How about some type of Thermarest type pad?  Anyone found one that is
appropriate for the lower sleeping area?
    Mine isn't very comfortable with the two cross-ways seams. My rearmost
pad seems a bit different density than the seat pads..so when it's a bed I
would like to top it all off with something that would help even all that
out.  I somehow think memory foam would just not do it.  All the memory foam
I have slept on seems to settle into whatever irregularities there are
anyway, just like it conforms to your body's sharp places...
  Do they even make a double Therm-a-rest pad?  Those roll up nice and
compact and yet self-inflate to a nice firm pad.
