On my class C, the cabover area is quite comfortable with the pad that's there. I think it may even have been more comfortable than the "real" bed with the original so-called mattress before I put a foam topper on that mattress. There's nothing that needs to be done for the cabover besides plonking the cutout portion of the mattress/cushion in place and laying out a pillow and a sleeping bag (or two).
My jackknife sofa may or may not be acceptably comfortable, I guess, provided you're short enough to fit. I'm too tall by several inches, so the length makes it very uncomfortable for me. I can't say how comfortable the dinette is in bed mode, as I've never slept there, but at least it's long enough for me; I would take it over the jackknife sofa every time.
In hot weather, the cabover bunk can become rather uncomfortably warm and stuffy, doubly so if you don't have side windows that can open for ventilation. A small fan may help that.
