I just wanna let you know that this video got me through a really rought time, thanks so much for posting this when you did.

[@reywrites]

Aww, I'm so glad I could help. Thanks for reaching out. Best wishes

[@Shaze-haze]

Slide the driver seat all the way forward and remove the headrest. Then you can fold your driver seat all the way back until it reaches the backseat. They line up perfectly so you can lay flat with minimal adjustment to your car seats. ❤😊

[@reywrites]

I'm glad that worked for you! Thanks for sharing. In my car, the driver seat actually runs into the bottom cushion of the back seat first (so the head rest doesn't touch even if it's all the way down). That's why removing the bottom cushion really helped for me. Thanks for watching!

[@salemk.3098]

can you make a video about it? i’d appreciate it, i’m in the process of getting a used hybrid to live in it

[@and3547]

@@reywrites So nice of you Thanks a lot happy journey

[@Alan-76ersPA]

Where did you put the taken off cushion though?

[@Alan-76ersPA]

Just take off and put where? In the trunk?

[@harleyhammock4214]

Honestly thank you! I just moved to Colorado and it’s insanely expensive. I’ve been looking into generators and different things so I can maybe make it in my car. The problem was the trunk like you mentioned. But now that I know I can comfortably sleep… time to brainstorm more

[@reywrites]

Ah glad this was helpful! Colorado has got to be cold this time of year. I'd start with a zero degree sleeping bag and maybe electric rechargeable heating pad... I'd be interested to hear how a generator would work in a car. Thanks for reaching out and good luck!!

[@harleyhammock4214]

It would have to be a solar generator. With the solar panels in the back, most cars have UV protection in the windshield. But if you’re driving it can be plugged into the car charger port, 782wh-1000wh battery capacity

[@reywrites]

@@harleyhammock4214 ohh, very interesting! I've never considered putting solar inside the car. Good to know about the windshield vs. back window. I do have a 300wh battery that I plug into the 12v while driving. Works pretty well but not enough capacity for heating.

That's completely fair! I am 5'3" but I can imagine this wouldn't work as well for someone taller. Thanks for watching!

[@johnwdowell]

Awesome, the way you set up your Civic! I've been a car camping nomad for a few years. Last car I camped in was my 2001 Honda Insight. I took 2 passenger side seat bolts loose, so I could fold the top of the seat flat. I cut a piece of plywood, about 2' x 3' to bridge the gap . I had one foam from Walmart and one from Jo Ann fabrics. Now I'm camping in a 2010 Prius. I just have my rear seats folded down all the time with my foams, pillow and a couple of sheets. I am still always thinking about how to improve my car setup. Go Nomads. 😊

This is a good idea, i have a kia spectra and its just so small on the back... Its me -5'9" and a sixty lb lab, and ee both like to stretch out 😆 this would be great to save money so we can go on longer road trips. Id rather sleep in my y car than a tent for safety and warmth. Thank you

[@reywrites]

Thanks for sharing! I hope it works out in the Kia spectra! I tend to be a little more comfy in a vehicle than a tent also.

[@BigMac-e1g]

Cool idea

[@reywrites]

Thanks!

[@Inkling777]

Thanks for the suggestions. I have one of my own. In summer a car can get uncomfortably warm. A battery-powered fan can help. Get one that's USB-rechargable and you can charge the battery from your car battery while traveling the next day.

[@reywrites]

Good idea, thanks for sharing! Battery powered fans are pretty neat!

[@posteroonie]

For me at 5'8" the key was to support my legs. I would put a rolled-up sleeping bag in the passenger footwell to get an extra foot of room to stretch out. Then I could sleep comfortably on my back with the seat back all the way down. For your Civic hybrid I might try one of those small folding stools in the footwell, with the memory foam on top of it, to get extra length. At 5'3" you have a great advantage. I've always been comfortable enough travelling in small cars and economy class airline seats, and sleeping on 3 seater couches. Short is best sometimes. :)

[@reywrites]

Thanks for watching and for your suggestion! A stool with foam on top sounds like a great way to lengthen the seat.

[@dd___dc]

I been living in my honda civic 09 for about 3 years everything you mentioned was on point I sleep in the front seat and back seat I mix it up I am 5'6 200 lbs I don't use any memory foam

[@reywrites]

Thank you for sharing! That's a great idea of switching between different seats in the car. One of the hardest parts for me was sleeping in the same position in the back seat before I figured out better ways. Glad you liked the video and thanks for watching! Best wishes.

[@dd___dc]

@@reywrites in the back I move position constantly its very uncomfortable I use the handle on ceiling to turn position the most comfortable position for me was face down legs up this was the way I can stretch my legs somewhat i look like a face planted letter L 🤔🤔🤣😭

[@reywrites]

@@dd___dc ohh interesting. I would lay on my side with legs tucked. All the positions in the back seat are fairly uncomfortable I think. one of my best was putting the front passenger seat all the way forward then filling the floor space behind the seat with bags so I could put my legs a bit forward and not as bent

[@nightskylights4501]

You go girl! I have a 2.5 year old sedan, and I won't mess it up by removing the back seats. I always sleep with my legs bent a little, like semi fetal position anyway. So sleeping in the back seats will be fine for me. I'm going to try it for the first time this summer when going to the Oregon beaches. Because in warmer months they charge an arm and a leg for hotel rooms at the beach. My only issue would be where to go to bathroom. I will have to figure that one out first before going. Enjoy your travels!

[@reywrites]

Thanks for watching! For what it's worth, I've taken out and put back the back seats in this car several times. It doesn't cause damage. But you know your car best! Hope your trip to the Oregon coast is lovely!

I have skoda octavia, its A hatch back design sedan. Folding rear and putting cheap foam to even out makes bed for me at 5'10" . In cold weather its ok, but not in hot humind weather. I live in Northern India where Temp can easily reach 0 to -20 in winters and +40 in summers. From October to May its doable.

[@reywrites]

Thank you for sharing! Sounds like you built a great setup! That makes sense about the hot humid weather for sure, I have seen a lot of water condense in the car when it's too hot. Only works in some seasons and places within the US. Interesting to hear you are car camping in India also! Thanks.

Thank you for this. Keep seeing people telling me to put the rear seat down but I have a 2006 civic hybrid aswell …

Awesome! Yeah I love how non destructive this method is to the car. Hope it works out well!

[@herbiii8158]

That is too cool!!

[@reywrites]

Thanks so much!

[@WaterFor3st]

This gave me an idea. This is great. I was actually going to consider taking out the front passenger but I'm trying to hide that I'm sleeping in my car but I would definitely take out the bottom rear seats and put in a board and customize it a way like that. It's enough space for me since I already can decently stretch in the back. Just gotta consider the space it needs to slide back when I drive.

[@reywrites]

That sounds great! Thanks for sharing. I wonder if you could take out the rear seat cushions, and push the front passenger seat as far forward as it goes, then fill the space flat so you can lie down diagonally. It's tricky sleeping in a small car but I've done it. Good luck and best wishes!!

[@garysiu5498]

Thks sharing . Seems folding seat not 100% flat. Set a plywood and a memory foam, u feel much better and save your back in long run

[@reywrites]

Thanks for watching! It seems like a very small space to me to put a plywood or platform in, but I'd be interested to see if anyone else has done it!

[@DavidThomas-vj3eu]

What's really good is to get the black foam board to cut out for windows. Looks like tint.

[@reywrites]

Great idea, thanks!

[@nightskylights4501]

But wouldn't that be too hot in the warmer months?

[@donaldswanson9647]

I'm fully stretched out in the driver's seat of a camry hybrid without removing the seats but face down only. Face up there is a small hip and knee bend. I sleep a mix of curled up and stretched out, so it's perfect for me. Cant imagine anybody would want to do this next to me.

[@reywrites]

It's definitely a tight space. Okay for a road trip but I wouldn't do this long term with two people in this car! Thanks for watching!

[@jeffjohnson5139]

Very informative. An easier method would be to buy a piece of sturdy plywood and lay through the back windows. Then sleep on the plywood.

[@reywrites]

Thanks for watching! Interesting idea. I haven't tried this particular arrangement, but my gut feeling is the space between/inside the windows would be too small to comfortably sleep (and I am a small person). It would also leave the back windows open and unscreened. Some larger vehicles like cargo vans have space for great wooden bedframes.

I had a socket wrench with 6 inch extender part to help reach where the bolts are. There is a video by someone else on KZbin about removing the 2006 Honda Civic hybrid back seat that was helpful.

[@rebekahritchie9012]

What would you do if you needed to leave in an uncomfortable situation or confrontation quickly?

[@reywrites]

In this setup, I'd have to toss all the padding and blankets into the back seat, put the front seat back up, get in the driver seat and drive away. Often the window fogs when you sleep in the car so I keep a towel for swiping the window clear quickly. Sleeping just in the backseat is a lot less comfy, but it's what I used to do and I could get into the front seat and drive away pretty quick if needed.
