Show your DIY sleeping platforms!

[dav;d aka Claus]

I am figuring out how to do this using the Wrangler JL Unlimited rollbars to level and support my 30"x74" sleep platform. If I sleep with my head to the front of the Jeep the ¾" plywood shouldn't need additional support at the feet end.

I have used the suspension bed method to level my bed in both a cargo trailer and a tall van. I placed the mattress platform on ½" pipe legs, and when I couldn't find a level spot to park, the clinch straps made it easy to adjust and level the bed.

See the process in the video starting at 6:08 through 9:25.

Here is mine:

Started rebuilding my platform. Taking a bit more time and redesigned it. I'll put up 'plans' for it once I'm done. I built it a bit wide, so it's sitting on the lip on the left side, hence the support on the bottom right. It makes it a bit higher than I want, but not too bad.

Did you ever post your "plans" for your sleeping platform? I'm interested in building one in my JKU?

I put something up in this forum, I think. Just a basic pencil drawing with measurements.

I just completed mine for my 2016 JKU.

I got a lot of inspiration from everyone's posts so I thought I'd share my solo setup. Just completed it- it folds onto itself and sits neatly in the cargo area when not in use.

I dont think I posted mine here.

Diesel heater hooked up.

The futon just sits inside, pull out and 4 bolts put passenger seat back in.
