I know this subject has probably been beat to death but about to pull the trigger on this new mattress and wondering if anyone else has one? Zinus Sleep Master Ultima Comfort Memory Foam 8 Inch Mattress, Short Queen. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01BW7H5G6/ref=mp_s_a_1_20?ie=UTF8&qid=1502073696&sr=8-20&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=rv+memory+foam+mattress+short+queen&dpPl=1&dpID=41cZmi5FhFL&ref=plSrch
Looks like a good deal and has good reviews.

We love ours. 8 inch is super comfy and you can still move it around if you want to get under the bed. Spent 10 days on it over spring break trip to Zions. Thumbs up.

Thanks

Bought a Brentwood 7 inch thick short queen from amazon for $295 w/free shipping. Most comfortable mattress we ever slept on.

Hi Daniel,

We ordered the exact same mattress from Amazon and are very pleased. Much more comfortable and worth the money!

Something to consider...

We also found the factory mattress in our new 178 was lacking; woke up with sore hips. We figured we would first try a topper and a mattress cover... a simple 2" topper with the egg-crate convolutions and a full envelope mattress cover. It worked wonders. We just came back from a 2 week trip and we were very comfortable the entire time.
