We have an Elkmont 24, and we also found the mattress to be a bit hard, We got a 2" "topper" from Walmart, ($ 98.00) and that made a world of difference. One CAVEAT! Once this topper has been placed on the bed, the hydraulic struts may not support the bad in the open position any longer. You can oipen it but if you let go, the bed will come down. I went to Lowe's and got a 48" section of 3/4" PVC pipe, and fitted one of those rubber dingies for a walking stick or chair on the tip and we now use that to hold the bed open. Works fine.
