The mattress I got is so bad that I roll into the center at night. I've even flipped the mattress thinking that would help but to no avail. I leave Oregon within 2 weeks and head south to New Mexico for another volunteer position. There is a Mattress company that has RV mattresses in stock so I'll just change the one I have out. .................Thanks for the feedback though

We changed our mattress prior to delivery.  Bought a European Style from Camping World, about $340.  Fabulous mattress.  About 8 inches thick with coil springs.  Can't say enough good things about a good nights sleep on this mattress.  Heading out this Friday for 5 nights.  Safe Travels.

I am waiting with baited breath to hear your comments on that mattress.  When do you pick it up?  They can ship it to you and I don't think it's expensive.  Safe Travels.

I leave this Monday for New Mexico and have to go through Boise, ID and Camping World has a store there.
So Monday it will be out with the old and in with a new mattress. With taxes it cost $340.00. Camping World said I can use their dumpster for disposal...........

When I was looking for replacements of our foam pads, I checked Google.  Probably a furniture refinishing store would either be able to do it or be able to recommend someone.  When I went researching the foam, I did go to someone who just restuffs and manufactures pads for boats, RV's, furniture, etc.  He had me sit on a number of different grades of foam.  Seems that there are many different qualities and densities.  Some will collapse quickly.  Of course, like most other things, you get what you pay for.  My quote for high quality foam for the 4 pads  in the dinette was $420.  Checked another vender for same quality foam and was about the same.  Waitiing for my next check from my trust account before redoing.  Safe Travels.

The foam pads that I got was from a funiture store that specializes in repairs.
Got both foam pads for the dinette replaced for $110.00.........much better
