I recently replaced all the foam and cushion fabric in my TT. I was lucky, in that my BIL is an upholsterer and we traded labor.
I investigated the memory foam and other options and decided to pass on the memory foam as I didn't want a heat problem (I like it cool when I sleep). I bought This 4" Medium Density foam in 72" X 24" blocks. The foam was cut with a foam saw but an electric carving knife works just as well. The cut pieces are joined with foam spray adhesive. The above supplier, Rochford Supply, also sells memory foam if you want that feature. It is cut and fastened exactly like the closed cell foam.
The upgraded foam and materials are like night and day. I also have a foam bed topper but we don't use it anymore, the closed cell is Goldilocks-"just right".
