We did the loop this last year & found that the 2" memory foam that you can
buy at Target put on top of our fairly hard foam mattress made for great
sleeping.  We also put a very thick mattress pad over it & that took care of
any heat problems.  It's also very easy to cut to a non-standard bed size.  We
loved it so much we put one in the second stateroom & guests who have slept
there have gone home and purchased one.  Easy to do and quite an inexpensive
option.

Although we had a custom mattress made
for our boat, we bought a "memory foam"
topper for the mattress in our RV.  The
mattress in the RV was curable with the
topper, but  NOTHING  could have made the
original boat matress sleepable for me.
