Has anyone lowered the bed safty pins?

I wanted to reach out to the group and see if anyone has tried this. We are using a real 6" mattress in the drop down bed above the driver in our Axis 24.1. The 3" one that comes with the RV is too hard for real sleeping. The only problem we face is that we have to remove the mattress so we can raise the bed and insert the pins before driving. I though it might be possible to come up with a way to not raise the platform all the way (3" short of the roof) and still use the safety pins to hold it in place while driving. Anything from using a strong metal cable from the pin to the platform plate or a plate extension and drilling another hole further down for the pin.

Has anyone tried this before? It sure would make life a lot easier not to have to more the mattress every time we drive.

Thanks a bunch!
