Best Camper Bed Options We Offer at Big Bear Vans

If you're looking for comfort, flexibility, and smart space designs, Big Bear Vans never disappoints, as in our custom campervans we offer a wide range of bed styles to suit various lifestyles. From elevator beds to dinette-to-bed setups and stationary bed options, our designs are engineered to meet your needs and demands. Let’s explore the bed options available at Big Bear Vans.

Elevator beds are the hallmark of our interior designs and most of our models at Big Bear Vans feature elevator beds. Elevator beds, as the name suggests, are related to automation. It is a bed that moves up and down just like an elevator. When not in use, it frees up floor space underneath, which can be used for dinettes, seating, or storage.

Big Bear Vans offers electric elevator beds that can be:

✅ Raised or lowered using a button, thus making access easier.

✅ Expandable bed base to give you more sleeping area.

✅ Space-saving design, as it gives you floor space when raised

✅ On our client’s demand, in some of our custom campervans, we also installed a pull-out ladder to get easy access to the elevator bed.

💠 Introducing you to one of our proud builds, Santa Monica Gray, featuring an upgraded expandable elevator bed. The cherry on top is that it comes with height adjustability, allowing you to lower it to any level depending on the amount of space you want underneath it. Amazing, isn’t it?

💠 Mont Fort,another model at Big Bear Vans, is one of our finest works, which comes equipped with an elevator bed with expandable sides, a dinette area convertible to a lower bed, and additional convertible seats for sleeping, which can accommodate one or two people.

💠 Besides these vans, our other designs, including Lake Tahoe and Carlsbad, also incorporate elevator beds with memory foam or queen-size RV mattresses.

2.Dinette to Bed System

If you are planning to travel in a small van, another smart option that Big Bear Vans offers to its clients is the dinette bed system, where your dining area transforms into a sleeping space. It works wonders for you as it consists of two benches and a table in the middle. You can remove the table, lower it between the benches, and use the cushions to make a flatbed whenever you want to sleep.

✅ It serves multiple purposes, sleeping and eating, as you can transform it into a mini dining area during the day and a bed at night.

✅ Moreover, these dinette benches can also accommodate a heater and serve as a storage box.

✅ It’s super easy to transform the benches into a bed. Even children can easily transform it.

✅ Since we are a family-focused business, most families prefer to install an elevator bed over the dinette bed system to have comfortable sleeping for themselves and their kids.

✅ For the family-friendly campervans, we install a 3-inch thick cushion so the people sleeping in the lower bunk have more air and headspace.

✅ For solo travelers and couples, we install a 4-inch-thick cushion for a breathable sitting experience.

💠 Our Santa Monica (All Variants) has a dinette bed system that transforms into a bed in seconds.

💠 Palermo and Lagos campervans also have dinette bed systems.

💠 Palma is one of our early projects featuring a U-shaped dinette for 6 people with custom cushions and easy conversion.

A stationary bed in a van life setup is always ready and stays in its fixed position. It is like a normal bed that we use in our homes.

✅ You can sleep on it whenever you want without having to worry about unfolding or sliding it.

✅ A stationary bed gives you a lot of underneath-bed storage or acts as a garage for your adventure gear.

💠 Calabasas – It is the only model at Big Bear Vans with a stationary bed, built per our client's request.

Adding to our list of inventions, our fold-away and pull-out beds are for those who are looking for smart, space-efficient solutions

💠 Phoenix – Features fold-away King size bed (70’’ by 75’’).

When customizing your campervan, you wouldn’t want even an inch to go wasted, and that is why choosing the right camper bed matters the most, as it helps you save a lot of space if you go for smarter options. Before choosing a camper bed for your van, you need to think about:

Before choosing a camper bed for your van, you need to think about your travel lifestyle. Whether you’re going to use the van as a solo traveler, as a couple, or as a family. Your answer will decide the kind of bed setup you need in your campervan.

The next thing to consider is your van size and layout. We recommend pull-out, fold-away, or dinette-to-bed options for small vans. If you are traveling in a medium- to large-sized van, stationary beds or elevator beds will perfectly suit your needs.

Before making any decision about the kind of bed that you want for your camper, just sit down and think carefully about your needs, and then make a choice after considering all the things. If you’re an adventurer with gear, then your van layout and bedding setup will be different.

At Big Bear Vans, we don’t just build vans; we fully prioritize the needs and comfort of our clients and believe in leaving no stone unturned to satisfy them. Therefore, we customize vans in such a way that makes our clients feel at home, giving them the best adventures ever. Whether you need a compact dinette bed setup or a luxurious elevator bed with side extensions, our experts are always at your service, giving you the best home on wheels.

Choosing the right campervan bed setup is one of the decisions that you should make wisely because it changes the layout of your van and decides how much space you are going to have to move around and do other things. Every van is different, and you can’t pick out the same size of bed that fits all. That is why you need to think smartly to choose the perfect bed that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also gives you enough functional space. At Big Bear Vans, we build premium custom campervans and install multiple camper beds according to our client’s choices.
