Posting in case anyone is interested in doing the same.

I have a T6 SWB with mid row of seats and a Forty Winks bed installed. It's a great bed but there are times when there's only one or two of us, and I'd like more cab space - but the seats are in. If I take them out, I can't use the bed. So I've knocked up a small extension. It's 128 x 50 cm bit of MDF, giving a length enough in total for a 190cm mattress. It's using adjustable Adils legs from Ikea I had spare. The legs screw in and out, so the bed extension can be collapsed for easy storage. And it doubles as a low table for playing games. My go at covering with 4 way stretch carpet worked out ok, but I need to clean up the glue somehow.

I reckon Forty Winks are missing a trick here - I think having this extra bit so I can use the bed without the seats will come in very handy, and I'm sure they could do a way better job than me :)

It’s an Inofia 12 cm thick memory foam one. Click on “a 190cm mattress” in my post above and it’ll take you to the Amazon page.
 
That little bed extension hack has just inspired me to get a forty winks bed now. I definitely want to remove my seats when sleeping in the van.
Great little hack thanks
 
I was just chatting to someone at forty winks a couple of weeks ago in my search for sonething for my kombi. He told me this was in the pipeline.
 
That looks great, thanks for posting it. Shame you can’t disconnect it to use as a table but nice to have an official solution.
