Memory-foam mattresses
SleepDogMattress.com’s memory foam mattresses are built to sleeper-cab specifications. The company says memory foam is superior to traditional innerspring mattresses because it allows body weight to be distributed evenly, meaning drivers won’t suffer at pressure points that disturb sleep, resulting in truckers having more energy, more focus and fewer aches and pains.

Anti-idle unit
Bergstrom’s NITE Day Cab No-Idle System is a battery-powered air-conditioning system developed in response to growing demand for solutions to reduce idling in the day cab industry and increased regulations against idling. The system utilizes one or two deep-cycle absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries to power the A/C system. This keeps the driver cool when the truck’s engine is turned off. To assure there is sufficient battery power to start the truck, the starting batteries are protected from discharge by a separator.
