Hi guys
im probably doing something seriously wrong but i bought a 2" mattress from comfortleisure for the bongo roof. Now it fits like a dream but i thought that the mattress could be left in place with roof down but i dont seem to be able to fully close roof. ive tried it always and i just cant work it out. Even more so how the hell you supposed to set a bed up and get in and out . Just a bit of practice i expect.

Re: Aft roof mattress
Ours closes okay but I found i needed to close the roof hatch etc before putting roof down, and press close switch again just as roof bottoms out to get it to lock.

It helps if you have a multi section mattress so that the hatch can be left open etc, that way you can get up there then put the square in place to cover the hatch from up top!

Re: Aft roof mattress
Hi.
We've just bought one of these and we can get our roof down with the mattress in place.
Like the earlier poster suggests, the hatch needs to be down so there's a bit of faffing to press the lock cancel button, close the hatch and lower roof but it can be done.
Remember to hold open the circular flap (the one kids like to peer through) to let the air escape as the roof comes down.

Re: Aft roof mattress
My mattress came with my van when I bought it. From the thickness, it does seem to be the "proper" one
I can put the roof back down easily with it in situ - not tried to do this with the mattress folded, or with the sunroof hatch open...
But I'd say close the hatch, and keep the mattress in the flat position (not folded). Hope you sort it
