No memory foam on the gaucho. The previous owners had a professional replace all original Airstream open cell foam soft goods (mattresses and gaucho) with new open cell foam of a similar quality and upholster it with new fabric. All new foam was replaced to original specs on size and thickness, about 7 or 8 inches on the mattress maybe? The new foam is probably just as hard and uncomfortable for sleep as the original stuff. We simply put the 3" memory foam toppers on the matresses for comfort. I'm not sure that memory foam would hold up well on the gaucho. It seems to compress and break down with use and abuse. A word about memory foam. It holds body heat. No mater what time of year, I've had to throw covers off by early morning if I don't keep the Airstream around 62 degrees for sleeping.
No, it's not hot flashes, really, it's not.
