As the time of my full time A/S dwelling fast approaches, I find myself without a mattress for my center twin. In researching traditional mattresses for home use, I find they are much wider than the space I have available (33" X 76"). Most home style twins are 37"-38" wide.
I don't want to go back to the cheap foam pad that was there, as I'll be sleeping here for quite some time. I've seen ads for box mattresses from various RV stores, but they state they can be "rolled up for convienent shipping". Rolled up! What kind of support can I expect from a mattress that fits in a mailing tube? 
Any suggestions you enlightened owners (and hopefully sound sleepers) can shed on this problem would be greatly appreciated. What mattress do you use, and where did you find it (once again, I need it to fit within my space limitations)? Has anyone tried the folding mattress from the RV suppliers? Any buying suggestions?
Thanks!

When refurbishing the interior of my '64 Overlander (center twin), I had a local custom mattress shop produce a pair of innerspring mattresses for the project. There was a $75 up-charge for special sizes, but the result was certainly worth the additional cost - - the mattresse are so comfortable that I have purchased duplicate sets for both my home bedroom and guest bedroom as well. I believe that the pair was in the vicinity of $750. Mine were purchased from
Lebeda Mattress Factory in Marion, Iowa. You will likely find several such manufacturers in your local yellow pages.
Good luck with your investigation!
