Congrats on your new 179! We picked up ours last month and are anxiously awaiting spring time for our test run. For now it's sitting beside the garage Ouch

You might want to do a search on ebay for short queen memory foam mattresses. We replaced the factory mattress already with a medium firm memory foam off of ebay for $239, including shipping, and while we haven't slept on it yet I can tell it will be comfortable just from laying on it. It's the third memory foam mattress we've bought off of ebay, from different sellers, and have been happy with the other two that we've been sleeping on for two to three years.

Here's an example of one there:

Question: Do you (or anyone else, please chime in) find that a memory form mattress retains a considerable amount of heat, or no?

Disclaimer:  The following are just my/our opinions.  Wife & I have pretty well concluded that every foam mattress is different.  Plus "sleeping hot" is at least as much about the person as it is the mattress.  I sleep hot.  Doesn't matter the fancy name of this or that foam, the number of fancy layers, so-called "cool gel", etc.  I'll still sleep hot, my wife won't.  For us, it's more about support.

As I've said in other posts, buying mattresses is no fun.  Unknown names, all bragging about their fancy-label foam being the one NASA developed, useless 25 year warranties (like I'm really going to send it back to some ebay vendor because it gets out of shape in 6 months).  It's a crapshoot!  We ended up buying a made-for-Dometic Serta.  So far, so good.  It's at least better than the original FR mattress.

TMI?  Sorry.. Kind of a hot-button topic for me.  Embarrassed

I think so, you can feel the heat just reflecting back at you.  I get very hot with ours.

Funny...the DW and I are the same. I actually find the stock mattress acceptable but she hated it so we tried a foam topper which I hated and she loved it, so I sliced it in half.Thumbs Up

If its warm in the room it can get hot but for the most part both my wife and myself don't think heat is a problem with the memory foam mattresses we've slept on for years.

The firmness is what I like as I can get up out of bed without any back soreness where a softer mattress bothers me while sleeping and after I get out of bed!

I replaced the table side cushions foam in my 179 with firmer foam purchased from UFO, Chula Vista, Southern California. I bought a piece of 6" foam from the same place to fit the bed shape and then put whatever you call the factory mattress thingie on top of that. Sits a lot firmer and sleeps well.

We just bought a memory foam topper from Costco and cut 6 inches off one end and put it on our 179 mattress. It's to die for comfy. We sleep with temp at 60. My hubby is a hot bod and I'm always cold.   We both sleep well with the memory foam. At home we have a temperpedic.
