Here are 10 Bed Designs for you to consider for you Van Conversion! This video has been created to be an extra information resource for people who have got a copy of our Van Conversion Guide.

Some of the vans featured:

Deciding what to do with your bed is probably the biggest decision for your entire van build because it basically defines your layout, space and storage.

These 10 designs feature the tried and tested as well as some more unusual design options.

I hope you enjoy! We plan on doing a part two of this (probably another 10 - when we have filmed enough!).

I always think of these beds along the lines of “if I were absolutely hammered could I do it?” And if it’s a no then I wouldn’t use it

[markbtw]

I've found that the best system for me was a tatami mat and Japanese futon. They're made to be folded up or hung in the sun which opens up more space than any other bed design. They're also 100% natural and hanging the mattress out in the day makes it incredibly nice to sleep on.

I have no idea why I find it comforting to watch pple who are strangers just chilling in their bed

Not only is this video about DIY bed ideas, it is a quick tour of the variety of English accents! Lovely!

We’ve got a permanent full size double with an amazing mattress. We can still cook, get dressed, sit, use our toilet etc. When I’m ready to sleep I want to sleep, no way I’m messing with a jigsaw puzzle like some of these. Loads of storage under the bed too.

I clicked on this because of the thumbnail, great work guys!

"somewhere between a double and a king" ummm a queen? xD

[SyllabicBody]

I am IN LOVE with the hammock hook idea - why did I not think of that before? I go out of my way to make my hammock work everywhere that we stop lol

Anything that's not a fixed bed is not quite as simple as "Voila" as seen in most of these videos... you still have to get out the sheets/pillows etc and make up the bed. Fixed bed all the way for me.

First bed is the best ! Fixed and ready to get into action at anytime. If I am driving and I want to relax, I would just like to open my door, and threw myself into the fixed bed. Great !

[nisley]

This video and also the 10 (MORE) video have absolutely convinced me I want a fixed bed! The storage you get underneath on both sides looks awesome!

I lived in a VW Eurovan, a tall Sprinter, and a 5th wheel. In my opinion, most vans try to cram too much into the small space.


Everyone needs to decide the 2 or 3 most important things for them and design to that. For me, they are: 1) A big comfy warm bed that is easy to get in and out of, and 2) Comfy seating during daytime, socializing, etc.... and 3) Lot's of natural light and visibility.


My preference is a fixed bed, similar to the first van in this video, except with more storage space under the bed... for seating, I don't do fixed seating because I prefer to sit in the outdoors most of the time so I have very comfy folding chairs... for indoor seating, just keep enough pillows to sit upright on the bed.

I just put my couch and coffee table in the back of my van and that"s it. i slept on my couch in my apartment and realized i could use the same setup for my new van home.

Can you please get a video of the Drop-down Table van at 4:10

You left out the space saving murphy wall bed. Many cool murphy designs in van conversions out there. That dog is a lush 🐾

[kyfisher]

so much van life stuff on big vans, it would be great to see more on small vans :)

[Papuaani]

The 3rd one is the best. Fixed bed, but you can decide if you want it full width or just half of it.
