Two single mattresses? One topper over both to hold them together.
Thats about the only sensible solution for vastly differing weights.

When I was a tenter, I had a XL Therm-a-rest Luxury Map self inflating mattress (SIM) over an Outwell Laguna XL camp bed, held in place using a fitted flannel sheet.
It was very comfortable, however, not ideal for small tents with sloping sides, especially if a double camp bed is required.
My tents were 4-berth Dutch canvas pyramids when I used the camp bed + SIM sleeping set up, and I went camping on my own with my dog, so space was not an issue.

When I was a tenter we hired the kit first to see if my wife liked the lifestyle, I'm glad to say she loved it. However, the first thing we realised was that a doulbe airbed was a no-no, so we opted for the dual one where each side is blown up independantly.
