I use a memory foam mattress topper that I cut down to size. I like
it, but it's a bit heavy and unwieldy to store.   I only use it on
longer trips, not for over-nighters.  I got mine from Costco and it is
the 2" thickness.  As comfortable as it is, in hindsight I wish I
could have found something thinner/lighter.
