We shopped for a while and finally purchased a king size bed for the house. After 27 years of marriage we felt we finally deserved it. We loved the mattress so much, we replaced the one the camper with the exact same brand, style, and quality. At the time, this was our Springdale. When we bought our Outback, we were going to switch the mattress from the one in the Springdale with the one in our new Outback. But we never did, because (unbelievable) the mattress that came with the Outback was really a pretty darn good mattress!
We did keep the original mattress from the Springdale and put it back in when we sold it and keep the new mattress. We still have the mattress we use around the house as a spare (on the floor) when family comes home, or the wife and I get winter cabin fever, fire up the fireplace (real wood burning fireplace), put the mattress on the floor in front of it and sleep ohhhhh so good.
The point I'm making is, whatever mattress you are using in your home, get another one and put it in your camper! Yes, you can purchase just the mattress without having to buy the box spring. We have a Serta (full mattress, not queen) we purchased for our Dutchmen. So, actually we have 2 additional mattresses. We use one on the front porch in the summer now too.
