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.  


How did the Overstock mattress end up working for you guys?  We're looking at upgrading/replacing our 177 bed... it's definitely a back killer!

Ryaninco, We bought a mattresses last month from FoamMattressDiscounts - we've used it about 8 nights and are very pleased.  Cost is a little less than Overstocks.  It was shipped free and we received within 2 days.  They even made some modifications to the mattress (made it a bit smaller) that we requested).

We, like many others on here, bought a 3" memory foam mattress topper and love it.

Just went ahead and picked up this 8" memory foam on Amazon.  Should have it in a few days... I've noticed on quite a few of these RV mattresses that it seems like the same manufacture making them but different dealers with their names on them.

We have a temperpedic at home now, which we absolutely love and after talking with my better half we just decided to replace the back breaker altogether...

I purchased this a few months ago...and it's the best RV mattress I've ever used!!  My wife and I are huge fans of this mattress:

Parklane Mattress PSR6074 60" X 74" Premium Pillowtop Mattress


Paid $388.00 including shipping on Amazon.

We have used this mattress in the "full" size for a few years now, and we are extremely pleased with it.  Apparently, it is now on sale with a nice price reduction.  There are over 3,000 reviews of the mattress on the website garnering almost a five-star review.   We have a 177 model and by using the full size mattress rather than a queen or RV size, it allows you to tuck in the sheets and quilts in the available extra space (which is not much extra space).

We replaced the Forest River supplied short queen mattress in our 179 before our first trip with this DreamFoam 9" Eurotop mattress from Amazon.  It has been a great mattress that I would recommend.

Bump.....just bought a memory foam replacement for the 179 that we don't even have yet LOL

I had ebay bucks that expired tomorrow so I said what the heck, I like memory foam mattresses!

Oh, and it was $239 including shipping for an 8in. There is "one' left if anybody is interested.
