Gavin,
You missed my point.
Space, but it's very definition has no matter. It is the "area" between matter. Matter, by it's definition is that thing which occupies space. There can be matter in space, but there is no space in matter. Because of this, space is infinite.
There may very well be a boundary within space at which up to that boundary there is space filled with forms of matter (universes, galaxies, stars, planets, moons, asteroids, particles) but beyond that point there is "matterless space", or space where there is no matter. At that point, space is filled with nothingness and continues infinitely.
I think the part you are having difficulty with is that space is NOTHING, and if there is a point that what you are calling space becomes nothing, then before, at and after that point; and on, and on, that's ALL space...by the definition of what space is.
