Kids bed

[blue_van]

Hi, I’m looking for ways to sleep kids in a Kombi T6.1… I’m thinking across the front and back seats. I’ve seen hammock type things (by Kiravan and others) and cabunk but kids are 5&6 so a bit old for that. I’m thinking more along the lines of the new fourty winks cab bed for the front and maybe something inflatable across the back seats. Has anyone successfully done this and can offer tips… particularly on the rear seats. i haven’t yet found an inflatable bed to fill the footwell of a T6. I’m short and planning to sleep behind the seats on a van king (or similar).
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for tips on this. We ended up making by a bed out of ply and thermarest for the front seat and rear seats. It worked well from a sleeping point of view but a massive faff putting it out and away every night to drive away. Now looking by at a pop top!
