    The grey ones I've never tried but the black ones must be the "premium" option. I can tell they are not cheap.

    This company I'm with had a older Columbia and the mattress in that thing was basically two pieces of cardboard with some bouncy springs in the middle. Total crap.

    I know this post is seven years old and it's a long shot but here goes. What is your definition of super heavyweight and do you still swear by Big Rig Matress?

    Whatever you can get between you and that plywood, plastic or steel.

    You never get comfortable what with the incessant freezing or broiling in no idle trucks, constant restarts and stopping of engines, howling reefers, incessant propaganda from safety telling you to be safe while you are bleary and scratchy eyed unable to drive until later in the day. All those messages. Or even ringing phone from everyone. Not to mention lawmen banging on your door to move it, truckstop security telling you to move it and lumbers beating on your sleeper o dark early telling you need a LUMPER? Or prositutes rocking your cab airride hoping to score 60 dollars quickly for your trouble.

    Sleep comfortable? HA...

    Thanks @Upinsmoke. That looks like a good deal. I can't see paying $500 for a mattress for the truck like I've read other places.

    Did you try this one?

    I bought a drift as well. Best investment so far. A seat will be next.
    To those that think $500 is too much to pay for something you spend a third of your life on are crazy.
