Teraglide platform bed set up inside SUV trunk, showing full-length flat sleeping surface for car camping comfort.

Which Cars Fit a Full-Length Camping Bed in the Trunk?

Trying to sleep in the back of your car often sounds easier than it is. Sure, you can throw down a mattress—but most vehicles weren’t designed for that. Gaps, slants, uneven floors… that’s where a custom-fit platform makes all the difference.

Why It’s Not About the Car—It’s About the Fit

Most vehicles with folded rear seats provide an internal space between 180–190 cm. That’s technically long enough for most people. But a truly flat and supportive sleeping surface requires smart design. That’s what we do.

At Teraglide, we scan the interior of each vehicle model and build your platform to match every contour—no gaps, no tools, no stress. Just a bed that feels like home.

Flat Means Comfortable

Each PRO Teraglide platform includes:

  • A fold-out shoulder extension for taller sleepers
  • A sub-trunk lift system for extra storage access
  • Stoppers to hold drawers open and closed, even on slopes
  • A slatted bamboo top for airflow and comfort

Add your favourite mattress (like the Exped MegaMat or one from this REI guide) and you’re ready for a solid night’s sleep.

Small Car? No Problem (Maybe)

Even short vehicles can fit a platform—but not all adults will be able to stretch out fully. If your interior length is below 175 cm, the platform will still work but may be best for kids or curled-up sleepers.
