Step one
What fits your car?
Pick your car. You'll see which platforms fit, and what we can build for it.
Boot to bed
It rides in the boot
Seats up, boot usable. Monday to Friday it's just your car.
Unfold the bed
It opens out and latches in place. Takes out the seat slope — park as level as you can and you sleep flat. One side for solo, both for two.
Your gear goes underneath
The drawer slides out on runners and stops in both positions. Gear lives under the bed, not on top of you. The sub-trunk lid still opens — the fridge stays reachable.
Bed ready. Doors locked.
Flat, full length and quiet. That's the whole setup.

Built for your car, or adjusted to it.
Three platforms, one idea: a proper bed in the car you already drive, folded away when you don't need it.

Fits your car — and your next one.
- Adjustable legs take out the slope of the boot floor
- Arrives fully assembled, camp-ready the day it lands
- Fits most SUVs, wagons and EVs
The lowest bed. The most headroom.
- Made for Tesla — Model Y, Model 3 and Model S
- Folds and unfolds easily
- The sub-trunk still opens — small items fit underneath
Solo trips
Easy enough to do on your own.
The question we hear most from people who camp solo: can I really do this by myself? Yes — that's what it's designed for.
- 01Three parts, one at a timePRO comes apart into three pieces, and you carry each one in yourself.
- 02Nothing to hold, nothing to boltThe bed folds out and latches in place. No tools.
- 03Locked in, not zipped inGlass and steel around you instead of canvas. Lock the doors and sleep.
Compared
Six ways to sleep in or by your car, side by side.
Including where a platform is the wrong buy. We'd rather tell you before you order.
| Our pickTeraglide platform | Levelling mattress | Mattress in boot | Tent | Roof tent | Campervan | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Setup time | 42 seconds | 5–10 min to inflate, deflate to drive | Fast | 10–20 min | 5–10 min + ladder | Parked & ready |
| Comfort | Flat slatted bed. Takes out the seat slope | Evens out the lumps, not the 5–12° seat slope | Lumpy over seats, gaps | Uneven ground, cold, damp | Thin pad, sways in wind | Living space |
| Weather | Wind and rain stay outside. Quieter than a tent | Sealed inside | Sealed inside | Wind, rain & cold get in | Exposed up top | Sealed & insulated |
| Security | Doors locked | Doors locked | Doors locked | No lock, open space | Exposed, climb down | Lockable |
| Storage | Gear in the drawer. Fridge in the sub-trunk still reachable | Fridge and gear buried under the mattress | Bags pile up on you | Gear stays outside | Very limited, must climb | Built-in cupboards |
| Keep your daily car | Folds into the boot. Seats stay free | Deflate and stow | Yes, but messy | Unaffected | Bulky on the roof. A roof box cost us 32% more energy (our test) | Not a daily driver |
| Headroom | Less — the bed sits above the storage | Most of any option in the car | Barely changes | Full sitting height | Can sit up inside | Stand-up height |
| Cost | One-off, $820–1,940 USD | $369–899 USD | $50–300 | Cheap | Tent plus roof bars | A second vehicle to buy, insure and park |
| Best for | Weekends to full-time, with gear and a fridge | Occasional nights. No fridge, little gear | Quick naps, first try | Budget group camping | Keeping the boot free | Full-time trips |
Reviews
Google rating. Most reviews mention the help, not only the bed.
I originally bought a competitor's platform because Teraglide didn't ship to Norway at the time. I really regret not waiting — this is clearly the better product… everything fits together seamlessly. It's perfect.
“We're looking at buying a new Tesla Y LWB, but are holding off until George finishes a Teraglide to suit!”
“Came across Teraglide after watching a lot of YouTube car campers. I wasn't impressed with the competition out there and was about to give up until I came across Teraglide!”
“As a DIYer I cannot approach the price and quality they offer.”
“No question was too hard.”
Questions go to the people who build it.

Can you legally sleep in your car?
Almost everywhere, yes — if you do it the right way. Sleep inside a legally parked car; don't set up camp around it. Country guides below.
