    You can find a perfect fit. Walmart mattress in a box. Not bad at all. Bought a 6” King for home. A week later they had the 8” on sale for a bit less. I was Pi#### off!! One option would to get a queen size, cut it down, and use the cut off, to make pieces at each end. Be sure to get a firm foam, if you decide on foam. Lots of affordable options. Amazon has quite a few good deals.

    If your a company driver you cant do anything with out the companies approval. So check with them first!
    Tho as to a Mattress. I personally prefer a futon over a mattress. Futon mattresses tend to be around as low as $50 to as much as $200 (depending on where you shop). I recently replaced the queen sized mattress and it only cost $125.

    I bought an expensive foam mattress topper from Walmart (Approx 169). My truck bed sleeps extremely well.

    Worked in ops, they don’t care about the mattress. You can leave them at the shop and make a note of who you told you weren’t going to use it if you would prefer to use your own. The good companies put new mattresses in, each time a new driver gets in.

    I just get boxed mattresses off Amazon. Twin XL. The Kenworth had gaps on all three sides but I just store stuff there. Freightliner only had gaps on two sides but it's still just storage.
