Anyone recommend a good place to buy bunk mattresses?
I bought mine at a local mattress place that makes their own innerspring mattresses. I got twin XL mattresses, but they are 4" narrower than normal. I went with more length as a lot of adults don't fit a normal twin mattress. I tried a foam mattress for a truck sleeper, but it was way too soft.
I need something in the neighborhood of 77 x 33. There is nothing near me that does anything like that. Right now I am using the foam from bus seats. It works but the middle is uncomfy.
For about $130 Walmart has a King or Queen size mattress topper that has a 2 inch piece of softer foam glued to a 2 inch piece of firmer foam. You can cut in half and shape it if needed and you can use both halves to give you 8 inches of foam.....no box spring needed. You just put the firm or soft side up, depending on which you prefer.
