I had a couple of Coleman Convoluted Camp Pads left over from our tent/sleeping bag days.

We have not had a wet cushion problem since I did this. I remember to tuck the bedding between the barrier and the cushion so that I can see the barrier at all times.

The bunk platforms in the Fiber Stream are pegboard, and the ventillation to the compartments below keep the bottoms dry.

I actually have one of those pads stuck under the wettest part of the cushion right now! I did it because the foam was compressing too thin to be comfy but it does seem to be working for that too. Maybe I should just buy more of those...
Supposedly that hypervent stuff doesn't compress but I don't know I'd I want to invest so much money in stuff that I have never even felt how stiff it is.
