I'm a solo driver and drive a 2021 Cascadia and I wake up with back pain. Ive been able to minimize the problem by purchasing two of those 40 dollar 2inch memory foam mattress layers at walmart.
im on my third trucking job in my career as a trucker with Barr Nunn. been with that company since november of 2025.
my first job was with wilson logistics but all my loads were Prime. when i drove for them i was also using a cascadia and prime put a very thick mattress for the bottom bunk in the cascadia. i never had back pain when waking up while using that mattress. ive tried many times to call the prime terminal, specifically the department who gives the drivers the mattresses so i can figure out what company makes the mattress, what the mattres' model name/number is if it has one so i can just order that mattress online somewhere.
Does anybody have advice on where i can shop online for a good, thick mattress that has the correct dimensions to fit into the sleeper cab of a 2021 Cascadia?
Where can i find a good mattress for my sleeper cab?

Grab a tape measure and check your bunk size. Though most trucks are a twin XL. So google twin XL matresses and pick one with the features you need/want. There are literally thousands of choices. For example first one that came up for me was this.

My Peterbilt has a 66” bunk, and takes a standard twin mattress. I was having very similar back pain to what you described, so I just put a new Serta mattress in mine. Standard twin mattress is a perfect fit. 11” thick, very comfy, $120 (on sale) at Menards.

I drove a 2018 Cascadia and for sure it was a twin XL. Basically half of a standard king. Should be real easy to get a new mattress. I'd like to think the company would somehow take care of you.

I had a Drift mattress once. They have all springs in them and don’t sag. Even if you sit on edge of mattress it won’t sag or crush. The actual mattress cover seem a little to thin or cheap in my opinion for the price of the mattress. It never ripped or sag. It a very firm mattress but very expensive.

Yep, I just bought one on Amazon the other day. $100 bucks for a really nice one that says it's 8" thick but is actually more like 6". I'm keeping for now but the 10" thick ones are available and not much more money. And they're amazing.
