Subject:Re: yards of fabric to reupholster westy bed?

I am guessing the yardage is 60" wide.  I would have to go look. Supposing this, you would need at least 6 yards depending on the direction of the grain.  The bench on a Westy is a little less than 4' long.  You need 4" on each side so 56". Non Westy would be more. I would have to measure, but I am guessing it is at least 5' long.  Carat bench is a couple inches shorter than the 7 passenger van.  Someone here I am sure, has measured them exactly. Good luck with your project!!!
