Campervan Pods for Width-Ways Sleeping in VW Crafter & Mercedes Sprinter

VW Crafter campervan pods

One of the biggest challenges when converting a VW Crafter or Mercedes Sprinter is creating a comfortable sleeping area without sacrificing living and storage space. Width-ways sleeping pods are an innovative solution that allows your bed to span the full width of the van, giving you a large, comfortable sleeping area while maximising storage underneath.

At Bliss Conversions Suffolk, we specialise in width-ways sleeping pods, designed to turn your van into a practical and luxurious campervan.

What Are Width-Ways Sleeping Pods?

Width-ways sleeping pods are modular bed units installed across the van’s width, rather than running length-ways. This setup is perfect for larger vans like the VW Crafter and Mercedes Sprinter, where interior width allows for full-sized beds without compromising other living areas.

Key features include:

• Full-width sleeping space for comfort

• Storage underneath the bed for gear, bikes, or luggage

• Optional slide-out or lift-up mechanisms for easy access

• Can integrate with kitchen, bathroom, or seating pods

  
  

Benefits of Width-Ways Sleeping Pods

1. Comfortable Sleep

With a full-width design, you get a larger mattress that’s more like a traditional bed than a narrow van-length setup. Perfect for couples or taller travellers.

2. Maximises Storage

The pod design creates a “garage” under the bed for bulky items like bikes, boards, or luggage. Pull-out drawers or slide-out compartments make access easy.

3. Flexible Layouts

Width-ways pods allow for:

• Rock and roll or fixed beds above storage

• Fold-down or lift-up beds

• Integration with modular kitchen and bathroom units

4. Professional Finish

Pods provide a clean, factory-style look that hides wiring, plumbing, and structural supports.

Installation Considerations

• Van width and interior space: Width-ways sleeping is best suited to large vans like the VW Crafter and Mercedes Sprinter.

• Weight distribution: Ensure the bed and storage don’t unbalance the van.

• Access to storage: Plan drawers, sliding trays, or lift-up panels for convenience.

• Electrical integration: Consider lighting, USB sockets, or even heating underneath the bed.

• Professional installation: Precision is key for a durable, comfortable pod.
