Is it worth it to buy my own Truck mattress?

So you just started your new job.  You jump in the cab of that truck, grab the wheel, and get ready to hit the road.  And then you look around.  This is home every time you hit the road.  Why not make it comfortable?  Often we hear the same thing from drivers, "My company provided me a mattress."  And while that may be true, the reality of logistics and budget mean that, in all likelihood that mattress has one of the following deficiencies:

---

• IT'S USED.  Often the mattress that is in the truck they issued you isn't new.  This can lead to a host of health and hygiene problems.  Dust, mites, bed bugs, sweat, mold... you name it, it's likely hiding in the confines of that used mattress.  And while outfitting their truck with your mattress seems a little counter-intuitive, the benefits of providing yourself with a good night's sleep easily outweights the cost of purchasing a mattress for someone else's truck. 
• IT'S UNCOMFORTABLE.  While top of the line sleep for their drivers should be a top priority for logistics companies, often drivers find that they have been issued a low-budget, uncomfortable sleep surface.  Remember, logistics companies are often replacing mattresses by the hundreds, if not thousands.  At the end of the day, budget is a major determining factor.  For you, a poor night's sleep can result in dangerous driving conditions, not to mention a host of other health problems.  A quality sleep surface and a good night's sleep are worth your investment. 
  
• IT BREAKS.  Busted springs, severe body impressions, ripped covers, coffee stains.  Your sleeper cab is your home away from home, and, consequently, it sees some heavy use.  Given that the average sleeper cab is only 50 square feet, it's inevitable that the bed, mattress, sheets, and more are going to wear out easily, particularly if you are being issued a lower quality sleep product. Our solid foam core truck mattresses are designed to withstand repeated daily use and stand the test of time and provide you with a comfortable night's sleep for years.

At the end of the day, a good night's sleep should be the number one priority of the American truck driver.  It will keep you healthier, and it will keep you, and those on the road beside you, safer.
