    I like my BigRig because of the heavy duty individual springs, but like I say I'm a big boy.......also I'm told if you prefer foam like those Tempurpedic jobs you can custom order one from Knoxville Foam......they will build it to your specs and deliver it to your door.

    I don't like foam mattresses at all.

    I got a "sleep dog" memory foam they make them for trucks cooler in summer warmer in winter love this thing it the best. I think there a 90 day return if you don't like it. Measure you bunk they have all sizes for all trucks. It comes in a small box don't open it till you get it in truck. Then don't sleep on it for 24 hr so it can decompress per instructions. In 38 years this is the best truck mattress I have ever owned.

    We went to Sleep Train... Got the Serta XL TWIN... SO much better than the 4" piece of #### that came in the truck!! Individual wrapped springs, for team driving, not as much bounce!! NICE!!

    I have the factory mattress plus a 1" thick memory foam with a cheap fleece blanket as a sheet. Very comfy.

    Thanks for all the replies! I can't find a single which is 36x74. My mattress is 36.5x80, at least thats what's on the tag. There is a custom manufacturer here but only foam, an I want a spring mattress. Looks like Big Rig I guess?

    That is the size of an extra long twin... We got ours at a local mattress retailer.

    Go to your local mattress store and give them the measurements. They can order you just about anything u need....

    Agreed. The upgrade was a real blessing when I was teaming with my g/f. The OEM mattress had so much bounce that every little change in the truck telemetry caused the sleeping one to wake up. After we got the new mattress it was incredible!! If I recall we were flipping coins and drawing straws to see who got to sleep on it first.
