    I got mine online, I don't remember the website and the paperwork is at home and I am not,lol but there are several sites that have then just do an online search.

    Just remember that there are different quality foam mattresses and you get what you pay for mainly in how long they last, I believe this one comes with a 10 year warranty.

    we started at home with a cheap on and found that it broke down after a year or two but liked it so much that we bought a high end one that is like new after 7 years.

    i chose to go with a mid range one for the truck and have had it for over a year and it is like it was when new.

    one last thing I ordered the long twin I did have a problem finding sheets for it, Wally world and Target sells them in the summer and fall because the college students tend to have long twins in their dorm rooms winter and spring though can be a problem finding them.

    When I was OTR before I had a pillow top mattress that I used. Was the best sleep I ever got.

    I have a good firm mattress with a memory foam topper. Sleeps really well, and not real expensive.

    I have tried an air mattress, a new mattress from Kenworth, a memory foam "topper", and a memory foam mattress.
    IMHO, the memory foam "topper" works, IF your mattress is in pretty good shape, BUT-
    the full memory foam mattress is the best, hands down.
    Found both, the topper, then later, the mattress at Wal-Mart.

    Air mattresses are for camping and unexpected overnight guests.:yes2557: Before I go on the road with my guy again he will have at the very least a memory foam or pillow-top mattress.

    My guy had no idea his matress was terrible until I told him, go figure. :biggrin_25525:

    Is there such a thing as a "air" mattress like the type "Select Comfort" makes available for big trucks?
    if so, how much $ and where can u buy them?
    if not, who sells the best mattress for big trucks?

    Any mattress with a true memory foam topper is just great. It can't be one of those fake $20 foam though. You're looking at $60-$80 for a good authentic one 1 1/2" or better.
