We wish to replace our queen size mattress in our Pod. Has anyone tried to stuff a queen size mattress into the existing space. It seems that the length of the existing mattress is 75 inches which would be too small for a queen mattress bought at a regular store. Would like to avoid buying from a trailer dealer. A double bed is the right length but is a bit shorter in width. I was thinking of converting the left over space created by a double bed for storage of bedding or towels, etc. Our trailer was bought at a 3 day open house and with probably thousands of people sitting on the edge of the bed there is a noticible sag in that part of the bed.
Other than this we love the Pod. Everywhere we go people are facinated with it and want to see inside, they can't believe how it seems to grow when they get inside.

Camping World has a variety of RV mattresses (at a variety of prices).

If you are noticing a sag in the bed already take it back to the dealer and ask for a replacement. (assuming you are still under warranty) . If you push them enough about the mattress they just might change it out for a futon which works so much better (At least in our 171)

Overstock.com sells a 4" memory foam mattress for a reasonable price...I think the double size is under $100.
Sweet dreams, Blissful
