Hi Neil and lena....slightly off topic. We have a Burgundy too and was wondering if you had noticed the front seat cushions sagging? Ours have just started to sag mostly along the back cushions.We have used the van alot and thought it may be due to overuse!We bought it new in July 07 and even our previous 15 year old van did not suffer this....

We had an Indiana fixed bed from new but we needed a memory foam topper for my wife's bad back. We reduced the overall bed weight by buying a foam, but fairly firm ,mattress from IKEA and shaped it to fit then put the topper on that and it worked a treat. We have now transferred it to our new Lunar Lexon SI.

How did you go about shaping the mattress to fit?  Our Pastiche 530/4 has the type with the corner cut off.    Our mattress is so uncomfortable - we both get a bad back after just one night.  So really keen to find a solution as we spend a lot of time in the van.

The one from IKEA is a sturdy sort of foam and I put the proper mattress on it to mark the shape then I used a hack saw blade to cut it. Similarly with the memory foam.Our bed is the same shape as yours, and it worked well. The original mattress is hardly used and in the plastic bag the one from Ikea came in - stored in the garage.

I replaced some of our upholstery using Tockfield back in the winter.  Fantastic quality, covered with a memory foam mattress it is just the job for my bad back.  Don't know if they do mattresses, google 'em.

We bought a memeory foam topper at a place in Shrewsbury (Charlies for those from our area!)
It is about 1 inch thick, cost about £40 if I remember correctly.
it has made a big difference as SWMBO found the mattress a bit too firm.
It folds over the cutaway part of the mattress.
The seat cushions do seem a bit on the soft side, may have to consider replacements in a few yeras-if we don't change the van. We like the Calfornia/Sancerre!

Hi

I suspect all fixed bed mattresses are a standard size and some newish vans have already reached the scrap yards.

Well worth a few phone calls in my opinion.

I believe the C.C. have a list of scrap yards
