Got it done real nice. Bamboo pillows. Three inch memory foam mattress topper. Thick blankets. Sheets.
Do have a sleeping bag. Got at the start just in case. Keep it because my cat likes it.
What do you use for sleeping

Yep. New truck (Old truck) gets a new mattress first day always.
We will disinfect the thing 10% bleach for a few hours and it will be really nice like new inside.
Every truck we have been given (About 20+) in the last 5 or so years of our time OTR got a new mattress first day. -
I am up in Michigan and don’t like to sleep with truck on and can get the Webasco to run all night if I set it to 40 or so.
Bedding is fine thread sheets and a high quality heavy queen size down comforter doubled over with the fold against the back wall.
That way I can peel off a layer of it i get hot without the upper layer ending up on the floor .
I top it all off with a cheap light weight furry easy washable single size comforter.
I tuck that upper comforter in tight against the back wall and at my feet .
Snug as a bug in a rug. I sleep like a Bear lately with this setup
A Benadryl doesn’t hurt some nights also -
I have a memory foam mattress topper, sheets, and two comforters. In the summer one comforter. In the winter two comforters. I keep a mummy style sleeping bag rated at 20°F as backup, to add to the mix in case my truck breaks down when it's below zero.
I sleep better in my truck than when I am home.Dan.S, Trucking in Tennessee and WesternPlains Thank this. -
OEM mattresses are junk. We bought a $500 twin xl and love it.

You mean like mites and skin dander?
Most mattresses gain weight each year. I can’t remember the average.
I team with my husband so the bed has to be comfortable to get sleep while driving. We have a memory foam over the supplied mattress (was new in plastic) decent sheet set, blanket, comforter and lots of pillows. We put 2 long pillows at each end (this helps with that extra space the mattress doesn’t take up and 6 regular size pillows. When we are in bed together I’m on the outside and I use one pillow to put up against the wall where the clock and apu switches are. It blocks the light and makes being squished against the cubby a little more comfortable.Lepton1 Thanks this. -
