Subject:Re: Memory Foam for Rear Mattress

How about some type of Thermarest type pad?  Anyone found one that is
appropriate for the lower sleeping area?
    Mine isn't very comfortable with the two cross-ways seams. My rearmost
pad seems a bit different density than the seat pads..so when it's a bed I
would like to top it all off with something that would help even all that
out.  I somehow think memory foam would just not do it.  All the memory foam
I have slept on seems to settle into whatever irregularities there are
anyway, just like it conforms to your body's sharp places...
  Do they even make a double Therm-a-rest pad?  Those roll up nice and
compact and yet self-inflate to a nice firm pad.
