If you have a Westy, maybe your seat cushions are flat and have the same
comfort as the rear cushion. Those of us with Carat / Wolfsburg beds have to
contend with a rear seat that's molded for seating and those undulations can
be quite uncomfortable when used for a bed, so I've been thinking about a
mattress topper as well. What's held me back is that a topper is one more
bulky item to travel with in my van that has open space but no cabinetry.
