lightweight mattress info / recommendations

   Hi folks - have a 2017 Rpod 171.  The mattress that came with it is basically dead.  Want to replace it, but don't want to add extra weight.  The current one is about 30 lbs.  Most of the replacements I've looked at involve some amount of memory foam and come in more around 100lbs.  Too much.  
I'm also not exactly sure what size it really is.  This thread below seems to suggest it's a "Short Queen" - which is listed on many mattress websites as 60x75 - but another poster on that thread suggests it's actually 60x74.  I measured it and it seems like it's maybe even a bit smaller than that, but it's pretty hard to tell since it's so saggy now.

There were lots of recommendations on that thread for good mattresses, but none of them were clear about how much they weigh.

Does anyone know for sure what size these really are, and does anyone have any recommendations on a replacement that's around 30 lbs (noting, it's been very difficult to get weight information without picking up the phone and calling places - for some reason no one lists that on their websites)?

Help greatly appreciated.

	The size is commonly known as an "RV Queen" or "Short Queen". The best way to determine your exact size is to just measure the dimensions of the platform in your Rpod. We ended up getting a Zinus Short Queen in the 8" depth. It was reasonably priced, and has been a great mattress for us. The dimensions of ours is listed as "*74"L x 60"W x 8"Th*". The weight is listed as 40 lbs.
