The number one reason for us traveling in a camper is to be comfortable.
Bedding! I'm a air mattress person. I went Sleep Comfort at home. Wife is Memory foam.. No issue at home, but on the road may be.. What do you use and what do you like, dis-like about it? Me, I'm thinking I may not find a good 'air'.. |

I'm going to bet that finding an air bed that fits the space (74" x 60") will be a long hard search. Memory foam is another thing though; probably a lot of options.
We still use the original mattress.

I use the original mattress, then a quilt and down comforter. Then another down comforter over me. Perfect..I don't like it too soft.

The original mattress was pitched out of the 177 after 3 nights on it. The middle collapsed and was totally unusable. Replaced with a Eurotop (aka mattress in a roll), Have had it since the summer of 20111 and it is just a comfy now as it was brand new. You won't be disappointed with this mattress.

Camping World lists an R5 Short Queen Select Comfort Mattress. Be prepared for sticker shock though. It is currently on sale at $1329.97. List is 1900.00. I have seen it most often at $1600.
You might want to give the Zinus Short Queen memory foam mattress a look (on Amazon). We bought the 10 inch model. If I had it to do over again, I would have bought the 8 inch model though. The extra 2 inches of thickness and extra weight make it hard to maneuver for getting to the valves under the mattress platform in our 179. |

10" short queen memory foam mattress for us in our 179. We plan to cut it in half lengthwise to make two 30"-wide beds that are reoriented 90 degrees so that we have an aisle between them. We'll have to cut one to 60" long, but my wife thinks she can sleep in that space. It will also provide us with a night stand for my CPAP.

At home my sleep number is 35. After 3 back operations and being fused from L2 down to S1, I can't sleep on Memory Foam. I have gone with the twin AeroBed. I travel with a Cushman scooter and that is all, thus all I need is the lower bunk. The Memory foam wasn't cheep, nor was the AeroBed, but if you can stand a Cabelas air mattress on the floor, then try the AeroBed first. My 10 yr old granddaughter likes her new Memory Foam on her bunk bed! Good Luck.

We got a 3" foam piece and cut to fit. Works great. Our mattress was okay but made me stiff and sore. Maybe that is just old age.

I hear you and don't think so much of age, yet comfort. I should have added that at home I have the Select Comfort, but with a piece of Memory foam on top. To both of us it works. Wife likes it firmer so she adds more air then I. The foam takes up the spaces of side sleeping (both of us) and works. Just the foam for me will be to hard. I'll keep poking around to find a good air (with or without) a foam top. So far the 'toppers' seem thin (maybe 1-2"). Thanks for all the advise folks!
