the FR website says your 178 sleeping area is 60x74.  I have a 182g and use the dining table area with an air mattress in 58x74.  i sleep better in there than at home i think.  i have a "sound asleep dream series" from amazon.  You will need shore power or an inverter though to inflate/deflate.  I got an air mattress so i could deflate and put away.  if i had a dedicated bed, like yours, i would get the short queen size memory foam type and leave it there.

We bought the Zinus 8 inch memory foam short queen on Amazon.  It is super comfy.    And as far as the reviews go, we had no smell to report.  Some say when you unpack it has a smell that dissipates. 
I would highly recommend.

Got a queen size memory foam mattress pad from Costco, cut some off the bottom (or top?), and placed it on top of the factory mattress.  Best bed in the house.

After 3 nights on our stock mattress i was convinced it was more comfortable sleeping in my sleeping bag in the pup tent on the ground.  Out it went.  Replaced it with the Eurotop mattress; that was spring 2011.  Just as comfy now as when we first purchased it and it gets used a fair amount.  We average 30 days/nights/year.

We replaced all of our cushions/mattress with custom from The Foam Factory.

Excellent products and service.
