Now that the steelwork was in place, I fitted some bed slats between to take the weight in the bed. These were about 20mm thick (actually a little bit overkill for this use) and joined with a ribbon to keep them spaced equally. They are pretty solid, and held in place by the seats on either side. I used a thin piece of 4mm plywood to go over the bed slats and make sure the surface is flat.
I made up two panels to fit over the other book box and the bench storage unit and cover the gap in between. These also raised the height in this region so that the bed frame is now all at the same level (or as level as it can be with the shape of the seats).
All parts of the bed frame can be removed and stored behind the rear-facing seats without taking up any additional room
