Sleeping in Passenger Seat of Tacoma

Hello all,

I have seen a few threads on this topic. Not much info, just a lot of opinions. I am more curious on the how to sleep in passenger seat versus is it comfortable? I don’t expect it to feel like a bed, but I am trying to make it work. I am only 5’8 (on a good day, more like 5’7 1/2). I am trying to save a little money on a road trip. Stopping at a rest area to sleep. Let me know your ideas and if you can provide any info. Thanks!

 

been there done that

only stop where its safe !!

it is at best pssable

a really gooooood shower

a really goooooooood massage

at the end will go far

 

what road dog said! you can do it...but not for an extended period!

 

Terrible for the back if you plan to keep driving.

You need a good sleep, either sleep in the bed with a sleeping bag, or get a scuzzy motel.

 

I looked up reviews, I plan on sleeping at Texarkana Arkansas Rest Stop. It has a lot of good reviews. I would sleep at most 6-7 hours and be on my way.

 

if you really think youre going to sleep for 6-7 hours, youre kidding yourself...

 

You think it’d be that uncomfortable? I mean honestly?

 

true dat that seat is like an alarm clock

better to get a nap than end up in a ditch

how many miles U tryin for .......................

 

Yes and yes

 

Terrible. Well maybe. Some people sleep well in a fixed position on their back. Not me.

 

I just said screw it and got a hotel. I sleep on my stomach so that may not be such a good idea.

 

Good call. It’s all but impossible to get anything more then a nap like that

 

I appreciate the info. Thanks!

 

Your welcome. Maybe try a car camping night sometime when you don’t need the rest for safety. Then you’ll know for sure.

 

If you have a canopy (camper shell/topper) I sleep better in mine than I do at home.

 

KOA cabins are a cheap alternative that gives you access to a shower. We’ve used them a lot.
I’ve also spent several nights rolled out in a bivy sack right next to my truck… YMMV

 

That works well! Course I always seem to have a pile of gear in the back…

 

Best damn sleep… evar.

 

Wow. Do you have aIr conditioning?

 

Haven’t really needed it. Been thinking sunroof or sliding canvas roof for 12 years, now
