Now that the truck has arrived back home, we could make a start of some of the less "industrial" things. We thought the bed would be an easy thing to get done, and it only took an hour or so to get it organised.
To keep the mattress up off of the floor, so that air can circulate underneath to stop mold and mildew, we got a kit from Froli called a Travel Sleep System. It is used on yachts primarily.
It comes in a box of various pieces, like Lego, and you have to clip it together in the required shape.
When it is clipped together it forms a 'spacer' about 40mm high on which to sit the mattress.
The dark blue squares are the firm ones, and the light blue squares are softer and go underneath your shoulders. The red pieces make it firmer again. You can adjust the firmness as required, but this is the suggested layout by Froli to start with.
With the mattress and duna fitted it looks like a proper bed, and is extremely comfortable!
I've installed a little step on the drawer to help with climbing up, as it is actually quite high getting up there. Doubles up as a handle on the drawer too.
The windows are excellent, and it is very light and airy in there, with good ventilation.
