Hi, We just picked up a 2014 179 and are excited to start camping. The first thing we need to do is replace the mattress, it just isn’t comfortable. We do not want a memory foam matress. Any suggestions on one that is more like a bed you have at home? ------------- 2014 R Pod 179 |

Welcome to the forum! We topped ours with memory foam... I've heard good things about those mail-order mattresses, like Casper or Ikea. You might even have it shipped somewhere you're visiting for a while! Returns are pretty painless, from what I understand. Here's a Consumer Reports article that may help: https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/news/2015/07/3-foam-mattresses-that-are-easy-to-ship/index.htm ------------- 2012 RP-171 HRE, 2006 F-150

After 3 outings in our 177 we replaced our mattress with a Euro-Top mattress from Camping World. Can purchase from other vendors for less, however when we purchased ours in June 2011 that was our only option. A bit pricey but well worth the investment. Your body and back are worth it, as well as a good night of sleep! So here we are 7 years later and the mattress is just as firm and comfortable as the day we got it. Yes, we use it a fair amount, camping around 30 days/year as well as using it at home for an overflow when we have too much company to put everyone up in the house.
