I've read much about using mattress toppers to make lower (and upper) beds more comfortable. As we are just 2 could we bring down the upper mattress to use on the lower bed for more comfort? Sue.

Sue why don't you just sleep upstairs if you are fetching the upstairs mattress down everytime then you will have to put it back when you want to make breakfast a bit of a faff if you ask me
Calikev said:Good point. I think the problem is the bed has to double up as a crash tested rear seat for passengers to travel long distances in relative comfort. I think their minds are more on safety
Than comfort. I had a rock n roll bed in my last t5 conversion that was basically foam
Comfortable to sleep on but you couldn't sit on it for long without getting a back ache
teeboy said:One of the main factors in us choosing a cali over a convert was the "proper" back seat. Rock and roll beds are OK beds but terrible seats, also a pain in the bum for loosing seat belt ends or seat belts getti g tangled.
Adding a posh crash tested bed to a conversion adds around 2000 quid.
Add that to the base van with good spec and the cali is a bargain (ish)

Should we not be pointing this out to VW that what is supplied is not acceptable for the money we have spent.
The worst part of the Cali design must be the downstairs bed setup which takes up most of the boot space carrying around the metal frame and mattress, being of a German design surley the bed could have been integrated within the rear seat.
I do hope the T6 Cali will have all of the issues resolved because as it stands at the moment you can't beat the comfort of our Splitscreen which is nearly 50 years old
