If you’ve ever snoozed in the back of a 5th-generation 4Runner, you likely noticed a 3-inch step down from the folded seats to the trunk. While many campers happily run our 4Runner Air Mattress as is, our new collaboration with BamBeds is a dream solution for sleepers who mind that gap. Crafted from burly birch here in the USA, this 4-piece BamBed transforms your 4Runner into a flawlessly flat sleeping platform in a matter of minutes.
Compatibility: The BamBed is only compatible with 5th-generation 4Runners, more specifically 2010+ 4Runners with no third row seats and no sliding tray.
Only available for USA shipping. Excluded from promotions.
How much space is underneath the platform?
The step between the folded middle seats and the trunk is approximately 3 inches. The Baltic Birch platform sits flush with the folded middle seats, and the platform plywood is approximately .7 inches thick, leaving around 2.3 inches of space beneath the platform. If you’re making plans to store gear underneath the platform, we recommend planning for a gap of 2 inches.
Is the BamBed necessary to use Luno’s 4Runner Air Mattress?
Nope, absolutely not! Many Luno campers build their own platforms, use foam padding or blankets to bridge the gap, or ignore it completely. The BamBed isn’t requisite by any means. Instead, it’s a drop-in solution for sleepers who are bothered by the gap and want a portable, professionally made sleeping platform.
Precisely engineered for 5th-Gen 4Runners, this Baltic Birch sleeping platform fits snugly between the wheel wells and sits flush with the folded middle seats. The result is a phenomenally flat sleeping surface that’s a perfect platform for our award-winning air mattresses.
By lifting your sleeping platform, the BamBed creates a two-inch slot underneath the bed that’s perfect for storing extra gear. We recommend using it to stash long, slim items like axes, trekking poles, etc. It isn’t a full-blown gear garage, but this nifty compartment boosts your gear-hauling capacity by a significant margin!
Unfortunately, every day isn’t a camping trip. Fortunately, the easily disassembled BamBed has a slim footprint and can be easily stored in a standard closet. Installation and disassembly are simple, no tools, screws, or expletives required.
Crafted from premium Baltic Birch plywood, BamBeds are built to last. The plywood consists of long, continuous grain sheets that sport an even ply thickness through the laminate, making it resistant to warping. The thick face plys are ultra-tough and resistant to scratching and splintering, too.
Baltic Birch plywood is exceptionally strong. So strong, in fact, that each board can support over 800 pounds. If you somehow break a board, we’ll send you a replacement free of charge.
Was totally a game changer, way better than stacking blankets so stepped it up!
