I thought I'd add my Flarespace experience to the thread for anyone in the future looking for reviews. I bought the flares on closeout off the website for the "Winter Special" price of $1,100 saving me $500. This restricted me from adding the bunk window but in the end I'm glad and prefer the clean look, nothing to bump my head on and the privacy. I paid $450 to a paint guy to match my paint, I don't think this price is really beatable from my research. I installed the flares with a friend and it was super easy.
I ordered the Flarespace Trim Ring set with the plan to hopefully just paint those and avoid difficult upholstering of the trim pieces as the website says they are paint ready. In the end they are not in my opinion paint ready and in-fact they shipped from the manufacturer with some defects. Flarespace immediately shipped me a new set and were amazing on customer service. I spoke to them 3 or 4 times to ask little questions about the install etc.. and they were great. I decided to go ahead and upholster them and that turned out to be really simple, especially after watching a great youtube video on that from Grant at Fredomvango. I'm glad I did that too because the look and softness are better than if I had painted.
After looking around for a mattress to cut I decided to just go ahead and order the Custom Flarespace Memory Foam Mattress For Sprinter 144" off of their website. I have to say it is awesome, perfectly cut, lays in to all the little nooks and is super comfortable. It is soy based memory foam and has an organic cotton cover. I'm really glad I went ahead and did that. I didn't find any mattress reviews so I was a bit nervous. I highly recommend that mattress.
Final take away: I'm 6 feet and can sleep perfectly side to side without coming close to touching my head or feet. I was able to get an 80" x 60" bed into my 144" and have tons of extra room fro the rest of my buildout. My mountain bike fits perfectly underneath and even with the roof a touch lower from the Sportsmobile penthouse pop top, there is plenty of space to feel comfortable. The DYI install and and upholstering were not overly complicated and the mattress is a winner.
