I supplement the top pad with an 'egg crate foam' bedroll.  I happened to
gt one upon leaving the hospital once (but I think that they can be
purchased at medical supply stores).  I took an old sheet, wrapped it
around the foam, sewed it up as if I were making a pillow case.  During the
day I roll it up-not very big-at night I roll it out.  Jim McCarthy, '87
