30IB Mattress Replacement Suggestions

Hello Group,
 We are in a quandary about replacing our mattress. Our '06, 30IB mattress really needs replacing. We're using a 3-inch topper but that isn't enough. Our rig sat for many years in the desert heat and it has taken its toll on the foam.
 The 1^st option is ordering a new one from the factory but I'm concerned that it will again be too firm.
 The 2^nd option is ordering something on-line in a custom size. The problem there is that we won't be able to lie on it before we purchase.
 The 3^rd is finding a manufacturer in Southern California and having one custom built. That option will probably be the most expensive. The problem is that I've not been able to find anyone who specializes in RVs. Any suggestions?
 And the final option would be to purchase a quality piece of memory foam, use an electric knife and carve one out for myself. Probably the cheapest but not the best looking option.
 So, I am hoping for advice and suggestions.I am not opposed to ordering one from the factory since we live so close. Has anyone found a solution that has worked for you?

Thanks in advance.

Jules

If you live close to the factory, why not just go there and do a test "lie down" in a floor model? Even if they don't have a 31' on display, you would still get an idea of the "feel" of the mattress.

I looked at Select Comfort but the sizes don't match up and we don't have a plug close to the bed.  There is one on the opposite wall but then you have the cord you'd have to step over.  Thanks for the suggestion.

I had put a queen Tempur-Pedic in my diesel pusher and moved it to a house bedroom when we were not using the DP very much. I replaced that mattress with a Camper World spring and foam combo, costing around four hundred dollars, I think... I do not remember a brand name, but I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable it was since I was used to Tempur-Pedics. Unfortunately, our Norcold refrigerator set fire to the DP, ruining the new Camper World mattress.
 So, I would recommend Camper World's higher-end mattresses. I also used a gel-filled mattress cover for the bed--It was not a topper per se, but a mattress cover with a gel-type padding, costing about a hundred dollars. It, too, was ruined in the fire. Together, they were good to sleep on and certainly were more reasonably priced than some other solutions.
 Regarding Camper World mattresses, check first, but you probably can return them if you are not satisfied.

Good luck. A comfy mattress is a must. s/Terry Apple
