I'm just getting around to responding, and I'm lazy so I did not read all your responses.
Memory Foam could be NOT HOT beginning, I'm not sure when, maybe about 6-7 years ago. It can be wonderful if one understands what to purchase. Hot memory foam is still out there. With the Hot stuff, not everyone finds it hot, but I sure did.

I'm single and my B is perfect for traveling solo. I have a Roadtrek 190P, a regular Chevrolet Express van, not widened. I do find the "twin" to narrow! It was easy to simply have Home Depot cut a sheet of plywood the right size. Then I cut a little more at home to fit the back of the van. Just removed the cushion, put down the plywood with nothing else, no screws etc. I use 3 layers of different foam with the top layer cool memory foam that I cut to the right size. The bed is 6" wider as 27 inches was just too narrow. It is a wonderful bed. There is still plenty of room in the isle to move around.
If someone drinks much alcohol, a cool memory foam is a MUST and for some that don't still a must.
If you need info concerning what the different layers of foam need to be, please let me know.
Have fun wondering around.

I love the idea of a Sprinter Van conversion, but haven't seen one yet that offered something that looked like I could actually sleep on for a week at a time.
As an alternative, I'm considering a 5th wheel.
