    Never came across genuine gmh sandman mattresses in the past 37 years. Anything is possible though.

    I'm really sus on it. I've made something similar in the past. Would just be 2 inch foam covered in the Holden long grain vinyl (which is still available but not expensive) I'm thinking you'd get that made by a local upholsterer or motor trimmer for half that

    I doubt it's a genuine GMH product. Probably an after-market accessory made by a different company. In his description note 'they came out of HJ Sandman I sold a few years back'. Most likely thinks they're an original GMH accessory because he found it in a HJ Holden Sandman. :/

    It is more likely that they might have been the product of a dealer doing a deal with a local upholsterer when they were new and if so old mate is under the misguided opinion they were genuine GM instead of a one-off dealer accessory.

    Have seen similar, but thicker. Those ones might be for the ute owners to sleep under their tonneau covers - we don't get as much room as you partay palace van dwellers.... ;)

    I worked in for a GMH dealer in spare parts back when HX and HZ's were new. I've never heard of a GMH mattress.
