Hi everyone,

 

My wife and I intend to use ours for some occasional sleep-overs for one, two or possibly three nights at a time. 

 

As we will have her stock of sweets in the rearmost section (search for 'steampunksweetmeats' if you are interested) we are going to have to use the front seats as bed bases (with airbed(s) and duvet(s) on top). 

 

Theoretically not too much of an issue but as the seats aren't really level I was wondering whether anyone has come across any sort of 'filler' cushion that could be, preferably, inflated to fill in the gaps at the back of the front and middle seats.

I have found this but I am thinking it might be too deep at 20cm.

Here are the seats in their lowered position. 

I have come across a large pillow to fill in the gap behind the console but we may try and put a portable fridge there, running from the leisure battery it came with.

 

We also got 4 foam mattresses with the Alphard so I might play with those to see if they help at all.

 

Anyway - any ideas or experiences would be handy.

 

Cheers.

Paul

You may wish to consider an alternative solution, as I did a couple of years back.

 

I came across some wedge shaped 'cushions' for use in hospitals to change the inclination of the patients.

The set was of 3 or 4 units with differing profiles, providing various combinations of inclined angle.

 

I didn't proceed with the purchase, on ebay or Amazon, so cannot provide photos.

Thank you for the idea Roger - i will take a look around and see what comes up.
