New Mattress
Im not real impressed with the mattress in my Peterbilt 386 and want to replace it.
I have the brochure for the PosturXpress brand. Anyone using anything else? Thanx.

If you can afford it, what i've found is that the tempur-pedic or similar memory foam mattresses rule.
But that's just me. I can show you what i'm using as soon as i get around to inputing the pictures on to my computer.

When I once drove a truck with a terrible matress I measured it and went to a local matress factory and had one custom made. Got a nice pillow top for $150.00.
I used it for several years and would still have it today if I had not been stupid and let my oldest son use it when he had a friend of his spend the night.

Im going to measure it today and see how close it is to a regular full size mattress I could buy locally.

I have a new mattress in my '07 Freightliner that I was not impressed with. Just added a 1" memory foam (cost $40) and sleep much better. Try a topper first before you lay out the bigger bucks.

dont make it too soft...youll need good support for your back. If you start with a deformed matress or a too soft matress, the only thing thatll help is a sheet of plywood over it and then memory foam
Just dont get a sping matress in case you have to team at some point. Can you imaging breaking your nose on the top bunk while asleep??
