Studio Sleeper: Couch vs Bed

A tape measure will tell you. Im pretty sure you can come up with a literal 3.00 measure from some place. Even big box home stores will sell those as a impulse item. Once you know how long and how wide you can pretty much estimate what you can and cannot get into it.

I would be interested to see you get that monster into the cab. Congrats on your purchasing. Remember that I have said from time to time a number of body length pillows something that is around 5 to 6 feet plus a bunch of mexican style blankets would give you a option to nest in winter cold as well as adding more plush to bad road. It's what we did so those matresses would not be too bad.

You are smart for one thing, putting a brand new matress in there for yourself. You literally eliminate any problems tossing the old one.

 

On my w9 I was able to get a standard twin size mattress to fit where my couch was. I pulled it out and built a deck for the mattress to sit on. The upper bunk was not working for me. Prior to the twin mattress I put a cheap mattress on the couch, but it seemed hot and I still could feel the separation in the couch cushions.

 

I'm interested in these too. I'd love a VNL780 but it's not a very affordable first truck. I hope to be buying my own and getting out of a company truck in a year or so. Can someone share what trucks are offered with a studio sleeper (meaning fold out couch and upper bunk, I think)????

I see some of the Kenworths do, not sure who else.

Thanks

 

I seen em in Volvo, Western Star, KW, and Pete.

But, even if you buy an older truck, like me, you can go get it retrofitted.

I had an Intl with a small stand up bunk and Eagle interior...front seats swiveled around, you can recline a little, put your feet up on the bed, I kinda liked that! Nice, short wheel base, light weight, well appointed...get over the fact it's a 13 letter #### spreader and your OK with it...Cummins motor...all good.

 

wow i gather its a couch that converts to a bedsitter? interesting well if you don't mind sitting in the back instead of on the drivers seat i guess it would be ok i don't really see the point in having a couch with 2 seats already in the truck however we all have different wants and needs so i suppose the manufacturer made them to suit. I'd just rather a sleeper bunk.

 

The sofa is nice , there's a fold down table in the right side cabinet to work on computer and paper work .
When the sofa is laid flat it's harder then hell , you'll need a mattress unless your used to sleeping on boards , so either get a mattress for the bottom bunk , then no sofa , or sleep in the top bunk

 

Sorry l know old post. After having company Columbia and Cascadia,.then a Cummins powered Volvo 770 l couldn't believe how little space the Studio Sleeper has in the side boxes. The Freightliner guys take for granted popping that bunk up on its hydraulic struts and having all that room. I can't even stand a coolant or gallon of oil bottle straight up. Anyway was searching for information on how to remove a cabinet in the 660 to put in an Apartment size refrigerator.
