The seats do need to come out to have the covers fitted properly...guess that will be a weekend job!

I've just received my order back from them.
Ordered 4" foam to do both lots of beds with 12 metres of matching material to cover door trims and other bits and pieces. They even piped the seats in the same material as my curtains. All for £220 delivered.
Pam was great to deal with and I would recomend them to anyone

Josh,

get up there with a tape measure.....that's what I had to do for mine. And if you have seperate cushions (I have 2 which make up the bed as it is not always out fully) I asked for velcro to hold the cushions together.

I think they put industrial stuff on.....works a treat!

If you can get a 4" foam up there, go for it.....unfortunately, I haven't got that luxury, but hey, its only the kids, and not for long lengths of time! Serioulsy, the thin foam that I have is still pretty good as I asked for as firm as poss!

Best thing is to speak to Pam about the type of foam to use.

Good luck

Josh,

yep, I can do photos but it won't be like yours I'm afraid as I have a pop top and the bed base is a mutilated argos futon!!!

I believe it may be the only one in the country!

Kathy,
I paid £200 quid all in.....but had material costs on top as I bought that myself and supplied it to them. I was lucky - bought it very cheap on e-bay.

Kev.....sorry about your neck.... :( Will remember to rotate them in flickr before posting the link. Actually, I will go an rotate them now,,

last friday night a courier collected the foam and covers from my newly acquired buddy sent. It arrived at Pam's on Monday. Tues morning I get mail to say they are done and ready to go!!! As I was out of the office, I didn't reply till wed morning.....but they were still on the courier back to me wed night. Thurs and they are in the office waiting for me (stuck at home with poorly child). Friday lunchtime, and they are unwrapped and installed on buddy seat! :shock: :D

All for £50 incl delivery (although once again I supplied the material - but 90% of the foam has been replaced! :D

Just got to get the mounting points done for the buddy seat and we are away (welder is free towards the end of January!!!!)

Photos will be added this weekend hopefully!

excellent. sounds great.
I didn't order the cushions in the end from them as she said the foam had jumped up in price due to THE increase in pice of oil. it was gonna be a surprise for my brother and his girlfiend for christmas so was hpoing to get a cheapo solution. still thinking bout getting some covers done for our van, but will prob be in the new year now.

Just got our seat covers :D ...
Image
We had already bought the foam for our full width Rock&Roll bed from Just Kampers. I did drawings of the foam and sent them to Pam.
The covers fit perfectly, we're well impressed with the quality of the work. PLUSS supplied the mat'ls: Dark Grey velour with non-slip base and made the covers all for £85.
If anyone wants the drawings of the JK foam pm me.
