I am curious about the 9 inch memory foam mattress from Amazon mentioned above.... We sleep on mostly on our side and even with the factory plus a 3 inch memory foam topper, we still get pressure spots on our sides.
 
Please let me know what you think about the 9 inch? does it sink to wood?

Huh? That must be a crappy topper. I've got two 10in memory foam mattresses, one a regular size and one is a queen and their both nice and firm. My son's room has a six inch memory foam regular size and it too is nice and firm. That one is on a futon with mire mesh and bars supporting it, nothing else. You don't feel any of that at all.

Oh, and they were all purchased off of ebay and I think the most expensive one was the queen size that I sleep on and bought for $375 delivered.

Bought an 8 inch memory foam mattress referenced in original post and find it very comfortable. Not too stiff for us -- 5'5' female average build and male 5'9" average build.  Good buy in my opinion

WE bought an 8" foam one from Overstock.com and although we haven't used it for camping -- we are waiting for Thanksgiving to be able to spend several days in it....we are pleased with testing it out for a half an hour or so.  To us comfort was much more worth it than saving a few dollars.

I could take the last 2 posts and combine them to make a joke.  But I won't.  I'll just let your mind wander for a second...  Clap

Bumping this thread.  Someone mentioned getting a new mattress on another thread which got me to start looking around (not happy with the one that came with our Salem).  Any updates from those that posted here?

We have used ours for several camping trips.  Best 369 ever spent.  Sleep through the night with no issues. Do suffer from lower back pain but because of the matress and sleeping in the camper I seem to get a better night sleep. I plan on buying one for my bedroom at home as well.

We got the short queen from Overstock and it was the best thing we purchased wasted our time with toppers and wasted our money before we decided to bite the bullet and invest in our sleep

I've posted this in other locations on this forum, but our 179 has the best RV bed we've ever had in 40 years of Rving.  We bought this from Amazon: Paramount PSR6074 60"x74" Premium Pillowtop Mattress. It's pricey at $388.88, but worth every cent.  I'm a big guy at 250 lbs and it works perfectly for us.  We may be moving into a bigger rig this summer, and the first thing I did was look at the Amazon page to see if they sell a 60x80 for a full size queen--and they do!
