under mattress insulation

Tile

$20.00 for 4 tiles that are 2' x 2' (=16 sq foot)

Skipro, where do you find the wood grain foam interlocking pads, love that idea for the floor.

I've found fleece sheets, fitted sets even, for our camper. Like you pointed out, they don't hold moisture like cotton or flannel. The fleece sheets are grippy too and the fitted sheet stays on the mattress quite well.
Fleece sheets are practically dry coming right out of the washing machine spin cycle. I can throw them on the bed and within a few minutes, they are dry enough to make the bed.

You can find them on Amazon.

The foam tiles would work ... we use fold up exercise mats under the mattress in the truck camper. They are a little thicker than the roll up ones and if we ever need to sleep youngun's on the floor... we can yank them from under our mattress pretty quickly.

We found regular blankets can feel damp so we've switched to micro fiber/fleece blankets. I don't use regular cotton or even flannel anymore. Fitted sheets don't stay in place so we've just gone to the blankets being tucked under the mattress (I use a cutting board with a handle to push them under at the sides in the class A. In the TC I use foam noodles between the mattress and the wall. Slice them so they have one flat side.)They whisk moisture away from us ... they dry out in a few minutes in the morning. Then after showering I make the bed.

In the winter we have a small heating blanket (lap size) we turn on during the day to heat up the blankets and the mattress. We turn off the heating pad at night because you don't want to sleep under that electrical current.

And the secret to holding in the heat... is a small wool blanket as the top layer. We've fulltimed in a class A for 10 years... the TC is our get-away for the weekend rig...and a guest house for the Winnebago.

I use temperpedic carpet padding

I've noticed when heading out to the garage this winter barefoot, that the foam tiles I have in front of my work bench are very warm to my feet compared to the concrete. There are several options on Amazon. Easy to put under the mattress. I think I'll even try the camper floor as they are soft and warm to my feet. They come in a wood grain pattern for this;

Avoid any foam board with ink printing on it as the ink will bleed with a bit of moisture.

I used the anti fatigue mat from Harbor Frieght. Closed cell and gives a little.

I saw an image of an inflatable mattress being used between the overhead and the truck roof to insulate the area.

We use 1 inch foam board, Home Depot. Works well.
