    That’d be the one to get. I got the 8” Kingsize at Walmart. Delivered to the house. One week later, they had the 12” on rollback for about half the price. I almost ordered it, and cut down the other for Truck. Should have, still need one for the Truck. TwinXL are scarce. QueenXL or King, being 6” Longer fit Truck, lengthwise. I think 54” x 80”? Fits Truck.

    Had my 12” memory foam in the truck for over 2 years now. Just remember that memory foam freezes solid, so when you get into the truck after being home for a week in northern Wisconsin in January, you ain’t laying down for a while

    I paid ~$2K a piece for 2 purple3 mattresses. One queen at home. One twin XL for the truck. This present Volvo has an exceptionally good mattress. I'd estimate it at about 90% of my purple3.
    Yes, I do think my cost of my purple3's is worth it.

    For a long time, I was in the "$200 Walmart mattress is good enough" crowd. Spent a couple grand on a latex mattress, and I'll never look back. If people only knew. Mine is made by Dunlop.

    For anyone that doesn't know about latex mattresses, they're kind of like a cross between a regular mattress, and a memory foam mattress. Meaning you don't "sink" into it like memory foam. Another cool thing is how when you buy a brand new regular mattress, within six months, they already feel like they're getting worn. With latex, it straight up feels the same as the day you bought it for over ten years, and when it reaches the end of life, it degrades rapidly over about six months. I'll never go back to any other mattress.

    No regrets. Bought mine online though. It's worth spending money to feel rested in the morning.
