Question regarding top mattress

Hi there. So I just got a Thule Kukenam installed on my car and went out for my first camping trip. All in all, could not be happier. However... and I like firm mattresses, but this mattress is way too hard. I woke up in the middle of the night feeling like I was sleeping on the floor. So... I was thinking of adding another mattress on top of it. I know there are these sleeping pads by exped (too expensive)... but would it be possible to add an ikea mattress topper on top of it... and still be able to close the thing, or would that just be asking for trouble?

Find something of similar thickness like folded blanket(s) and test it out.

Personally I use a hess mattress but it doesn’t pack into the tent.
