Replacement mattress
We are just returning from a 4 month trip to Alaska and the mattress in our 5th wheel will probably need to be replaced when we get home. My side of the mattress has an indent in it after I lay on it...

My TT has an el cheapo bonnel coil spring setup. Oddly enough, with a relatively thin topper on it, it is more comfortable than the more expensive mattress I have at the S&B place, just because it sleeps cooler, even in a Texas winter.
Because there is only a thin cloth covering, the mattress does breathe. However, if I were to go with a foam mattress, I'd definitely go with a Froli system or maybe roll or two of HyperVent. This way, air circulates under the mattress, so one doesn't get mildew underneath.
I wound up building an elevated (2") platform of 1x2s spaced 6" on center.That allows air flow between the mattress and the base.
