G'day, This is my first post so I hope I haven't placed it in the wrong area. We are about to buy a second hand van and the mattress in it is a 'pillow-top'. The gas struts for the bed frame, they drop a little if you lift the frame say 60% of the way but seem to hold when the bed frame is pushed as high as it can go....
