Hi Don,
 
You can get a topper in 1-1/2" thickness, it rolls up rather nicely since it compresses so well.  Make a cover from an old sheet, make it like a duvet cover that is removeable for washing; that will keep the dog hair off and keep it cleaner.
 
I bought a queen topper and cut it exactly in half; one half for my Lola, and one half for my friends RV.  I wouldn't consider sleeping in either one without it!  Don't wait for a light to appear at the end of the tunnel; stride down there.....and light the bloody thing yourself." ~Dara Henderson> Date: Fri, 15 Aug 2008 08:22:30 -0700> From: dhanson@GORGE.NET> Subject: Bed "pads"?> To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> > I saw a recent post about memory foam bed topper pads.
