subaru forester forum sleeping in the back

The air bag on passenger side is exactly why I have never considered to remove the passenger seat before. You can use the platform as a sitting space in the former back seat area. Getting in and out shouldn't be any real problem, since you have two directional options and you can choose the one that works. Put down a nice foam pad, some blankies, and you can have actual comfort! You'll be sleeping on a flat surface that should be long enough to accommodate you. Use the empty space behind the driver's seat for things that'll make you more comfortable-a lamp, table for your laptop, storage, snacks, a fan, whatever.

Build a platform that will occupy the entire now-empty right-hand side. Take out the back seat AND the passenger seat.

Yes, you can put a foam or inflatable pad on it, but it'll still be uneven and a pain in the something-back, butt, etc. The sad fact is that car seats are terrible for sleeping, and even if you, say, remove the back seat and recline the passenger seat, it will still be a crummy sleeping surface. Don't set something up where you'll be sleeping uncomfortably. If anyone have interest in exploring this possibility, please share with me.ġ. Even if it is possible, I don’t know what else need to be done to use it as a bed. But I don’t know if the passenger seat can be lowered a little bit more until it is flat. I know the whole back seats can be safely removed. Can I lay the passenger seat flat and use it as if it is a small bed? It suddenly occurred to me, what if I remove the whole backseat? That is a lot of space freed. Then I read that someone removed their back seats for precious storage. Even with the headrest removed, the passenger seat can not lay back flat. If only the passenger seat can lay flat, then I can make use of the backseat space too. It surprised me that the passenger side has much less leg room compared with the driver side. The bad side is I can only sleeping facing the roof. I can sit up easily, even directly step to the driver side. I was not laying flat but my arms and legs all have room to move. The easiest solution is sleeping on the passenger seat with the seat move back as far as possible and lay down as low as possible. But at barely 5 ft, the bed will be too short for me. The whole trunk will still be my storage. Find something to fill up the leg room and using an air mattress to create flat surface. The second option is sleeping on the backseat. And there won’t be much storage space left. Absolutely mission impossible in winters. I can build a platform extend to the whole length behind the passenger seat, but there is no way I can climbing into and out of it even in summer clothes when there is not enough head room to sit up. The first option I gave up is lay the backseats flat. I have a 2014 Subaru Forester which I am trying to find a way to sleep in.
