Hinge is killing our backs!

My wife and I have a travel trailer that has a pop out like a pop up camper....

What you described is called a Hybrid. There is a Hybrid section of the forum, maybe the moderator can move your post.

I installed carpet stick on squares on our PULL OUT POPUP beds. This helped us alot on our setup making them warmer in the cool months.

I'm surprised the full door drop down hinge would be under your bedding. You would think it only be at the start of the bedding.. Really haven't looked that close to the way the HYBRID doors drop down. I always thought that was a great idea however with the beds folding down from the outside instead of being pulled out from the inside like my POPUP does.

What type hinge. Most are piano hinge. You might look for a replacment hinge that does not stick up as high.. Also Walmart and others sale exercise mats that are about an inch or so thick made from very dense foam. We used a couple cut to fit on the bed of our PU. They will cover up many things and give just a bit more comfort over the wood..
