    Guys,
    I am looking for recommendations on a 42x80 mattress for my KW.
    I took the old out out and now have nothing but a stainless steel slab.

    I see prices/types that are all over the map. KW has a replacement just like I had in there for $140 plus tax, which I didnt think was TOO bad.

    you can get a real mattress that fits--if you spend a lot of time in the truck it is worth it
    i think it is called a long single--those factory ones get kinda hard on the back in a hurry

    I've wasted about 600 bucks on "truck mattresses" in the last 2 years. My advice - get a real mattress. Yours and mine are twin extra long in the real world. They are used in dormitories and hospitals mostly and are pretty commonly available.

    I bought a twin x-long memory foam mattress for my 379, no comparison to sleeping on an oem mattress.

    the select comfort is the one im going with, from what I understand they make one that will fit the truck, and it is just under 600 bucks.

    A good bed will do wonders for your health.

    I just replaced mine with the Inner Space mattress and I really like it. It's made from Versitex foam, which is a lot like memory foam. I bought it at my local Pete dealer and it was $165.
