I use one of these pads from Big Agnes with this cot. The cot folds in half so you would have to check if it would fit in your trailer. Really comfortable set up. I have used air mattresses and they are great but no matter how careful I am with them they always eventually leak.

We use z-rest pads and they work well enough for padding/insulation. If you want comfort than go with an inflatable type. I've always had bad luck with inflatables and go back to pads shortly after.

I've used the Cascade Designs Ridgerest when packing space is limited, otherwise the queen-size air mattress and pump.

Do yourself a favor and look up the Mock one. It’s a pretty great looking system.

We use a queen full size Intex air matress and works pretty good. One thing we noticed though was to just just our sleeping bags as covers rather than sleeping in them. They tend to move around quite a bit. If you can fit take a bed sheet to put over the air mattress then use each sleeping bag or blankets individually. My wife said I move to much when I sleep inside the bag and that's probably because I feel constricted.

I have a Helinox One cot and love it. Sets up in about 2 minutes, takes up less space than a sleeping pad, can store stuff underneath, never gets a leak, no more lumps and bumps. Expensive, but worth every penny.

That's a good looking setup.
I like the looks of it better than the LuxuryLite I have.
Simpler design.
You get an A+
