No, but tangentially, I bought a wool mattress pad for the Westy GL
bed.  Expensive, but it will last a long time; it's much nicer than the
foam pad that was there before.  Was manufactured by:

Snug Fleece International
851 North Main
P.O. Box 1177
Pocatello, Idaho 83204

Their "RV Full" size pad is the same size as the Westy GL lower bed,
47x72 inches.  The Camping World chain store had "Full" size but not "RV
Full" which was only available in the mail-order catalog.  I don't know
if Camping World still sells them.

The "SnugFleece" pad stopped shedding wool fibers after a couple of
weeks of use, which is normal.  It has 4 elastic anchor straps on the
corners.  I have a "TravaSak" on top of it, which is a sort of wide
sleeping bag with removable sheets.
