Another rear bed project

[Bridor]

After seeing some of the cool things people have been doing to create a comfortable bed in the back of the Model S, I decided to try something new. First, I was browsing Walmart when I came across a folding table that appeared to be the correct thickness when folding for the area behind the rear seats. Also, it could be used as a table at your destination which was a cool feature - $46.47.

I then found a website that does custom foam pieces - $69.61

Total project cost a little under $300 - not bad. I can fully stretch out (I am 6 feet 1 inches tall). I just did a trip from Arizona to Kirkwood, California and I was able to get some good sleep back there. I hope this inspires other Tesla owners out there.

Nice and great project.

Could you show how the bed fit inside the trunk or the frunk when not in use.

In particular, can you fold back the rear seat and put the table flat inside the trunk?

Watts_Up - see picture #5 - this is the view with the rear seats up and the mattress is rolled up with luggage straps. I probably could fit the mattress in the frunk as I have the old 2014 version. The area in the back just gets reduced by 3 inches on the bottom, so you can still put lots of items in the back. For my purposes, I used the frunk to put all of my luggage so that I would not have to rearrange things when it was time to sleep.

Thanks,

Nice project. I have considered taking the S camping some more. I used an air mattress for a few nights once and it was okay, but not the greatest. This is definitely next level.
