PYEONGTAEK, South Korea — You say your government-issued mattress is getting a little dingy and lumpy?

Rest easy. Camp Humphreys has a huge stash of new replacements.

Last month the folks at U.S. Army Garrison Humphreys’ furnishings office received the latest shipment in a monster order of new mattresses for soldiers living in barracks.

The $300,000 order, with shipments hitting the Busan docks in August and February, totaled 2,000 single mattresses, 450 double mattresses and 450 box springs, said Lance Guyton, chief of furnishings with the garrison’s housing division.

“We have 928 singles and 200 doubles left,” he said.

The shipments are part of a plan to ensure soldiers sleeping on old mattresses overdue for exchange would have new ones. Normally, the garrison’s mattress orders are for 100 to 200 at a time.

Some were issued last October to troops at camps Eagle and Long in Wonju. In December, mattresses were issued to those at Suwon Air Base.

Last month at Humphreys, the furnishings office began replacing mattresses there.

Guyton is reminding unit leaders to call his office at DSN 753-3007 or 753-3530 to ask about replacing mattresses for their troops.

They’re intended for unaccompanied soldiers who live in barracks — junior enlisted, noncommissioned officers and officers, Guyton said. Soldiers who live unaccompanied off-post also may be eligible.

“They do have an option, if their mattress is damaged or soiled, to change it out,” he said. “But the first priority is on-post soldiers in the barracks.”

The singles are for junior enlisted troops (pay grades E-4 and below). The doubles are for noncommissioned officers and officers.

“This is a quality-of-life issue,” said Guyton. “We need to get the soldiers’ mattresses in the barracks exchanged out. And the way to do that is, we have to get a request.”
