The maximum door opening angle is the limiting factor, not the shape of the arm rest. I could make the drawer 3-4" longer (wider when facing the front of the car) with no arm rests, but its already over 4ft long so i havnt justified the effort of custom door trims yet.

I will probably end up with a few partitions once ive lived with it a while and decided what goes where.

What you need to go in top of all that is a self inflating sleeping pad. They have inner structure and open cell foam.
I currently use a basic 4" foam mattress but its not the most comfortable after a few days of squishing it down, eventually il probably upgrade to a nice memory foam one cut to fit the space with a soft topper, it doesnt really need to fold up as small or be as light as the expensive self inflating ones.
