£99.00 Bed That Fits a SWB Kombi Perfectly

[Lord Mfwic]

What mattress toppers are people using oaths bed as its smaller than a standard double size. ?

We use the ikea ones, there is a wide choice, and they are brilliant, last for years.

Would you think it possible to adapt the bed to fit over the triple Kombi bench, either when folded flat or tipped up?

maybe if you was to raise the floor behind the bench ... so when it opens it opens onto the folded bench... then again, the feet would get in the way... you may either fold the bench forwards, and get away with it (dont think you would) or change the bed so when its folded out, there is no feet under it and it simply rests on the bench

Cheers I see what your saying

Reckon you’re onto something though.... boxed section raised between wheelarches carpeted. Space underneath for storage and then a fold out bed with 5 seats

I think this is what I'm going to try for. The boxed sections on either side could also be useful storage and also combine as a kids seat/worktop

Would you really need the 5 seats and only 1 bed for 2?

Made the trip today to my local German IKEA and bit the bullet and purchased one, can’t be bad for £75 after the tax is removed.......

Nice one. Don't forget the photos. We love our bed as much as the one at home.
Welcome to the under £99 bed club!

There's 4 of us -2 adults and 2 young kids. Just want to be able to crash in the van for the occassional 1-nighter, when we arrive late on a Friday and don't want the hassle of setting up the tent. Kids will go on stretcher type beds accross front doors and twin sliders.

How do you guys fix this down in a fully carpeted van with no tie down points. Would be interesting to see how @ShaunR and @Dannyb6467 have done it.

 

[Dannyb6467]

Mine is carpeted but still has the lashing points exposed. Simple 25mm wide ratchet strap over the bed frame but under the mattress for me.

Mine fits nice and tight on its own between the wheel arches, I didn't need to tie it down and so far it hasn't moved if I have it up or down .

 

[Dannyb6467]

Mine didnt move without being held down but while not in use i put stuff onto the bed with a piece of wood under it to act as a shelf. I was a bit worried the extra weight and momentum may cause the bed to move under braking. Mind you it could only move forward about 6 inches anyway.

Aint these beds brilliant !!

 

[Whitey87]

Bought and now fitted. Although I will give a bit of advice to anyone buying this bed. Do not try an build this in the van. Makes it 100x more complicated. Doh.

 

[ShaunR]

I tried to do it in the van and it drove me nuts , think it's best to have someone assist you and preferably not the wife who all of a sudden becomes a know it all

 

[Whitey87]

Which boxes do people use that will fit underneath this?
