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 !!!!!  |
This seems like an ingenious idea. Or maybe one could even get a cut piece of some sort of foam the same thickness as the mattress and 3 to 6 inches wide depending on how long you want to extend the mattress and stick that in the front when setting up and take it out when traveling.
