The Road Trek 210 Versatile that we are looking at has the lounge in the back that makes into a bed. Can you feel the gaps in the cushions, or is there a 'topper' that goes over it? Is it easy to do? Does anyone leave it as a bed primarily or do you always switch it back?
We have a Great West, but same idea. We tried and then returned a memory foam topper -- too hot for us, and a nuisance to store and set up. Then we bought Travelsaks, use that directly on top of a mattress pad. Bingo.
We put it up in the morning cause we like to use the sofa as a lounge for reading, etc. One of us can be up front using one of the seats as an ottoman. Works out pretty well on those rainy days. Nice separation for a small MH.
We have the Pleasure-Way Sprinter Plateau with the electric couch. We used Thermarest pads with sleeping bags, then we used the Thermarest pads with sheets and blankets and then last week we just used sleeping bags. I found it comfortable but then I have a Select Comfort Sleep Number bed at home cranked up to a maximum of 100.

If the 210 beds are made like the 190 beds (about 3" of upholstered dual-density foam over plywood), I find them pretty darn comfortable, tho' the 190's as twins are a bit narrow. But I sleep on a very firm mattress at home. I only used the 190's bed as twins, so have no valid comment on the cushion joints.
But I'll second or third the Sleep Sack recommendation, and point out that they're [i]available on-line for about 1/2 what the [u]spammers at Camping World [/u]will over-charge.[/i] Just add blankets on top if needed.
(on edit, 'Sleep Sack' above shoul.d be the well known Travasak [or however they mispell it] ... D'uh! Senior brain fart.. boy, those stink! :))

We enjoy the Travelsak over 1.5 inch memory foam and sleep just great. If I'm by myself alone, I just use the Travelsak and it works great for me. We usually put it up during the day, except when traveling, and then it's just easier to leave it down for naps.

We have the 190 Versatile (2004 Chevy.) I can tell you that the bed is very comfortable as is. We do not feel any gaps whatsoever. In fact, I think it is as comfortable (if not more comfortable) than the bed in the house.
We use a sleeping bag (L.L. Bean) that has sheets built-in. Quite convenient and very comfortable. Easy to pack, easy to make the bed. We like to use the lounge area during the day instead of leaving it as a bed setup.
What exactly is a travelsak? Have been meaning to ask the question about what is easier to use sleeping bags or mattress pad, sheets blankets.
Glad the subject came up.

DABEE a 2006 Ford Sportsmobile Penthouse top.
States we've camped in.
I'd call it a sheet lined sleeping bag.
Never used one, but they seem really nice.
They are available in several sizes.
BLURBS from the Website! ...
One comforter is marked "WINTER" and has twice as much insulation as the other comforter, which is marked "SUMMER". For more warmth, sleep with the "WINTER" comforter on top, for less warmth, simply turn the Travasak over.
The Travasak Sleep System is two high-quality comforters with a complete bed linen set, including the necessary sheets and pillow case(s), all for the price of just one quality comforter.
The "Winter" comforter side is filled with a full 10 oz. per yard of exclusive hypoallergenic Travafil®II insulation
The "Summer" comforter side is filled with 5 oz. per yard of exclusive Travafil®II insulation
Comforter material is water-resistant to resist soiling from spills and condensation
Sheets and pillow case (s) are genuine 200 thread count Percale of 65/35 cotton polyester blend for a luxurious feel and long wear
No wrestling with top sheets, blankets, or corners. When it’s straight, it’s made. Also, since the widths are wider than your mattress, the Travasak drapes over the edge for a nice look when the bed is not in use.

The sheets come out of the sack for washing (velcro all around the side and foot end. The dual thickness cover allows light or heavy warmth. In use it's all one piece so you don't have to make the bed, just roll up the sacks.
