Not sure if this is on target, but it may help. We have a 1996 Coachmen, rear dinette model. Small dinette in back converts to a single bed. Mid-vehicle there is a side sofa that converts to a small double bed. We realized we really did not need an inside dinette, especially a small one, so we will start leaving that as a bed. The mid-vehicle sofa is a pain to convert each night, and is not especially comfortable, so we got a memory foam mattress topper, and we love it. But that is bulky. We store that and other bedding either on the rear single bed during the daytime, OR in the overhead overcab space. That makes the conversion easier. In this particular model, we also discovered that a couple jackstands under the fold out sofa helps present bed-sag. Newer models of the various brands probably don't have that trouble.
