Before I spend the money to upgrade the matress in my 180 I’d like to get some opinions! What did everyone buy and what are your thoughts!? TIA!!!

10" memory foam. 8" probably would have been sufficient, but I weigh 280 pounds and didn't want to take a chance on an 8" bottoming out. It does make accessing under the bed and making the bed more difficult due to the extra weight.

I just did a lucid 3 inch gel memory foam topper. Queen size. Will have to trim it a few inches to fit. You can mark it with a sharpie and cut it with an electric knife. Cuts like butter and I am extremely picky very comfortable. I have a trap door to access the water pump and winterization valves. I push the head of the mattress up and use a ratchet type strap to hold it in position just out of the way of the trap door. There are so many choices as you will find out and a very personal choice.

After 3 nights in our 177 we replaced with an 8" EuroTop short-queen mattress from Camping World. Not cheap but you get what you pay for. After 8 years (and we use it a minimum of 30 days/year) it is just as firm and comfortable as when the day we purchased it.

We got a custom made 2" memory foam topper at MattressInsider to fit the short queen perfectly. It is awesome.

I guess it depends on your weight. We tried two stacked 2" memory foam toppers and I still bottomed out the mattress. |

I went to a local bed manufacturer and had a short queen household bed made. It is a firm and is just like the one I have at home. The only problem if it is one is it is fairly heavy. That said I really it. Wasn't cheap about $500 but I like it.

10" memory foam Zinus mattress. What a difference from the factory being. Right around $200 on Amazon and worth every penny!

We got this 6" mattress and couldn't be more pleased. It's comfortable, doesn't raise the bed so high that you need a railing and ladder, and weighs less than the OEM which was absolute junk. The price went up about $20 since we bought it, but prices in Amazon tend to fluctuate depending on views and sales. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07J5HX864/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
