If you put the front seats all the way up and fold the back seat down you can fit a twin size airbed in the back! I always have the airbed in the car just in case I need a place to sleep. I have used it many times when I go camping and don't feel like setting up the tent. I have even used it once at school when I had no classes and worked late the night before. And I have to say I think it's just as comfortable as my real bed. People get jealous of my car when I do things like that and they can't. That's why I love the fit.

 

A stroke of genius - true genius. Twins size huh? K_C_

 

windows are cracked when i would do it in my xterra

 

ill post pictures the weekend of memorial day when i get all my equipment set up

 

I kid you not. Twin size, just add pillow, sleeping bag and girlfriend and lock the doors and your good to go.

 

That is great... I had a full size air bed in a GMC Safari van and the memories will last forever.

 

I have a twin size aero bed that I am going to have to try this out with. Awesome tip!

 

can you take a picture?

 

Are you guys all have the second gen fit (09-10)? I have an 09. Even when I pulled the front seats all the way up and remove the headrest, the front seat back will overlap the back seats. right? So the interior cannot be completely flat, right? Wish to see a photo too. Thanks.

 

What I think too. I'm just going to go out and try it w/ an air mattress. Must be seats full forward and tilted full forward, but you're still gonna be close on the length - just gotta go do it after all the other Saturday chores... K_C_

 

Correct, there is no Refresh mode with the 09 Fit. you have to sleep in the back with the back seats down. To fit an air mattress in, you have to slide the front seats all the way forward.

You mean slide the front seats all the way forward, and keep the front-seat's backs leaning forward as much as possible, right?

 

Right... Front seats NOT reclined at all. Just pushed out of the way. The Previous Gen FIT had front seats that would recline and line up with the rear's (once the head rest was out) for "Refresh Mode"

For the summer, Pop the hatch and drape some Mosquito netting over it (attach with strip magnets to the outside of the car and stake it down...)

ha, mosquito net... how romantic! actually it's the bad humans i am worried about if I were to leave the car open and sleeping there alone in my string bikini underwear. Do you guys ever worried about being mugged? Whenever I take a nap in my Fit (just a nap, in the rest area) I always keep the windows completely closed and doors locked and alarm on.

 

I sleep in the raw and the sight of my naked body is such a repulsive sight that it is a deterrent that keeps everyone away.

 

sounds like that would make me hyperventilate

 

I have slept in my fit '08 , 5'11 and it was comfortable once i figured out to lie diagonally for most distance. It was a snow/rain mix (in a mountain valley bottom, Whistler BC) so pretty damn cold kept having to wake up and run the heater for a bit.

Definitely would not recommend drinking a lot and sleeping in your car when it's raining. The extra 'warmth' is not worth it - u keep having to run out into the rain to go.

 

Thread = worthless w/o pics

 

see? told ya... bad humans!
