Air Mattress ?
Anyone use an air mattress in their camper? I am looking at trying one. The OEM one in our AF camper is flat as a pancake I cant believe that they would put such a piece of junk in their campers. Shou...

You need a slow-conducting solid under your pad to slow heat transfer the greatest: liquid the fastest, gas the slower, solid the slowest. That's why ice melts slower if you remove the melted water in the cooler, same laws of thermodynamic transfer.
Any air cells with greater than 1/4 inch will convect heat away from the body. Keep an insulation layer between you and the mattress and you are good to go.
