Subject:Bed "pads"?
From:Don Hanson
Date:Fri, 15 Aug 2008 08:22:30 -0700

I saw a recent post about memory foam bed topper pads.  My 84 with the
partial westie (fold down bed with a foam pad behind over the engine cover)
needs something to make the bed more comfortable.  As is, it's a bit
'interrupted' by the crease between the seat back and bottom and also where
the foam pad meets the seat (in bed mode)
  What do people use to "top-out" these lower beds?  I've been onto the web
and see 'memory foam' pads for reasonable cost.  The ones I see all have an
'egg-carton' texture on one side..Not something I want with all the dog hair
and sand that seems to find it's way into my bunk..Do they make pads that
are smooth on both sides?  Does that foam come in various densities?
  What thickness can one get by with?  I think the thinnest possible pad
would roll up the most compactly when the bed is up in the seating position,
leaving more room for  camping stuff..
  Thanks,
  Don Hanson
