Make "Trifold" sofa bed more comfortable
We have the trifold sofa/bed in our Solitude 300GK. I am looking for ideas to make it more comfortable Has anyone done something that will help level it? Ours "slops" down towards the wall (head of bed?). I plan to get some type of topper. Any other thoughts? Thanks.

It has been found by members here that when shipped from Lippert these come with spacer blocks for setting the bed/couch on a flat surface. When installed this makes the bed level. They do not need installed when the couch is installed in a slide as the slide is usually a little higher than the floor. Some has also added there own blocks under the feet to make it level.
A little search should yield the results of this "do it yourself" fix.

Lol. Just realized we have the same problem, was just looking at it from the other end.

I approached the issue from the foot end of the bed. It was quite easy to adjust the fold-out foot sections. There are already holes drilled, so all you have to do is back the bolts out (after taking the nuts off) adjust the length, then re-bolt them.

Took the same approach as Richter only difference I had the cut 2 in off the inner piece to let it drop far enough. Still put a topper on it for comfort.

We found the best thing for our guests comfort is to drop a nice Air Mattress in front of the couch
