Rock N Roll Bed - Cannon Forge

Same weekend and just after the roof went on we headed down the M1 to Worksop for the bed installing by Dave from Cannons Forge. He has a couple of web sites right now … one may disappear soon….

Dave Cannon is a really friendly and helpful guy, answering all sorts of dumb questions with tremendous patience. When we bought the bed he only had a couple of choices for foam and cushion coverings so we are getting them from another supplier.

Here are a few thoughts for you to consider though when debating what density of foam to use on your bed.

Blue foam is hard / firm and is ideal for sitting on but rock hard for sleeping on (some folks add memory foam toppers to compensate for this)
Yellow foam is soft and ideal for sleeping but you sink right through it when you sit on it and bottom out (sorry) on the boards beneath.
Solution …. Use both … blue on the seat part of your RnR bed and yellow for the rest of it. Lets face it there will only be your feet on the blue stuff if you sleep with your head at the back of the van.
