Barbie, I would still wait till PW, unless Junior is really uncomfortable. His squad mates are definitely going to take note that he is sleeping on a mat.
I know parents want to do their best for their kids but as ChristCorps will tell you: these young people are ADULTS now, in the US Military. You've not sent Johnny off to Flagship U where he'll complain because his frig is not making enough ice.
Let them do for themselves as much as possible. Send them homemade cookies, or get pizza, FOR THE WHOLE SQUAD (not just for him & his roommates). But please, a little suffering will make them stronger later.
This is honestly pretty dumb advice. Cadets don't care that other cadets don't sleep under the covers during 4* year. If he's asking for it, sounds like he has a pulse on what's acceptable in his own situation. He's almost out of basic, no need to make things more uncomfortable than they already are.
