Show us your truck bed sleeping platform/drawer/storage systems

I made some drawers. This thread was getting a little polluted and I didnt want to add to it, full details here:

Looking good man!

 

how deep did you make your drawers? Thinking mine would be 8-10"

 

alright solid, my tie down points are 10" from the bottom so sounds like Ill be doing roughly the same deal.

 

Also while Im here, anyone know where I can get a bed thats about the width of a twin but shorter than 75" preferably like 70" or less. width doesnt matter too much as long as its a twin width or smaller.

 

May have to go custom or crafty for that. I don’t personally know of any, except maybe two children’s beds side by side?

Or a cheap twin and just chop off 5” and then enclose it in a removable, washable sheet?

 

was thinking about doing that but figured it'd be messy. Ill see what I can do, maybe several layers of foam or something.

 

hey, where'd you get the handles for those drawers? Do they lock in somehow?

 

Got them off Amazon... they dont lock unfortunatly.

 

I bought this 2" memory foam mattress topper from Amazon and cut it to fit my sleeping platform. I cut it with a sharp utility knife (long blade) and there was zero mess. Fits perfect and it's much denser/more comfortable than the more craft like foam I was looking at at the craft store. That foam btw wasn't wide enough for a single piece and I didn't want to deal with multiple pieces. It was pretty $$ too from what I recall.

I've slept great on the 2" memory foam. I bought a thin fleece blanket and just cover it and tuck it around the edges. When I remove it, I simply fold it in half and then roll it up (not too tight) with some Velcro straps and store in a closet.

That company makes a few similar mattresses of slightly different sizes. I have

this one, and it's ok, but if I could do it over again, I'd get 4" or more thick.

 

I posted these in the “what’s under your camper shell” thread but I also got a bunch of ideas from this thread.
Here is my full write up as to why I built it the way I did.
Thanks for all the ideas.

Thanks. Yeah I use The bottom too much to commit to drawers. I really like the drawers if your unit is not going to be removed. Spearguns, gear and kill bag slide in and out of my underneath section nicely though.

 

Looks good! I have that same red/black bag. I bought it specifically for carrying recovery gear.

 

What kinda bag?

 

One like this.

 

Thanks it's what I've been looking for

 

Might have posted some of these before...

 

Where the heck do you sleep?

We found the same problem. We use the sleeping platform for storing stuff, and then need to load the cab up with that stuff if we want to sleep in the back. So much trouble we usually do not.

I can shove stuff around and barely fit at an angle.
