    I have been trying to find a Sleep-Aid or Tempur-Pedic type mattress for my DH. He is not sleeping well on his mattress & I know one of these would help.

    Where can I go to find a good mattress that will fit in his sleeper. Any ideas where/what to search on-line?

    I have tried various searchs & keep getting crap sites or "pick-up" truck information.

    Even advice on a good quality regular mattress would be a great help!

    Thanks,

    Lilya

    Sleepnumber.com
    temperpedic.com

    Those are the ones you hear about on tv.
    I tried a sleep number and man are they nice, I almost zonked out on it during the demo. As for in the truck, best bet is check their sites and give them a call.

    After trying several different pads, foams etc for the truck bunk I bought my hubby a air mattress, twin size, the kind that come with their own pump, he loves it! Its been in the truck now for 3 months and as of yet is in fine shape, about once a week he will add some air and life is good again.:smt044

    I've added a think foam rubber pad, bunk size, foam "egg crate," then topped it with an up-scale mattress cover/pad. Good flannel sheets, and alternative down comforter. The bunk is actually more comfortable than my pillow top matterss in the bedroom.

    WallyWorld sells a "memory foam" pad that is AWESOME. It is just like the Temperpedic mattres but at a fraction of the cost. I have also seen them sold at "Lines & Things" but were a little most costly.

    we had an "egg crate" mattress pad & i loved it! between that & the reefer running, i rarely had a problem falling to sleep. lol i'd be interested in trying the memory foam pad, tho. i thot they were pricey tho... but i suppose a good night's rest is worth it, huh?

    Lucky for most of you all, I have a day cab. So if I need a nap, my steering wheel is my pillow. Just have to remember to keep the head off the horn.
