Default Foam

Try an fabric shop that has foam for furniture they may be able to help.

Think Jysk carries foam mattresses.

I will suggest a cot to be up off the ground (say warmer), and then either a sleeping pad to help keep the chill below you and then put the foamy on top. Your foam will collect moisture from your sleeping bag. Sometimes can be quite moist after a week.

As mentioned, any furniture or matress shop that makes custom foam beds.

I bought a piece about 4” thick and 6’ square or so from Canadan tire a few years ago.
Not sure if they still carry it though

Do you have an Army Navy store up there? The one here in Calgary always had a ton of the stuff in all different sizes.

Army and navy used to have them. Not sure if doors shut yet but if not may get a good price if they are clearing stuff out.

They are. I have three indestructible/ very sturdy cots. Extra long. Probably going to sell them as we just don’t use them anymore now that the kids are grown

And I’ve always found a foam takes up much too much valuable space. Air mattress or cot.
