SO now that you've had it this way for awhile, how do those 2'' mattresses sleep. I was thinking of doing this to my old Granby. Right now it has the 4'' mattresses with the fold down section instead of the slide extension. I was thinking of using a couple thick Thermalrest pads so I could still slide everything back on the cabover section during the day & when on the road. Any comments?

We're using an egg crate pad and down feather bed over the stock pads. That seems to do the trick.

The 2" mattresses are much too thin for comfortable sleeping, we added 2" of extra foam to ours and the combination is working out well.

I'm in the feather bed club too, works great.

We use 2 inch memory foam... I think I'd like to go even thicker than that though... I just wish there was a better place to store it.

Storage was the reason I was thinking of going thermalrest. I have a thick thermal rest clone that I use in hunting camp & it's very comfortable. It sounds like the consensus is that 2'' foam by itself is not enough - thanks for the input - this forum & expo are sure a great resource!

For what it is worth... I tried the thermarest route on our last trip and it wasn't nearly as comfortable as the memory foam.

We are very happy with the factory 4" from ATC. Of course, this is a total of 5 nights over 4 trips.
