If you have a Truckpro parts store near you, they usually have them. Fleetpride should also carry them. You can also check with your local truck dealer. If you want a regular mattress then measure your bunk and go to a local mattress store.

Well.......If you want a comfortable bed...forego buying a truck mattress, and go buy your self a Tempurpedic! Or...whatever mattress you like!! Get a truck mattress of the top bunk.

Rocky Mountain Mattress. They'll make you a custom size mattress out of any material you want (I bought a Talalay Latex two years ago and LOVE it). They aren't cheap, but they will last longer than your truck and you will never get a better night's rest.

I lucked out and the Western Star has the same exact dimensions as a single bed, so I spent $55 at the local mattress store for a Sealy Posturepedic and it works great!

Freightliner has some descent ones and the price is about $100, I enjoyed mine in my Columbia when I had it 4 years ago.

you know you hear those sleepdog mattress commercials on sirius? I bought one and don't regret it. yes, it's pricey, i think I paid $350 or $299 or something i had to get the biggest one. Going from the stock freightliner mattress to the sleepdog was like sleeping on a cloud. Literally a huge difference in comfort. I could rest and sleep wel, and not be tired all the time with the same amount of work. I carried the mattress over into the Volvo I own now, and it's still better than the stock foam mattress... Not a decision I regret. Highly recommend. (that is if memory foam is your style.)
