My old trailer had a light-weight Al-Foam sandwich supporting the short queen foam mattress. Didn't want to replace that, so added a 6" shelf at the end of the bed frame.

Only problem was the new mattress was too heavy for the supports. So Added a third 80# strut in the middle of the storage area and pointing in the opposite direction as those on the sides.
But with the new trailer we just pull out the mattress 4" and stuff the hole. Easier to get around during the day, much simpler, and I don't notice the difference at night.
