Ideas for quick and easy removable bed?

[Tbennett]

Just got a Berlingo enterprise 2017 and use it for business in the week but had the idea to use it as a getaway from time to time.

As it's used primarily for business I need a bed solution that is removable and doesn't take ages to set up and pack away each time. 

I also would need it to fit through a hatch into the attic for when it isn't being used as I don't have a garage and don't have a big house

Thanks

How about an inflatable or a folding bed? Seriously, you can get some quite good inflatables these days. If it needs a mains voltage pump, simply get an inverter.

I am inclined to agree with Cancunia, if you want the ultimate in packability a inflatable bed would be the way to go.

I've camped on a closed cell self inflating mattress many times over the years and even on hard ground they are surprisingly comfortable.

It would, at the very least, be a cheap way for you to test whether your vehicle is going to be suited to sleeping in You can always upgrade as time goes on and you gain a better idea of what you might need or want.

Really useful boxes advertise that they can take a persons weight so if your worried about storage a few of these with a mattress on top might offer a flexible solution.

We have a couple of these:

pack away into nothing and are fairly easy to assemble - comfortable enough for the odd night but if you are tall and/or wide then they may be a bit snug. Ideal if you want to be up off the floor (our van is a horse wagon so the floor is not that hygienic). Otherwise a decent air mattress or the self inflating closed cell ones as recommended (we have a double sized one of the latter that came out of Lidls a decade ago and it is really good)

I've got a Berlingo van I use as a micro camper and it is fitted with an old folding bed which I've altered to fold up against the side panel. But before I fixed it to the side I just threw it in the van and as long as the passenger seat was down worked fine. Now that I have altered the bed by taking the hinge out of the middle, it is 5 inches shorter and fixed to the side can be used with the seat upright and folds flat so the rear is not affected. But airbed will be easy, cheap and comfortable and would fit under the passenger seat.
