      It’s 1700mm x 1400mm.
      I’m sure there are online stockists, but Dunelm stock foam pads for building your own seats etc. May be worth a looksee

        Because it is an odd size, you could try a memory foam mattress off of eBay or some other site and cut it to fit. Not sure how much it would cost or how easy that would be to do.

            Cutting is easy with an electric knife!!!

              Just self tappers into the board on the back of the caravelle seat. The wood board on the back of the triple seat is very light. So I put a good few screws through it. Well spaced apart. It doesn’t get any major moving once the bed is down. And when it’s up. It’s wedged up against the rear parcel shelf. The parcel shelf itself is flimsy by design, plan there is to put a hinged lat of timber hinges on the floor of the ‘boot’ and it will sit into one of those recesses on underside of the shelf itself.
              I’ll post a pic tomorrow.

                Thanks for that info, I’m inspired to do mine now if we ever get some mild weather. Look forward to the pic.

                  Delighted with these.
                  Food grade Fresh water container (blue)
                  And Waste water (black)
                  As if I made the pod to suit.
                  Only a few mm to spare.

                      Lovely van mate. I've been looking at these memory foam mattresses that can be cut to shape / size.

                                That matress is perfect for these vans.
