What is “Bed Lounge Conversion Option”. HELP!

Airstream Flying Cloud brochures 2016-2020 have this option for the dinette area.
How is it different?
Anyone have it - please post photos.

We are buying a 2018 FC 26RB on March 30th. Back in 2017 we bought a new 2017 FC 26U. My wife hated the coushions. Today when Ibwas looking at Airstream 2018 FC brochure on page 4 it showed photos of “Bed Lounge Conversion with Pedastal Table” option but no info on how it was different,

My wife loves this configuration. Need to find out what was different so I can get our rv repair shop to perform the reno,

I will be calling Jackson Center but not certain customer service will know. The 2018 FC User Manual has no info.

thanks
Ken

Google a "2018 Flying Cloud brochure". It has this picture of the difference, but I can't really tell exactly what is different. That being said, my previous Airstream had a pedestal table, and I won't have another one. Too unsteady for my tastes.

I don't believe there is a difference between the 2017 and 2018 front room table setup in the U models as regards cushions, pedestals, and table top sections. The 'option' is to convert the area into a full size bed for up to double occupancy or, to leave a single table piece in place (spun) and use the two side berths as separated singles once the curved end cushions are removed (typical use when kids travel).

If your spouse hated the prior cushions you can expect the same reaction to the new unit if equipped as "factory built" as opposed to custom replaced cushions using a different foam density.
