Wouldn’t it be possible to use the overland softgoods covers? As long as you have enough foam from the Hest
Nope. I have tried using 3-4 inches of foam and it’s too tight.
I had seen this thread in the past with little interest given the mattress doesn’t match the floor sections. However, if it did…
I would be highly interested.

When I visited Hest at Mtn Expo West in Denver, the individual I spoke to made it sound like it’s on their “radar” and something could possibly be released in the the next year.
To me, it’s an empty market right now and no one is answering the need or demand. It would be a little bit more involved though because you have to make brand new covers for the GFC to fit the custom cut foam. The foam would be awesome to have but without new covers, it’s pointless.

I agree. A solution that either replaces or can re-use the gfc covers would be ideal.
When I first got my OS topper I was able to fit it in them because I wanted to protect the foam a bit but it compressed it to the point where it was actually worse. I then stuck it on top and it was much better but still not quite as comfortable as I would like. But it seems to be the best option at this point until Hest graces us with an expensive upgrade that I’ll gladly pay for because you cant put a price on good sleep imo. Their pillows have already been a game changer for me.

No questions, but I did want to say how much I love my duallies, and how much more I enjoy my GFC, knowing I’ll sleep as well in it as I do at home in my bed. Having shoulder pain made me question whether I’d be able to spend many days in a row in the GFC, but my hest mattresses have alleviated that concern completely.

Yea I do have the say, the Hest is great. I have slept amazing since swapping it in.

Maybe Hest could do pads with their covers in the shape of the GFC panels, with velcro on the bottom. Add 3m velcro strips to the GFC panels and no need for new covers?

I spent 9 days in a row on the Hest. Slept amazing and didn’t wake up “aching” like I did in the past.
