My dad and I bought a 2000 Fleetwood Pace Arrow 37s. My mom and dad get the bedroom and my wife and I use the fold out couch. Problem is the mattress is pretty worn out - I can feel every spring!

So, where is a good online store that sells not only good replacements, but direct replacements?

Thanks everyone!

Check with the local matress companies they may be able to rebuild yours.

The aero bed from Target works very well, once you let the air out it will fold up in the bed.

Happy RVing

he other thing that we have done is to get a piece of thin (1/4 inch I think) plywood and cut it to fit over the metal where your shoulders to mid thighs lay. It really helped

So this sounds like a house couch where it has the fold out couch option and it has a thin little spring mattress? I assume there are those metal crossbars that you can easily feel in your back also?

Do a good search for fold out mattress, fold out couch mattress or something like that.

You could also just get a new couch that is designed a little better with a more comfortable mattress. Maybe something that is rv specific

You could buy a roll of the egg-foam and put it down when you drop the couch.

I'll bet the mattress isn't worn out. When we bought our '07 Day Break made by Damon, the mattress in the bedroom wasn't much more than cloth covered springs, I had a dickens of a time sleeping on it. Went to Walmart and bought a 4" memory foam topper and it did the trick.

Seems crazy, I know that you spend a life's worth of money on them and they put in the cheapest matteress they can find.
