: I would like to go with lower deck, thus planning to cut off the deck just

: bit wider than the SoF.

: Thanks for the advise to go ahead with this modification.

Before you chop off the deck, use it to find out how much lower you can go. Just stick in pieces of minicell foam (or other foam if minicell's not available) to mimic the height you're thinking of and see if it really is and stays comfortable.
