Hi all,

I would like to order a custom topper for the front dinette bed on our new 530 60th, we haven't received as yet but picking up soon, it's for our small kids to sleep on (I'd rather they weren't drooling direct on the seats!)

The measurements quoted are 198x94/98 (the smaller measurement due to the washroom at the top of the bed, does anyone have the actual footprint for this? Or a measurement of where the cutout is? (where it expands to 98)

Thanks in advance!!

Ahh indeed a cunning plan..... But i've just looked and the IKEA one I'd have to buy is about the same price as the custom one... Maybe IKEA have had a price hike of late... But I might shop around for that as an option. Was it easy to cut?

Or I'm thinking I might tell the custom to do 94 at one end then fan out to 98 from midway... From the pics I've looked at that should be suitable...

Oooh ta that does look helpful!! Yep I think we are 100 wider but the shower measurement is super helpful.... Think I can take a stab at a rough drawing for the topper peeps to work with!! Cheers!

We picked up a regular single topper from IKEA for our 530 and it works fine. The few cms difference in the difference between the larger and smaller seat makes no difference in real world use to us.

Btw - a trick we settled on. Instead of putting the topper in place then putting a sheet over, we bought an IKEA duvet cover and put the topper in it. When we make the bed you just unfold the topper/duvet cover, tuck in the sides then put your actual duvet on top. Much easier to set up and pack away.

i am very interested in these proposed combinations of IKEA topper and duvet cover, as we have a Triton whose bed is very comfortable, but very difficult to make with an under blanket and sheet, as it involves crawling about trying to tuck the sheet in. We use duvet on top.The idea of rolling out a combination of foam, zipped on cover and duvet cover being the under sheet, all in one move is very attractive. I assume you would have to cut the rounded corners in the foam to fit it to the back end, and all the cover and duvet cover surplus would then tuck in easily,
Has anybody done this, and are there any snags? We have the longitudinal bed,( kingsize?) but i imagine a transverse bed would be the same.

For my two young children, I did exactly the same.
We have in our 535 a front dinette of 198x94/98.
I ordered a foam of 3 cm thick and density suitable for a mattress pad on the internet.
I asked for the size of 198x98 and I cut the difference with scissors.
With cotton fabric, I sewed a fitted sheet.
It protects the cushions, and sleeping is much more comfortable.
The result is impeccable.
It cost me 30 euros.
