Lots of tickling opportunity!
Or waking up to a cow licking your feet...
By cow I mean the farm animal, not the female person 'cow'...
I like the idea of the sprinter-like width wise bed. Opens up design/storage possibilities. Especially if you want to have a bike ‘garage’ in there though this would need to be a front wheel off sliding drawer type.
Something like this and disguise it as a Defender type side box perhaps?
The Sprinter world has a number of solutions to this, including a slide out side panel.

There's various issues with doing this on a T6, which is probably why no-one makes them. Mainly, even with a LWB you'd struggle to fit a double bed in the rear window area. Then the sliding door clearance would be incredibly tight. And you'd need about 20cm extra as I think the T6 is only 170cm wide at the bottom of the window level. And putting the bed at that level means you can't sit up in it.
@TallPaul_S yeah agreed. There’s just not enough space to work with, even for a single bed in a mid-roof van.
Or alternatively perhaps after a good curry night sleeping with your head outside could be an attractive option.
Am I wrong to think (with the freezer turned off, obviously!) that you'd get a cracking nights sleep in one of them? All nice aand snuggled up, no noisy neighbours either...

During my only time in one I never got much sleep. I had to be ready to spring "back to life" when the drawer was opened for the probationer to ID me.
Ah takes me back, the jolly japes we got up to that would probably now land one in the soapy bubble .

I had to have an MRI on head and neck once and was it might be very claustrophobic, loud and to press a button they handed me if I wanted it to stop - nonproblem, everyone presses it etc.. I had a lovely chill out and was a bit miffed I had to leave.
Having said that I once almost fell asleep during a root canal.
Oh aye, pull a jwheeze now and the Rubber Heels will be after you.
I guess there would be fabric around it all, like a no attire side on pop top?
Would dealing be an issue when closed? Wind over the gap around the edges at motorway speed would act as in a way to suck the panel out a bit.
Or is this out the rear window?
Must be the side window if you’re sleeping sideways.
I stick with my forty winks and the pop top for now.
Good point. I forgot I’d read that when I was staring at the diagram. Memory of a goldfish.
Do you only come out at night and loose your powers during the daylight hours. Avoiding direct sun light and garlic perhaps.
