    The most important part of getting quality rest is still overlooked I believe. Out of all the driver comfort upgrades that have come around in the newer trucks compared to 30-40 years ago, why has the mattress gone untouched?

    Any of you drivers out here have one of those sleep dog mattresses? How about you rich drivers out there, any of you have the dormeo octaspring that is a mere $3000?

    I never heard of a sheep dog matress.Anybody who can afford a $3000.00 matress,I wanna drive for their company.A little doctoring up you can turn a cheap board like matress like sleeping on a cloud.

    The sleep dog runs from $140 to $600 depending on the one you choose.

    Does'nt sound too bad.I'm getting a matress once I receive my court settlement in a couple weeks.But for a trk, memory foam and a matress pad works excellent on any matress.

    We own a Volvo 780 with the workstation so the cushions are the mattress. We bought a 3" gel memory foam topper from Costco and cut it to size. Amazing sleep.

    I have whatever it is my company provides. It is an upgrade over the standard International burlap sack stuffed full of newspaper. Has a pillowtop, and is super comfortable. Not sure what brand though.
