Making up front bed Adria Altea Severn

[tmanx]

Hi All

I'm interested in experiences / advice on making up the front double. We've seen advice that the best way to do this to achieve a flat 'bumpless' surface is a) upside down / bottom of cushions up (flatter surface) and b) bottom seats to either end - filling the middle with the back cushions (which puts the 'lump' of the bottom cushion at the head and feet).

It sounds a logical way to achieve best comfort - but I've found that having the back cushions in the middle puts them at the hip - and as they are not connected - they give too much - irritating / pulling on our backs.

I've tried instead bottom cushions together head first and middle (lumps at opposite sides - one at the head - the other around the knee), filling in the feet end with the back cushions. This is better on the hips - but introduces a lump in the legs - which isn't there if the bottom cushion is at the feet.

Any ideas - different ways of laying out the cushions?

We've added a 1 inch mattress topper (wanted light for weight and moving around every day) - which seems to do the trick as far as softening the cushions (it's soft enough for us as far at that is concerned). I'm not sure whether a 2 inch one would hide the lump we've introduced - or if a different solution is better?

cheers in advance

Not had an Adria but with that layout we put the leg rolls to the wall and the back rests in the middle with the cushions upside down but sometimes it is what is the best compromise for you.

I tried various things to make the bed comfy but eventually bought a 1” foam matrass topper. Does the trick for us.

Everyone has different ideas.......this works for us as we have a rear dinette layout with space to store the bedding, out of the way, in one corner during the day.

Lay the cushions out according to preference as to which side up.
Put the backrest cushions together at the end you put your feet.
Put the main cushions longways so that the bulk of your torsos are supported individually by each cushion.
Put the thicker leg rolls either in the middle together or to the outsides according to preference.
Cover with a mattress topper.......we use two duvets for this as easier to roll up for storage.
Main cover duvet on top of that.

Cheers Gafferbill - that's a new way. We'll have a look at that.

I have got a a couple of straps that I use to secures the topper in a roll, it lives on one of the kids bunks duringthe day but it would fit into the bed box if I needed it to
