I do wonder whether the megamats are maybe a little overkill when combined with camp beds... although I hasten to add that I have neither used one nor seen one up close. They look to me like they are best suited for on the floor, though I do know some folk on here do lay them on camp beds, and do seem to be delighted with such a set up.
Have you considered the "next one down"? The Exped SIM COMFORT 10 LW?
Now that, I can recommend, for laying on top of a camp bed. And I believe there's a small saving to be made, when compared to the megamat.
See this related thread Here... for some close-up demo pics.
We initially used as separate singles (with fitted sheets), but have since found out the sheet isn't needed, as they stay in place within the camp bed frame. Mega comfy (Don't over-inflate... find your own personal comfort level/amount of air).
We have now started pushing them together as a double, holding the lot in place with a double fitted/elasticated sheet (Sheepskin mattress protector in the winter, but same effect!) There is no parting due partly to the perfect fit, and partly as we still used the sheet, and there's no bulge/ridge along the centre line. You don't feel the bar(s). If anything, there's a very slight rounded "V" down the centre, due to the rounded side edges of the mat, but I'm a fussy bugger, and it really doesn't concern us.
A really good fit, as the pics prove... although that was more luck than judgement on my part!
Mine are G.O. camp beds though. Can't comment on your Posada's, as I ran out of money!!
