a fair amount as well, we average 30 days/camping/year with our 177.

We bought a great mattress from Northwest Bedding in Spokane, WA.  The short queen mattress was custom made for us...ordered on Sunday afternoon, picked it up Wednesday afternoon.  This mattress fit perfectly and sleeps wonderfully.
