So I finally got round to doing something about it. Cut a 4” mattress topper to fit the V. Stitched a sheet to make a fitted bottom sheet. Cut a duvet to fit the V Refoamed the existing cushions Result : bliss 💤 and ship's cat 🐱 Theo agrees !

Ian & Julie Mon 12 Jul 2021 22:09:45 | Ah yes Sasha, this was a breakthrough , the rather stylish blue lines are in fact camping rolls ! Yes , I bought two rolls and simply cut them to length (width is perfect) and secured them by pushing each one down and wedging between the bed cushions and the internal hull. No glues needed as they just sit there. No condensation, they are lovely and warm to the touch and look great.
