Our used AF came with a knockoff Sleep Number bed with low quality air chambers that leaked. I replaced it with a "Zinus Responsive Memory Foam 10 Inch / Firm / Universal Comfort Support Mattress, Queen" from Amazon for $240. It's a huge improvement and I expect it to last a long time given the number of times per year it gets used.
I've heard of many folks who have had a positive experience with the Zinus brand of replacement mattress. I have an 8 inch queen size in a wish list on Amazon that I will purchase in the Spring for my 5'er. Price is currently $105.95 for the 8 inch. That seems like a deal any way you slice it.
We love ours. I ordered this one because we prefer a firm mattress and this was the firmest they offered. It's delivered by UPS or FedEx in a surprisingly small box because it's vacuum packed and rolled up. You simply lay it out and cut it out of its bag and it starts inflating instantly. They recommend waiting a couple of days before using. But, it seemed to get to full thickness in just a few hours. We waited anyway. Couldn't be happier with it.
