Yeah, now that you mention it, that was part of the reason I chose the
head-aft position. That plus the fact that I'm 6'2" and don't like my head
hanging off the end and my pillow repeatedly dropping into the void. Anyone
else unsatisfied with the hardness of the "mattress"? I carry a 1.5 " foam
rubber pad now to go on top of it and now it's better than my mattress at
home!
