RIM - FWIW - in our 3124 we tried to add a 2 inch memory foam mattress topper to the bed and the shell would not close. The latches were a good inch to inch and a half away from being able to close. We could have removed the topper each time, but one of our goals with this camper was to be able to set up and NOT have to make the bed!
We changed to a 1 inch topper and we are able to close the shell (with a little effort). The 2 incher made the bed very comfortable. My wife says the 1 inch one is marginal. I slept well on the original TM mattress, but, then, if DW doesn't sleep well, no one is happy!

(PS - I found a place on the web that will cut custom sizes of memory foam. Not sure how well they would work and they are not cheap.
