Hest's 'Foamy' Mattress Made My Roofnest Perfect After Long Days Elk Hunting

I've spent many a night sleeping in my Can-Am Maverick X3's Roofnest Condor 2 since I picked it up a few years ago. Most of the time, I use it for when I go hunting, as it's the perfect perch for long weekends or short weeks in the field. It gets me off the cold, hard ground and fits my rather large frame perfectly. 

It does, however, have a weakness I've discovered over the years: its mattress. 

I'm a hunter who doesn't like sitting still. I know, shocker. But that ADHD mentality of hiking, glassing, hiking some more, and then carrying out loads of meat and antlers means that when I get back to camp after dark, I'm usually exhausted, sore, and my muscles and joints are screaming at me to relent. And no amount of pre, during, or post-hike electrolytes will solve a 50-mile, 2,000-foot elevation change type of weekend. Neither does Roofnest's stock mattress, which is basically the width of my Marmot sleeping bag, though it's marginally better.
