Frequently Asked Questions
Is it comfortable to sleep in a car?
Surprisingly, yes! With a little practice, you’ll be sleeping better in your car than you do in your bed at home! There’s a simple pleasure knowing that you are safe and warm in your car even when the conditions outside are not. And the excitement of waking up in a brand new environment without the hassles of traditional tent camping is next level! You’ve got to try it to believe it!
Is it safe to sleep in a car?
Very safe. Think about tent camping where you’re vulnerable to all the elements and critters and neighboring humans. Now imagine that your tent is soundproof and has wheels so you can just drive away in the middle of the night without packing up. That’s car camping for you.
Why not just throw an air mattress on the floor?
We encourage everyone to experiment with different sleeping options before investing in a sleeping platform. To some, an air mattress on the floor checks all the boxes. Our customers, however, will point out that most vehicle’s floors are not exactly level when you fold down the back seats, and so a mattress on the floor leaves you with a bumpy bed with no support over the footwell. And comfort aside, when you put a mattress on the floor, you have no room for your gear.
Will I hit my head on the roof?
You may have more headroom than you think! We’ve spent a ton of time optimizing our design to best fit your vehicle and maximize the amount of usable space you have while in bed. But at the end of the day, you’re still just sleeping in your car so you’re limited by the amount of available space your car offers.
Does it get stuffy or steamed up in the car?
Not if you crack your windows at night! This will help aerate the car and help prevent condensation from building up on the insides of your windows.
Where do people use the bathroom?
Most car campers and car dwellers do their business outside the car in a dedicated privacy tent or curtain. You can buy travel toilets with compostable features or make your own with a simple bucket that you just fill with kitty litter (or equivalent) to help with odor.
Will the bed hold my weight?
Yes! We’ve put our sleeping platforms through the wringer and found them very difficult to break even when super overloaded. Our abuse tests may be super un-scientific, but we find that the metal bed frames flex, but don’t break, under loads up to 400lbs per side. However, we recommend a weight limit of 275lbs for the single bed and 500lbs for the double beds for maximum comfort and minimal flex.
How many people can sleep on it?
Single beds sleep 1
Double beds sleep 1 or 2, depending on your size and preference.
