Just needs re doing "properly" now and shaping more....

it does feel comfier.. honest- .....

mind you tat foam aint cheap... ! we bought a "topper" double for our bed as wife has a wierd bad back- it was £190.!!

now we have a new bed and special mattress..! so it is a shame to cut it up really... but- it wa sonly being used for camping- and now she doesnt want to camp- like I said earlier- except when we do the AR 06 !!......

How big was the mattress - got any bits left over

14-05-06, 07:21 PM

like size of a single bed- as per one of the pics..

why you wanna buy a piece big enough to do yours .. pro rata from £90 .... !! (HALF THE £ OF THE FULL ONE !) ...

I AM SURE i COULD CUT IT UP INTO SQUARES BIG ENOUGH TO DO A SEAT.! and post it out.. ! ... and make mesen some dosh !>>>>>

only problem i have is i dont have a heavy duty stapler to finish job. where would you get one

i do like this idea as i started a previous thread about how uncomfortable i found the standard seat after about a 70 mile stint.

a few others had same problem. does it raise your seat hieght much or is it hardly noticable

think the electric carving knife is the way to go for the final shaping
