If I had a sleeper,I'd have a roll and pleated,chopped and channeled, mattress with red flames on it. It would also have chrome SS Crager buttons on it.

no 75 watt chicken lights running down the side?
wicked Thanks this. -
Oops sorry,forgot to add them,better call the shop before it's too late.

I should also add a linear to amply those "backfires" -
I have a custom mattress, made by... me.

I got a piece of 4" thick medium density foam, cut it to fit, throw a sheet on it... some of the best sleep I've ever had. I think it cost about $12. -
No matter how much I have paid for a truck(and I have paid ALOT--LOL)IMHO--there isn't a truck mattress out there worth a s***--so I have always--added to them--waffle foam--custom top etc..--But I was having lunch a while back and a driver pulling a beautyrest trailer came in and we got to talking--he told me you can get the best mattress made to fit the average truck--although standard sizes do not fit--he told me to go to a regular mattress store and have them order what he called a HOSPITAL SINGLE--says the come in all varieties etc--and specs very close to the average truck bunk area--(forgot the dimensions he gave me)I'm happy with my jerry rig for now--but have kept it in mind--just haven't bothered to check it out--might be worth a look--since most of us spend way more time in truck than at home--and I spent over $1000 for our bed at the house!
Wargames Thanks this. -
I picked up a truck for service one time that had a waterbed type mattress.....
-
I added a 4" foam topper to the existing stock mattress...sleeps great.
But I will say this....during the winter, when I would be out of the truck for a few days, I'd get back in that thing and it would be as hard as a rock, at least for a bit until the interior of the truck moderated. -
Hows the sleep dog mattress ? Heard alot about it just never laid on one.
-
Go to Costco and buy a "memory foam" topper.
