Has anyone done anything to make the table/bed more comfy?
 
Pics would be nice.
 
I was thinking of filling in the space that the back cusion leaves empty with a couple blocks of wood and wraped in material and filled with padding to even it out or something around that nature. Then getting some memory foam or regualr foam padding and using that for a good flat surface and hopefully more comfortable and finally adding sheets and blankets. I was also thinking of cutting the foam pad in half for easier storage or even vacum sealing it for even easier easier storage. Just some thoughts, and thought i would share. Maybe someone has alraedy done it or is having the same issue im having.
 
Also has anyone, referring to an adult, shorter than 6' tried sleeping there?

At one time someone was using a futon mattress on top of theirs and said it was comfy that way.  Most everyone says it needs some sort of one piece pad at minimum on top to make it useable as a bed.

That would be good but i was thinking something that would be a little easier to stow  away since this is a smaller TT. Thats why i was thinking some kinda  foamy and vacume seal it to shrink it.

I ordered a mattress off of overstock. It's an RV mattress and is only about 4 inches thick. I keep it on the bed when not in use. We can use it in our dome or over the dinette. I will see if I can find the link. ☺️
