Memory Foam pads?

[monkey44]

We need a new mattress in our Truck Camper - and of course, headroom is an issue in the cab-over.

We now have a standard mattress in it, about 7"/8" thick, and would like to try what's called a 'memory foam' (4" thick) topper. Any reason it can't sit on the cab-over floor directly -- will probably put a half inch of solid insulation under it and lay it on that.

Any comments on this method or mattress type -- it seems a great answer for the shorter head-room area too.

The 'memory foam' part does not really 'remember and form' itself, right? It returns to the flat/level foam when you move or get off it? Is that accurate? Thanks BD

I tried a 4 inch memory foam pad on the plywood of our motor home bed. It was not comfortable at all. Ended up with a 2.inch foam pad on top of the motor home mattress. We thought it very comfortable. Of course we did not have to worry about had room.

Actually we got a 4 inch memory foam topper a few months ago. We let it air out on our living room floor for a few days before putting it on the bed. While on the floor we laid on it to _______. Very comfortable. I fell asleep after _______ slept really well.
So I say it will be fine

I know, I tried to sort through them, but a lot go off topic pretty quickly. And most talk about the topper going on a regular bed, not directly on the floor of the cab-over. Might be a little different, so looking for that cab-over experience.
