New Mattress

Hi. We are the proud owners of a 2008 Surveyor Sport SP-186. The previous owner had installed an Aerobed, which if fully inflated, tried to pop out of the space allotted! We bought a Walmart 6 inch memory foam mattress. This was about 6 inches too long, so I smashed it between two 2X4s and cut it with a bread knife, worked great! This mattress was really comfortable and not too pricey as memory foam goes (actually has about 2" of memory foam over stiffer foam).

I just bought the same mattress (sitting in the delivery box right ow). Glad to hear it is comfortable because the bed that came with my TT is pretty bad.

Hey Y'all..

We too have an Aerobed. Replaced the mattress that came with our new toy hauler. I think we slept on the original mattress only a couple of times and decided it HAD to go!

A new regular innerspring replacement mattress was just top expensive at the time...so Aerobed it is.

Sleeps pretty well....however had to have Aerobed to send a replacement because it was leaking air. So we have a brand new bed... and will use it on our next outing. We do not have a foam mattress topper ...buit we are looking for an electric heated mattress pad.

We will at some point purchase a innerspring mattress...going to get Original Mattress Factory make us one. We sleep on one every night ( when we are not camping).

I purchased one a year or so ago from Ebay, paid $290 delivered was great replacement for the cheap ones that can come in a RV.
Happy Camping!!

Yepper, the beds are pretty bad. We replaced ours with a customized size from The Original Mattress Factory.

After going through three Aerobeds that each developed leaks in the pumping and valving mechanism after a couples of months, we gave up and switched to a conventional mattress with the memory foam topper. We have a heated mattress pad on it and it's real cozy now.
