I am not sure if an insulating pad between the cab and camper would do much. In addition to the built in insulation, I sleep on 8" of a highly insulating foam mattress.
If cold is an issue, I have found two really significant improvements. I improved the gaskets on camper door and hung a curtain not above it. A heavy blackout curtain does wonders for privacy and to retain heat and stop the drafts. Indoor/outdoor carpeting on the floor made a huge difference. I thought it would be too difficult to keep clean but that has not been an issue. Next I put rigid foam insulation between the rails of the truck bed and the camper. That sealed the base between the truck and the base area of the camper. Any or all of these would be easier than trying to insulate over the truck cab area.
