A man has been caught driving a car with no front seat, propped up instead by a rolled-up mattress, Queensland Police have alleged.

The 30-year-old was pulled over by police in Toowoomba, with officers soon realising he and his female passenger were sitting on foam mattresses.

He then admitted to having recently been disqualified from driving.

The car was impounded and the alleged offender, a local man, was charged with the dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and driving of a vehicle without a licence.

He is due to appear in Toowoomba Magistrates Court on October 16.
