Has anyone added a memory foam topper to the crappy RPOD bed foam? I have a 176 with bunk beds and am looking for a memory foam topper to make them a little more comfortable. Any recommendations for upgrading the comfort of the bunks?

I had a 172 with the identical bunks you have. I added a sealy 3 inch gel topper, and it was much better. I don't know what year you have, but my bunks had a 250 pound limit, so your options are kind of limited. Good luck ------------- 2017.5 Rp-172 2020 R-pod 195 2015 Frontier sv 4.0L 6cyl I'll be rpodding |

The OEM mattresses are so crappy it’s better to just get rid of them and buy decent memory foam mattresses. Adding a topper is like putting a bow tie on a pig. IMHO. Pretty good prices on Amazon or other online stores. ------------- 1994 Chinook Concourse 1995 RV6A Experimental Aircraft 2015 Rpod 179 - sold |

Have not had a bunk bed, but after trying a topper on our OEM short queen mattress for a bit we just bought a new mattress. ------------- Greg n Deb 2020 195 HRE '07 Tundra 5.7L., '17 Tacoma 3.5L. Both with tow packages 1 Puggle, 1 Chihuahua support staff |

I think our pig looks pretty darn good in his bow tie.

After 3 sleeps in our new 177 it was quickly replaced by an 8" Eurotop (a.k.a. mattress in a roll). It is still just as firm and comfortable as the day we got it and that was almost 10 years ago. ------------- God's pod '11 model 177 '17 Ford F-150 4WD 3.5 Ecoboost Jim and Diane by beautiful Torch Lake "...and you will know the Truth and the Truth will set you free." |

My apologies. I certainly meant no disrespect to our porcine friends, just to FR’s crappy mattresses. 😜 ------------- 1994 Chinook Concourse 1995 RV6A Experimental Aircraft 2015 Rpod 179 - sold |

+2 +3 +4 +5 on the mattress! You would think after 10+ years they would put something just a bit nicer than what they put on the original 2009 models . . . . but they have NOT. ------------- God's pod '11 model 177 '17 Ford F-150 4WD 3.5 Ecoboost Jim and Diane by beautiful Torch Lake "...and you will know the Truth and the Truth will set you free." |
