Camping Bed - DIY Option?

Hi everyone :)

Had a search but could not find anything similar so hoping someone can help. I am wanting to get a comfortable night's sleep while camping and thought of getting a custom cut piece of foam as the bed. This way I can make it nice and thick, and hopefully keep it cheaper than an off the shelf product. I am wondering if anyone has done this before, and indeed is it even worth it? I have seen a few places that will do a cut piece (nice and large for two people) for around £100. This is also really thick and I would guess closer to a foam mattress for a bed vs. a thin camping mat.

I am worried though that it could get mouldy with dreaded condensation in the tent, so thought it would be worth an ask to see what others do when camping for a good night sleep?

Thank you in advance :)
