Yes, I am no longer in business and unfortunately I don't have any old
stock like this to assist you.  What you can do is get a second
mattress.  Basically the mattress is about as thick as a typical
engine cover mod, so when you put the seat into the bed position, move the
2nd mattress forward and everything will be level.
