Mattress options? Storage bench to bed in 144" low roof Sprinter

Hi all,

Looking for suggestions on how to build out my mattress. Used the search function but didn't find quite what I was hunting for. I have a 2016 Sprinter 2500 4x4, 144" low roof. I'll be installing a pair of 80/20 benches in the rear with a middle table that I can drop and turn it into a 68"x68" bed.

I'd like to have one set of cushions that I can use for both bench mode and bed mode. We're in central Texas, but also take the van to cold spots, so I'd like something that breathes/cools well, but won't turn into a brick when we go skiing (a la memory foam). I envision two pairs of cushions - a smaller back rest (about 11"x68"x?") and a seat (~22"x68"x?").

Here's a great tutorial I found on constructing the cushions/mattress, but I'm looking for feedback on foam options/combinations and thickness to use. Also while I have a print in mind, any thoughts on picking cover material?

If it makes a difference I'm 5'8", 170lbs, a side sleeper, and prefer a medium-soft mattress.

Thanks!
Mike
