Sorry to hear about all of your sleeping woes. Our 2008 Hallmark Guanella has an amazingly comfortable queen size bed with a moderately dense foam mattress. We sleep really well, back and neck feel great in the morning. In fact, we've even used the camper as a guest bedroom at our house and guests have been impressed. Maybe if you call Hallmark Bill will divulge his source.
We have also used an inflatable mattress over the convertible dinette bed to widen it so the kids don't fall off the edge into the aisle (we stack tupperware tubs in the aisle flush with the level of the bed cushions to create a single flat platform to set the mattress on). However, we used a cheap and fairly uncomfortable "full size" Coleman mattress that didn't fill the space and had deep dimples and slippery plastic material that tapered down at the edges. We're not using an air mattress now because the kids are doing fine sleeping on the dinette bed as designed (it's bigger than most dinette conversions) as long as we put padded tubs in the aisle to avoid a long, jarring drop if they roll out.
Eventually when the kids are big enough to need more space we intend to put them into the upper cabover bed and use the tubs to make a platform again alongside the dinette conversion and really fill the space with a comfy queen inflatable mattress. We'll sleep down there for easy exit and the kids will get the nice upper berth.
