We've been doing that when we get set up in a park, and just put the roll pillows under the bed when we travel. The only reason I don't leave them in place when travelling is because they do put the mattress very close to the sliding door to the bathroom and I don't want to have the mattress sliding into that door and possibly doing any damage to the hardware.

Just a consideration, but you'd be surprised how you never feel what's under your pillow at the head of the bed. It's a lot cheaper than a custom mattress !!!!!
Wow! Great idea! I am 6 ft tall and could use another 6" bed length but don't want to invest in a whole new mattress! Gonna take your suggestion when we head out for our last trip of the season in 2 weeks! THANKS!
