In this blog the campervan insurance<\/a> experts at Sterling insurance try to help you get a good night\u2019s sleep on your next road trip by giving you some ideas on which campervan bed to choose for your next project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A fixed campervan bed is the simplest way to provide sleeping space in your cvan. A mattress is usually fitted onto a wooden platform to provide a sturdy bed with lots of storage space beneath it, which is an added bonus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The bed will be there and ready to use, which is great if you need some shut eye to break a long journey or if you arrive at your destination late at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The disadvantage of a fixed bed is its permanence. It means you may be compromised for space and have little room for regular seating and dining areas or for a decent kitchenette. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A rock and roll camper bed is a design that doubles as living space during the day and then converts into a bed at night. It\u2019s usually a sofa that flips out with drop down support legs to form a bed when you need it. It\u2019s a great way to make the most of the limited space available in your camper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The drawback is that every night you\u2019ll need to make up your bed, and then every morning you will need to unmake it again. There is a wide selection of rock and roll beds on the market<\/a>, if your DIY skills aren\u2019t quite up to the job. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The table bed can be used for living and dining space during the day and, like the rock and roll bed, it folds away at night to create a comfortable place to sleep. The main thing to note is that you\u2019ll need space to comfortably fit the table part of your camper bed when it\u2019s not in use and you’ll have to make and unmake it each time you use it. This makes it a good option for medium-sized campers and those who don\u2019t mind setting up their bed even after long drives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pulldown camper beds are fixed to the ceiling rather than the wall of your campervan and are another great use of the space available. This can be a lightweight single child\u2019s bed or a more robust double to sleep a couple. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Smaller campervan conversions<\/a> might suit a bench bed, or flip bench bed, which provides Ottoman-style seating during the day and a double bed at night when you fold out the bench seat. You\u2019ll need storage space for your mattress, pillows and bedding during the day and, once again, you will have to be prepared to make it each time you use it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Children love bunk beds and you can get a fixed set or a flip-out set that fits flush to the van wall when not in use. A fixed set is great for younger children that need to sleep earlier and a flip-out set is better for teenagers who like to stay up late on their holiday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can make the most of the space available above your head by fitting a double roof bed in a pop top. Alternatively, specialist manufacturers supply roof top tents<\/a>. These are a great way to provide extra sleeping space in smaller campers<\/a>, but probably not advisable for anyone prone to sleepwalking.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"campervan](\"https:\/\/sterling-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2022\/03\/table-bed-1024x700.jpg\")
