Oh. I have considered buying it to do just that. I’m not sure if it would yet. The 3” Amazon one was a snug fit.

So how is laying on the Hest thus far?
I like it
Looks like Hest is doing a 20% sale for everyone on their site!

I got my Dually yesterday and popped them into the tent. My take so far:
- Width fits perfectly
- Length is shorter than the tent, but, not the end of the world
- You can fold it to the side, or towards the front
- I’d like to do something with the edges of the square panels
- I don’t think cutting it up and putting it in the transform-a-floor canvas panels is feasible. You’d loose a lot of the benefit of the mattress by pre-compressing it (See attached picture. I’ve got a 3" memory foam in there now)
Took a nap in there yesterday and it’s way more comfortable for me. I’ve got a bad back and hip so it’s worth it for me.
Side note: I’ve got a precut 3" Memory Foam mattress someone else recommends and a set of Overland Softgoods Sheets I’ll put up for sale.

I ordered a Hest from REI just in case.
I did find some similar “open cell” foam though online and bought a 3 in topper $50 for a queen. Many reviews say that the cold weather doesn’t affect it like normal memory foam. I asked to buy foam directly from Hest but they couldn’t do it.
If it fails, will most likely do the Heat like you did.

Just a thought…I’d probably cover those panels in indoor/outdoor carpet. Would look good I bet. Might do that if I fully switched to the Hest.
While not in a GFC but I thought this was interesting LA cruiser cut up his HEST for the Camptec popup

I may make custom covers that will fit the Hest mattress in the future. You only really need to do the panels that pop out. I’m sure my legs/feet don’t care.

I will be testing some open cell foam I found for $50 first. Will report back with some colder temperatures.
Any luck with the amazon foam?
Care to share the product you went with?
The foam WOULD work (down to ~40º maybe slightly cooler), but I have determined bigger mattress covers are needed. I reached out to @overlandbedz but no response. He was making 4 inch GFC covers which would be perfect. Someone on the foams used them + the Hest and it worked perfect.
