Replacement Mattress For Bunk Beds with angled cut in mattress

Has anyone found anyone replacement mattresses for the bunk mattresses that have the angle on them? I have a 28BHS and my son was complaining about the bottom mattress with the crease in it that allows you to fold up part of the bed for extra storage. We never use it for that, so I was thinking about replacing the mattress and if I did that go with a memory foam mattress.

You can cut those memory foam mattresses? I thought they had fiberglass in them.

Nope, just layers of foams of different types and densities. Several posts about ways to cut them.

That makes things really easy then. That's the route I'll be going. Thanks for the input.

Electric carving knives work great for cutting foam mattresses.

Get a foam mattress bigger then what’s there. Lay your existing on it and trace to make a template.
We used a bread knife (long and serrated) to cut the foam and the wife was surprised how easy it was

Just got this done this past weekend using a 5" memory foam mattress. Worked great. Thanks to all of you for your help with this. Just need to replace the top one now, but that can wait.
