We took our 8.0 out close to four years ago one night, on a trial run, and had a horrible night sleep on the factory mattresses! After that I was on the hunt for a solution. I found a great website that specializes in fitting odd mattress sizes in campers, semi trucks, etc. https://www.mattressinsider.com/custom-mattress.html

I gave them the measurements and most importantly the HEIGHT I wanted, because it was very important the camper close correctly. It cost $350 for one mattress, which is steep in my book, BUT it's a Temperpedic type bed, and I have to admit, my husband and I get a better night sleep in the camper than at home! Because its memory foam its compresses easily. No messing with air mattresses, foam toppers, etc. For the time being we purchased 1 mattress for my husband and I and stacked the two factory mattresses on the other bed for our two young kids, who said they sleep great (they're kids! ;). Eventually we will upgrade their side as well.

It's paid for itself over the years I will add...we've logged MANY miles on the camper over the last few years!

Hope this helps!

Yes! It absolutely can loosen! We used a few very heavy duty zip ties (bought at Harbor Freight) around the tube to the frame. That way if the screws loosen you won't loose your support poles!  :)
