    Bought mine at the Sapp Bros in Percival, IA. Was 200 bucks but I like it a lot. I have a one inch memory foam laid on top but doubt it needs it. Just had it from previous mattress and didn't want to throw it away.

    And as stated, the beds are twin XL.
     
    Cetane+ and DocWatson Thank this.

    Those Big Rigs are kinda pricey and they don't offer any info on foam type, thickness or density or spring wire gauge or coils. $350 - 600 or more!

    The national big names are a ripoff as far as value. You can get the same quality or better for a lot less with local mattress mfr. with less markups and overhead. As a trucker you get to know who supplies who in industry. I know Leggett & Platt supplies the majority of major mattress companies with materials. Only the labels are different.

    I'm fixin to replace my sleeper's mattress and was shocked when a Serta lady quoted me $2500! I knew there was some incredible scam going on here because I've hauled into mattress factories and seen the rags and foam they use for beds.

    The research into the mattress industry scam is easily accomplished in this day and age with the internet.

    Learn more at themattressunderground.com and never overpay for a mattress again.

    I've got a few local mattress factories around middle TN area to choose from.

    I'll let y'all know what I get. I'm calling Daryll at Nashville Mattress Warehouse. He started his own factory in White Bluff not long ago. Nothing but good reviews from the locals.

    I've seen Sapp Brothers mattress, and remember wondering how would I put it in. I drive Volvo, so no sleeper door.
