    Keep telling the boss I need a new mattress, that inner spring sucks. The last truck I demo'd had a memory foam, took a 2 hour nap on it, felt so nice.

    If it's a good mattress then 300 is a good deal.

    I love their K cups. Just bought 48 Arabica for 23.95.

    I can tell you right now that would be a hell of a mattress.

    I have spent my life fighting the crappy foam mattresses in the big trucks. I might have a roadtrip in mind to get it.

    Anyway my solution was to place two rectangular two man sleeping bags under, mattress on top then 4 body length pillows followed by several Mexican blankets and normal pillow to make what I call a nest in one of the sleeper corners. Once wedged in place I could care less how badly my spouse drives. Or how bad the concrete was.

    My solution is very extreme.

    Insulation in my time we had cabovers. Nothing but a strip of metal under there. Whatever air was outside is what you got on that metal. Toss the bags under the matress and stop worrying about getting frosty.

    The habit carried over into conventional and has a secondary rule. In case of a dead truck and help coming those bags offer a chance for wife and I to keep alive a while. Provided there is water to use.
