Downsides:
1. Although we had 24" of headroom, my girlfriend still wished she could sit up in bed.
2. Since the bed is over the side doors you must bend over to get in and out while deployed. Due to this, we usually stacked up the bed while not sleeping. The two movable platforms and bedding stacked neatly in the extended nose of the top, over the front seats. The downside is setting up and taking down the bed every day.

1. I used a rear seat from an older van conversion. Found in a junkyard. One of the kind that simply folds in the middle to lay flat. I turned it sideways and mounted it behind the drivers seat. We did deploy this into a roughly 5'x4' lounge platform for extended naps! Also, with a swivel driver seat, the bed "area" could extend into the front seats for a full length bed. Multiple friends slept down there on ski trips and such. Could also make a great kids bed.
