Lifey

I slept in my Subaru Forester in a lot of places. I usually slept soundly, except for the time a cattle truck pulled in and spent part of the night, close by. That was like a nightmare. But, hey, one bad night out of 30 ain't bad. :)

I took all of the rear seats out of my SUV before the start of trips and used cargo boxes of similar height for gear storage, topped with an air mattress. The space this opens up fits a queen sized air mattress in my Land Cruiser. In my last car (Honda Element) I slept on a 'full' size mattress with the same strategy. I have done similar to everything from a Volkswagon beetle to a Honda Civic CRX. A hatch-back tent really helps open up space, but mesh tacked in place over windows with felt-covered magnets will work to keep the bugs and stuffiness out on the more 'questionable' napping-spots on the road. This strategy doesn't work for families, but for one or two travelers it is fabulous.
