(Probably Awful) In-Car Solutions for Sleeping on a Flat Surface
For when you're on the lam and need to catch some Z's
Whether you're fighting with your spouse, out of gas in the middle of nowhere or living life as a fugitive, there may be times when you need to sleep in your car. But just because you're on the FBI's Most Wanted list doesn't mean you're a contortionist; you want a flat, level, padded surface to lie down on. Most vehicles lack these, so what do you do?
If you have an SUV or large wagon, you can treat yourself to one of these:

I haven't linked back to any of the manufacturers because, well, I can't imagine any of these are actually comfortable and worth buying. I think you should either get a divorce, start hitchhiking or turn yourself in.

Recently bought a 2018 Tacoma Sport Double Cab Long Bed. Apart from Roof top tents for camping there are a few other companies, I've discovered, that make air mattresses that fit perfectly to the bed of the truck. Not a bad idea for camping on a budget. These shown look pretty awful, but seeing as an average twin size air mattress is around $20 it beats an $80 hotel night.
I have an old ford focus; I usually fold the driver side backseat forward and sleep with my legs in the trunk. It's really comfortable with a closed cell camping pad, especially if you've been awake for 2 days!
am I weird for thinking it looks super fun to sleep in the back seat of a car? I slept in the driver seat of a rented compact vauxhall for days while in Scotland, it wasn't that bad. I'm sure I would've been happy with that back seat mattress
