Pillows For A 3/4 Rock In Roll Bed

[andy greenwood]

Its a stange thing to ask but what sleeping pillows do people use on their 3/4 rock n roll beds ?
When we have the bed down we have been using a normal width pillow same as at home but we find them way too wide for a 3/4 bed and not comfortable for sleeping.

I use cot bed pillows, discovered them when I became a grandad and they're perfect for saving space while being comfy.

Edit: These are the ones I have Homescapes - Kids Pillow 40 x 60 cm - Super Microfibre Filling - Washable at Home - Anti Allergen https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002RBVUAY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_C8RPBbMMZ4HRD

We use the Therm-a-Rest Compressible Pillow with a ‘cut down’ pillow case. The pillows are smaller and compress for storage

Another daft question about them there darn pillows. Went for a single night shakedown last night in my lwb Kombi. Trouble is the gap between the bed and tailgate seemed to consume my pillows, and tbh I had a crap nights sleep as the mattress topper I used didn’t help. Was warm enough just blooming uncomfortable. Any suggestions on good toppers, I’m a biggun and my hips on the bed get a bit too much pressure. Please don’t say… lose weight… I ‘ve started but want to get out in the van now! Thanks in advance Woodman.

What topper do you have?

I have a 50mm duvalay but that's only just enough on top of upholstered seat bed. I'm also a side sleeper.

I don't think weight matters, the thinner you get the bonier you will be!

Thanks CAB, but am I the only one who loses his pillows?

Dunno what your setup is, but does your bed move on rails? When our bed is down, it’s tight to the tailgate, ergo, no gap.

 

[Woodman]

Sadly no, lwb at rearmost position gap of about a foot, I will create a gap filler no doubt

Yeah, ours is a LWB too. Interesting.

Ours is a LWB with the bed on rails. Goes all of the way to the rear doors. As for pillows, we just bring our pillows from home, but we like our pillows.

I guess you possibly have the Caravelle floor system whereas I have a VTA system. Although it is on rails, its bolted in either of two positions only. I wanted it removable so I can use the van capacity if needed increasing versatility. I am going to have a closer look at the gap sometime today to see what is entailed. I dont think expanding foam is the answer

Reimo floor rails I think they are called.
