Thanks I wasn't sure how the filler would look in the end.

Oh G thanks lol good thing I'm working night shift this week.

I never would have thought of that till I had to widen the box and make a new front.

Is the front wall of the bed going to be bent/curved too?
The top of the sheet will be curved and where the bed will be will be straight. At least that's what I am planning.
