what do you prefer?

Tempuredic...That's what's in my sleeper....No cheapassed truck mattress for me!

 

A good mattress would be a blessing in a company truck.

 

Nylon slip cover?? I never seen one. It's common practice for the company to change the mattress out between drivers. You don't know where that last driver been. Them jailhouse matresses don't last about a year anyways.

Good sleep is your best friend. Do what it takes to make your sleeper comfortable.

 

The only cover I have seen is plastic and that is what the mattress came in. Go buy yourself your own mattress and you will be a lot happier. Especially if you are teaming. Spring mattresses are bad! Yes, tempurpedic is the way to go!

 

They're a little pricey....But worth every dime of it.

 

The industry has several manufacturers, but not many with a top quality mattresses. The problem is marketing a large item to a crowd that is always on the move. Truckers would love pillow top or memory foam mattresses if you stuck it under their noses.
I thought about the idea before.
Maybe if you could load an 18 wheeler and hit the truck stops first hand in the parking lots. You could sell your load in a day or two.
Last set I bought for the house I think I paid $600 on sale for a queen set. So being about a quarter the size since you wouldn't have a box spring under it... about $150 would be a fair price. So about 80 mattresses in a truck would generate about $12,000 gross in a couple days. Not shabby for a small business.

 

Oh, this is great! Definitely stay away from the springs! We actually had custom memory foam mattresses made for our truck. A lot of drivers who drive team sleep when the truck is moving. The memory foam really eats a lot of the vibration and shock. The seem to also not get hot. Keep in mind a lot of drivers are big so thicken em up! That will work on the bottom bunk. Like in the T2000 you will have to stay thin though because we leased one for 6 months and put our custom mattresses in it and on the top bunk your nose would touch the ceiling. Another thing we would do all the time is use a long pillow like a kick stand. This would keep you from rocking back and forth. Maybe you could concave the centers of the mattresses so that they hold you in one spot. Not too much though for those who sleep on their stomachs. Man what a great idea for a biz! At over 450,000 trucking companies in the US alone you should do well. Good luck!

 

One more thing to add. Whatever cover you decide to put on them try to use a non-slip surface. Expensive sheets make you slide all over the place and it is hard to maintain you desired sleeping position. We would always buy the cheapest roughest sheets to prevent from sliding all around. Not every truck is in motion while the drivers are sleeping so you may want to offer options or two different styles.
