Does anyone have any suggestions? I found this one over at Overstock.com - looks pretty good? The price is "okay", but may be worth the investment?

Hello and welcome to the pod family. I bought my RV bunk mattresses from excel distributers. I actually bought the inner spring so that it would emulate what I sleep on at home. It is just as comfortable, if more so, than my mattress at home. I love it. Here is the link...

We bought a Bed-In-A-Box mattress and have been very happy with it. They have a great return policy, a great warranty, a great BBB record, and their customers recommend them (we certainly do). The PacBed Original (the style we bought) in RV queen size is about twice as expensive as the one you linked to, but much less than a TempurPedic, to which it rates favorably. I also like that it's made in America. I've got no problem with a lot of things made overseas, even in China. But, in this case I got sucked in a bit by the "cheap imitations sometimes use toxic chemicals" talk found on Bed-In-A-Box's website. Not sure if it's true, but it certainly seems plausible. Anyway, if I had to do it over again, I'd buy from them again.

We just added a 3 inch memory foam topper to the factory mattress. We both think it is a comfortable combo, but long-term I don't think the factory mattress is going to hold up. Might be a cheaper option short-term.

Here's a 3 inch mattress 'topper' I've been looking at:
It's a lot cheaper $68 but I haven't had any experience using one yet. |

we are getting a 100% natural Latex foam mattress topper. You breath in enough junk from the off gassing of all the synthetics. Its really comfortable, we have two at home. They last for years. You can just get a topper or a core and forget the fancy layers and covers and keep the price down. We just wrap ours with a sheet and mattress pad. Best mattress I have had. Memory foam is made from petroleum, yuck.

Did some research and I find that foam mattresses, for me are very hot to sleep on. The foam does not allow any air circulation. I did find a very good pillow top mattress at Amazon for $399. which others had recommended. RV sized and will ship at that price.

After 2 years our RP175 high quality mattress (sarcasm intended) is really sagging-even with a foam topper. My wife has degenerative disc disease, now with a spinal fusion and a titanium cage. She doesn't make it long in a prone sleeping position, particularly in the Pod. Normal pillow top innerspring mattresses don't do her any good, so we just bought the memory foam short queen from Overstock. We've got a ten night outing next month. Here's hoping this will lessen the time she has to snooze sitting up on the couch of the Pod. We're also due for a new mattress for home. Hopefully this will help us with that decision.
Figuring the best mattress type is like Ford, Chevy, Dodge, or Toyota. What is great to some just stinks to others.
