How to extend the sleeping area in a passenger car

Jak prodloužit plochu na spaní v osobním autě

If you’re planning on sleeping in your car, you can easily extend your sleeping area to make yourself completely comfortable. Here is a quick guide on how to do it:

Fold Down the Seats: Start by releasing the backrests of the 2nd-row seats to create a flat surface that connects seamlessly with the trunk.
Adjust the Headrests (The Pro Tip): Before folding the backrests down, pull the headrests up a bit. This ensures they won't press flat against the seats, allowing the backrests to drop a few centimeters lower. Most people forget this step or don't even know about it!
Extend the Sleeping Area: Place your retractable trunk cover (parcel shelf) onto the extended headrest prongs. This creates a flat, stable platform that not only extends your sleeping space but also provides extra structural support.
Smart Storage: The best part? The trunk cover stays right inside the car, so you don’t have to leave it in your garage or carry it back home. Plus, whenever you need it—like when parking in the city—you can easily snap it back into its original position in the trunk.

With this simple trick, you can quickly and effortlessly create a comfortable bed inside your car—perfect for weekend getaways or long road trips.
