I have been looking for someone who could tell me how they did this but couldn't wait any longer so here it is. just as a preface i haven't completed this yet and plan to use teak instead of the pine you are about to see. To get an idea of how this function without spending $300 on wood i went the $30 route. i'm going to try this out until the end of the summer, then if i like it i'll redo it with teak and some marine grade plywood.
Material:
the plywood board is 70.5" x 18". Any further than 70.5 and i would have to remove the steps into the cabin to use the trundle.
The pine used in place of the teak to hold cushions was a 1x6 but to match the teak i shaved some of so maybe a 1x5.25. (if i decide to keep this i will us a whole 1x6 as the plywood raises the cushions about 3/4")
Standard setup
fitting the new wood
Rounding edges and a little varnish
Put together and pulled out without cushions
