>I travel a lot with work, invariably finding hotel mattresses to be almost
as comfortable as stone, so have adopted an old camping trick. I always
bring along a Thermarest pad (tried other cheaper brands, but they are just
not as comfortable), throw it atop the bottom bedsheet, and inflate it to
whatever level feels best that night. Since using the Thermarest, every
night is comfortable, no matter the bed.

permanent solution, it would make sleeping comfortable until you can get
cushions more to your liking. (At which point you can relegate the
Thermarest to use as a spare, easily-stowed, extra mattress.)
