I really like my TuffStuff RTT, but the 3? Inch foam mattrest is too slim for me as a side sleeper. I picked up some long REI backpacking pads which I slip under the mattress and I am comfortable. But I wanted to find a permanent solution and enjoy the true convenience of the RTT.
I picked up a king sized 2 inch mattress topper second hand but unused. States it is memory foam, but it just feels like standard foam to me. At 6 ft x 6ft it isn't long enough for my TuffStuff RTT (58 x 92). So I cut the main section out and had enough material to cut out the end piece. With the OEM 3 inch mattress, it is a very tight fit and I needed to take an extra 2 or 3 inches off the sides to taper it a bit. After installing it, the mattress is much more comfortable. It still folds up fun but I may not be able to fit as much stuff inside and still fold it. Previously, I could have 5 sleeping bags and pillows and still fold it fine. When I was solo, I just left most of my clean clothes up there as well.
This is the mattress with green cover on the topper.
Her it is stuffed into the mattress cover. It is very tight and cumbersome tp make fit.
