Wanted: long cushion for lower bunk

I have all of the cushions for my Uhaul CT except for the long one on the lower bunk. Would like to purchase with the original cover. I would also consider buying some other cushions that anyone had available in the original covers because some of mine are not in the best shape.

I don’t have the foam or cover or even a template.

:real easy to make a template of the area & once you have the foam cut now all u need to do is measure to find out how much material u need and what kind of material you want, buy it then sew it, really not all that hard, I can sew somewhat but I'm lucky I have a wife that is a seamstress.

I don't know how large that lower bunk is, but for our Casita, I got a 'trifold' mattress from Amazon thats 31x75" and really comfortable, much better than the dinette cushions.

Here's the one I got, I'm sure they come in other sizes too.

hy not ask them if send them a template of what you want if they will make you the same and cover it to. You got nothing to lose though might cost a few dollars more for them to make from scratch.
We do not use Memory Foam we use the firmest 5" thick Foam we can get and my wife sews a cover to fit. In the MH we have the best store bought Mattress we can find, I love sleeping on it but for a back up the Chesterfield is not that bad either. It is not that long ago I slept on the ground so having comfort is even better.

The front seating on a Uhaul CT is very narrow and curved. No standard mattress or cushion will fit there so advice in that direction is irrelevant. OP is looking for a CT owner that is not using the original cushion. If none is available then it will be necessary to make a template, find a piece of foam that can be cut to fit and a cover made for it. Assuming that what she needs is the bottom cushion, and not the cushion for the top bunk which has a plywood backing with ends that fold, then using cardboard or heavy paper it would be fairly easy to make a pattern and cut a piece of foam using an electric knife. Covering it is another challenge and depends on skill level or paying someone to do that job. Part of our upper bunk was missing, and what remained for seating was quite uncomfortable so it was discarded and replaced with something else (casita chair)
