    FS truck bed sleeping platform
    Cost me about $250 to build
    Asking $150obo

    pics don’t show the foam I’ll take more ASAP

    bed is a couple months old. Made with sideways 2x6 supports to give you room for drawer storage underneath
    5/8” smooth plywood for strength, and carpeting upholstered with glue and staples

    I have it in my 2nd gen DCSB 5’ bedrug lined bed

    it can be removed to store
    Shortly after I purchased 4” foam from a military surplus store and cut it (kept the cuts) to fit at an angle.
    Because yes, you can sleep up to 6’ tall in a shortbed if you go at an angle.
    Simply lay the bedding, sleeping bag, etc of your choice on top

    I am hoping fitment will work without a bedrug if you don’t have one. I know with mine the cut is tight enough where it takes effort to get them in.
    The plywood is cut vertically into two panels

    why 4” foam? Because it adds comfort and that’s what’s most popular.

    Bed is also strong and roomy enough to haul cargo, in addition to anything stored underneath out of sight.
