As we spoke before Henry, it is hard to beat the Eurotop mattress. Ours is 7 years old and is still firm and comfortable. The price may be a bit stiff, but, I rather have to bite the bullet rather than end up with a stiff back while on vacation because of a poor mattress, like the one you get standard with the pod. There are quite a range of prices for these on Amazon and Ebay.

A good topper, memory foam or otherwise, made my Pod mattress MUCH better. I found a 4 inch topper at Walmart for a lot less than a new mattress.
But if I was spending a LOT of time on the road camping, I would likely go for a much better mattress too.

Good luck Henry, not much different than what comes with the Pod.

I would like to find a 4 or 6, like a futon.

If I had a redo, I would go with 8" vice 10", the ten is heavy, glad I don't make bed often or mess with water heater valves.

They also make an 8” if the 10 is to heavy.

Look for "short Queen" mattresses. They will fit perfectly. We have a 10" memory foam mattress, but some people find them too heavy to make up easily.

They have a lot of nice mattresses on the Camping World site and also Amazon.

I'm still looking for a good quality mattress. The factory mattress on my 2016 171 is collapsing on the edge. I would like to find maybe a relatively firm futon mattress if I can find the right size. (74 1/2 X 62). Any suggestions?
