Let's talk mattresses! Sweet, sweet slumber...

This past weekend was great camping... but the bed situation left a little to be desired.
The bed: The large S (Q) type.
We have an egg crate we put down over the made bed, but it became clear that we need more support.
I have a king-sized latex topper (from Brooklyn Bedding) that would probably be awesome, but would take up way more space than I would like.
I thought about another egg crate, and I am also contemplating restuffing the seat cushions with a significantly denser material.
I also wonder if an air mattress might not be a good call, as it would take up little space, but provide significant barrier between ourselves and the hardwood underneath the cushions.
Thoughts, ideas, current practices?

After a year we are still working on the bed situation ourselves. We did get a memory foam topper, and it has improved it for me, but I still like a softer bed while Becky prefers a harder bed (we have a Select Comfort at home). I think it is one of those things that you just have to try different things until you find something that works for you.

We tried a semi firm open cell 2in. topper fr BB&B, but it wasn't quite enough. Next we'll try our truck/tent mattresses, ala Thermarest ( thin but firm...and storable)

Well, I must be in the minority here, as I like the T@B cushions they way they are. I just use a 1-1/2 inch foam mattress from BB&B to "bridge" the seams in the cushions. Works for me.
