Why choose a folding bed base to sleep in your vehicle

Various statistics, such as the one showing the increase in occupancy in campsites, show that the camper world is in a process of expansion. Well, many people realize the autonomy offered by being able to sleep in your own vehicle. This has led many people to prepare their own van or buy camper furniture without paying attention to key points such as the bed base.

Choosing a good bed base is essential to enjoy a good rest. Without it it is not possible to sleep properly, maintain good postural hygiene and have a restful sleep. For this reason, you should never lose sight of it, and it is always a good idea to invest in quality. In the short, medium and long term the results will be seen.

What are the advantages of a folding camper bed base?

Although many of the first products that came onto the market to convert small and medium-sized vans were based on furniture or wooden modules, in recent years folding bed base has appeared. Well, many people have realized that wooden modules or furniture excessively condition the use of the vehicle. Thus, a folding camper bed base is an innovative and convenient product, which has numerous advantages:

1. Greater comfort when sleeping

A slatted bed base, like the one from LikeCamper, provides greater comfort when resting than beds based on smooth or perforated boards. Well, the flexibility of the slats will always be greater than that of a board. In addition, this allows the mattress to be less thick and have the same or greater comfort when sleeping. This means that when the mattress is folded it saves a lot of space, which is ideal in small vans. Fortunately, at LikeCamper there is an offer on folding slatted bed bases that makes it possible to choose the exact model that you need for your particular case.

2. Allows normal use of the vehicle

A camper bed based on a folding bed base allows to do a multipurpose use of the vehicle, since the bed base can be easily installed and uninstalled by one person. In addition, if it is installed, it almost does not condition the van, since it basically replaces the boot tray. This is ideal for people who make double use of their van. That is to say, they use the vehicle, both for work or family and to sleep where they like on their vacations or weekend getaways.

3. It is easy to store

A folding camper bed base takes up much less space than a piece of furniture or a camper module, so they are much easier to store when not in use. Thus, LikeCamper's folded bed bases have the shape of a briefcase with dimensions and weight manageable by a single person. The smallest bed base is 95x62x13 cm and weighs 19 kg, and the largest is 100x75x13 cm and weighs 22 kg. This allows the bed base to be stored anywhere, which is very convenient for people who live in flats and do not have a storage room. In addition, the folded bed base has a handle that makes it easy to transport.

4. Ease of opening and closing the bed base

Obviously, a camper folding bed base hides a lot of technology, but always focused on the functionality of the product. At Likecamper, we have opted for an ingenious system with two bed base parts stored in two frames joined by side bars that open by pulling the upper frame. Learning how to open a LikeCamper folding bed base is easier than it seems.
