Where do you store the cushions that go on top of the table as a spare berth?

Hi. We have these large cushions that are supposed to go on top of the table to make another berth. We have not found place to store them on the boat so we store them at home. This defeats the purpose for having them. What do you do? We have a 45DS.

Store them at home. We have only used them once in 22 years.

Under the Port side settee (fore to aft) along with the table leaf.

We add ours to the seat in the aft stateroom. Adds to the comfort.

@murrayabbott most boats with large cushions for berths (not too much fun having an on board "Birth") have the cushions as sitting cushions during the day. If your boat is different, the cushions could be stored in the V-berth.

I am adding a leaf to my table in myH-36 so I would like to see what other boats
have for a leaf and how it hooks to table and under the table setup.
Really would thank anybody who can help with this.

The table on my H31 uses the back rest cushions from the benches to cover it when it is dropped to turn it into a bed.

I store them behind the headboard in the aft cabin, right under the spinnaker (s)! . It's big spot.

under the companion way steps in a trash bag to keep them dry

We recently lowered the table for the granddaughters and have left the table down, it makes a great lounging area and we eat in the cockpit if the weather is nice. I know this is a little different but works for us.

Yah, I could see that working with young children in good weather, kinda like a play pit.......

Nick,
Took me back to 2017 when you were interested in putting in a leaf on your table. Do you have the same cabinet around the mast post with a forward opening door? If so are you going to rip the door below the table surface so you can open with the leaf up?
Hope you can document if you make it happen and would be interested in duplicating the effort.
Thanks,
Jeff
