bed/seating modification for clamshell

If you are one of many that can't stand that table you can change the seating by cutting the back cushions. I got some 4" foam at Walmart to add padding for the bed and also provide a back rest when it's rolled up. You can see how easy it is to convert to the bed, I just leave the bedclothes rolled up with it. I will get some material to cover the roll and upholster the two pieces that were cut off. I have even found the same material as the throw pillow! Can't wait to finish it!

I had to velcro the fabric, over the bed roll, to the underside of the cabinets so it will stay put in transit.

That is a very good set up. I did something similar, but removed the original cushions in case I ever sell the unit, it could be put back together. I bought a single 8 inch memory foam mattress from Walmart. Then covered two pieces of foam with material for seats.
This is the outcome.

Im liking that! I have a bed buddy though and need the full queen bed. I can convert it back...there will just be four back cushions instead of the two long ones.

Although still a work in progress, here's my interior with the split cushions. If solo, nice there's still a seating area with bed made up.

I have a Dutchmen Clamshell and the cushions were already split. I often only make up the back half of the bed with memory foam and leave the front cushions in place.Carol

That is what I do with our Q when it is just me. Nice to have both a place to sleep and a place to sit.

This is really beautiful. I am placing my order tomorrow and want to leave the "twin" set up for solo travel. This turned out great!

Hi tabhappy... We just got our new 2020 CS S last weekend and I want to make it into a U like yours... What did you use for those 2 cushions in the middle, L x W x H ?

Hello got2blee,
My T@B came with four long cushions, two seat and two backrest cushions. We cut the two backrest ones into four and had them recovered. Hope that answered your question 🙂Dena & Jim Plano, Texas
