Ours was very uncomfortable so we put a foam topper on it. You can get one at a drugstore that specializes in DME equipment. Wheelchairs,walkers and such. It made a big improvement ]]> Mon, 06 Nov 2017 09:01:18 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10795&PID=101759#101759 Mattresses : Originally posted by IdahoPodderOur... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10795&PID=101710#101710 Author: Keith-N-Dar

We slept on ours four camping seasons before we replaced it.  It was sagging badly so we put in a good quality memory foam mattress.

Ours has no springs, and I don't know what's inside, but when I've lifted it out, I can (with some effort) fold it in half. It may be foam, it may be something else.]]> Sat, 04 Nov 2017 14:27:56 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10795&PID=101709#101709 Mattresses : Our mattress came with the Rpod.... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10795&PID=101707#101707 Author: IdahoPodder

Does the mattress that goes in an R-pod get done at the dealer? Reason I ask is because the mattress in our R-179 is 7" thick and is pretty darn comfy, such that we've never thought about replacing it. I've heard some complaining that the mattress is only 3" thick. That might be too little mattress for anyone unless it was a very firm foam.]]> Sat, 04 Nov 2017 11:13:46 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10795&PID=101705#101705 Mattresses : We disposed of our OEM "mattresses"... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10795&PID=101632#101632 Author: lostagain

We disposed of our OEM "mattresses" and bought a piece of 4" seat cushion foam (blue) and my wife made a cover for it.  If you like a firm bed, it is super comfortable.  We cut it to fit the space (I had previously removed the upper bunk of our 172 and widened the bed below by raising it about 8").  And the cost was much less than a conventional mattress.  Supposedly it's a foam that has a service life of about 15 years, so that will be plenty of time for our Pod use.  As I'm sure everyone knows, custom cut foam comes in different densities and thicknesses, so it's easy to get just the "comfort level" you like without breaking the bank or adding unnecessary weight.  And the cover is easy to sew.]]> Thu, 02 Nov 2017 09:28:42 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10795&PID=101632#101632 Mattresses : We bought one of the suggested... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10795&PID=101629#101629 Author: pedalho

We bought one of the suggested foam mattresses from amazon and it is a NO GO. It's not firm enough and my husband usually ends up spending part of the night propped up sleeping on the seating area of our 179. We will not buy another mattress without an opportunity to test it first.]]> Thu, 02 Nov 2017 07:52:45 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10795&PID=101629#101629 Mattresses : i bought a short queen rv mattress... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10795&PID=100961#100961 Author: hogone

We got a foam mattress topper from Costco and put it on top of the factory mattress.  Made a significant difference and for right now it's just fine.....although it is a pain removing for winterizing!  Eventually we're going to have to bite the bullet and get a new mattress so good to see all the choices that are out there!]]> Sun, 15 Oct 2017 14:24:59 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10795&PID=100931#100931 Mattresses : We bought a Brentwood mattress... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10795&PID=100895#100895 Author: POD WE R

You must have better backs than I.  I decided to replace ours after 3 nights on it, it was terrible.  Anyway I purchased a EuroTop Mattress (June 2011) for our 177.  It was pricey in my opinion, about
 $ 325.00, BUT is extremely comfortable and here it is 6 plus years later and just as comfortable as the day we received it.  It does get used a fair amount as well, we average 30 days/camping/year with our 177.]]> Fri, 13 Oct 2017 19:51:01 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10795&PID=100876#100876 Mattresses : We replaced ours with a mattress... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10795&PID=100869#100869 Author: Dpod56

We replaced our factory mattress in our 179 with the Nu Form Quilted Euro Top 9 Inch RV Queen from Overstock. We Love it. I think it's better then the mattress we have in the house! :)

We bought this mattress on Amazon earlier this year before we spent 10 days at Zions NP.  We love it.  They make a 10 inch version, but the 8 is a little more manageable.
Thanks

we camped with the factory mattress for four years then replaced it with a 12 inch memory foam mattress from Amazon that is great.  I don't see it on Amazon any more but there are lots of options.

Help! Our Rpod 179 is brand new.  We’ve camped in it on 4 trips.  The mattress is so uncomfortable.  We even bought a 3” gel memory foam topper, but then that doesn’t help much. Has anyone bought a replacement mattress that is comfortable?  We’ve seen many online, but are Leary to buy one, as all seem to have some negative reviews.  Suggestions? Ouch]]> Fri, 13 Oct 2017 10:54:45 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10795&PID=100848#100848
