I purchased the Hideaway 30” Single for my 2011 RAV4.
I participate in various gravel bike races and sometimes camp onsite. I want to be able to sleep comfortably in my SUV and originally intended to build a DIY wooden platform.
Then after seeing the Hideaway and the ability to quickly assemble/disassemble the unit was the decision game changer for me. It’s light and can be adjusted very quickly to have it positioned correctly in vehicle.

I used it for the first time this past weekend and it was a breeze to setup and with my Exped Megat on top I had surprisingly comfortable good night’s sleep on it.

I highly recommend this setup and totally worth the cost in my opinion.

It fits perfectly in our Ineos Grenadier, with lots of room underneath for our front runner wolf boxes. Well made and easy to setup…

I suffered last year when sleeping. I went looking for something to sleep on that was comfortable. I found this magamat. It is exactly what I was looking for. It is made of sturdy material. I can easily adjust the firmness. It comes with two different pumps. I can hardly wait to get out camping again.

We’ve been incredibly impressed with the Hideaway sleeping platform so far. One of the biggest standouts is how easy it is to set up and remove from the truck when needed. It feels thoughtfully designed for people who actually use their vehicles for adventure and daily life, not just for a showroom build.

The adjustability has also been a huge plus. Being able to customize the platform height to fit different gear underneath makes the setup far more functional for real-world trips. Whether we’re packing recovery gear, storage boxes, or camping equipment, it’s easy to configure the space in a way that works for us.

Overall, the Hideaway feels like gear that was built with longevity in mind. It’s functional, durable, and clearly designed for years of use. Supporting domestic manufacturing and local production is also something that matters to us, and it’s great to see a company prioritizing quality craftsmanship close to home.

I am 75 years. Still love to travel & camp on my own.. I bought this because it is well made & LIGHT enough for me to move in & out of my Forester, by myself.
I value my Independence ! This set up is perfect.
I often need to pull over & nap for a awhile when driving distance. Or even in town. Getting older is no picnic!
This gives me a much needed sense of security.
( the front seat doesnt always cut it.)
Lightweight. SOLIDLY MADE.
Worth every penny!
Thank You , for this beautiul car bed, from an old lady , still trying...

I have been looking for a sleeping system for my Ineos Grenadier for a while. I am a keen hiker and wanted to be able to drive to the trailhead the night before, set up quickly a comfortable bed, rest and then hike at sunrise without the need to pitching a tent or getting an expensive hotel room.
The Sidekick 24" Sleeping Platform does this and more. I am solo and sleep on my side and so the 24" Sidekick is perfect, it also allows me to just fold down the 60 section of my 60/40 reach bench seat.
The Step Floor leg kit works a treat as my rear bench does not fold down flush with the floor.
I read some other reviews and also added the Exped MegaMat and so glad I did.
It's more comfortable than the bed in my house even with me being a side sleeper.
And when I am not using the sleeping platform, rather than fully remove, I just collapse the length and turn it sideways, and it acts as a great storage platform behind my rear bench doubling my floor space.
Could not be happier and Reed was super nice and responsive to the emails I sent asking him various questions.

Finally got out to put my single platform into use. The design is outstanding; the flexibility to adjust the length and the height for both use in the SUV and in the tent is unmatched. I am impressed with the quality of the build; lightweight but strong poles; quality connections and fittings and easy but sure snap-in pins.

This is a great product, very well made and solid!

I bought this for camping in my 2013 Toyota Tacoma with a shell. This is perfect for my setup: Not only is it a quick and easy bed with storage underneath, but I can also pack it up and store it when I am not using it for camping. Love it.

Accompanying the exped sleeping bag and mattress I bought at REI, this exped pillow tire it all together with comfort and style. I really appreciate the thoughtful deep green color, high quality craftsmanship, materials and size. It's perfect! Very happy, thanks!

Thanks for making this purchase great! Reed was responsive and detailed. Also, thanks for the quick delivery!

I had asked someone from the company on the IG page and they were helpful in trouble shooting something and recommended me the stubby legs for when I need more head space in my honda. I have the legs that extend up and the chubby legs as well and I couldn’t be happier as I have more options now.

I could talk about the sleeping platform for a while, like how easy setup and adjustments are, but what I appreciated above all else was the hand written “thank you” note. I bought the platform in a rush, and admittedly didn’t look into the company all that much. Knowing it’s operated by two people that care enough about their clientele to write something by hand made me feel not only smart about my purchase, but just really dang good. It was EXTREMELY refreshing to feel a drop of humanity in commerce again. On the spec side, I purchased the XL 48” and it took no more than 5 minutes to set up without needing instructions. The sliding rails make it extremely compact when not in use, and the platform topper rolls up very easily. Even being the largest size offered, it can fit in a roof topper amazingly. My skis and climbing gear can fit with it (18cu ft THULE for reference) with at least 5cu ft left. The legs come with extremely grippy feet that prevent slippage even at speeds of 50+ mph around corners and interstate ramps. Finally, the adjustable legs can be fitted rapidly and offer a ton of different heights. Definitely a product worth buying.

I purchased the Sidekick to replace the cot I had been using in my minivan. The adjustable legs make it very stable, and the adjustable length allows me to have easy access when I need to use the second row seating. The Sidekick has greatly improved the quality of my sleep when camping. The customer service is the best I've ever experienced. All of my questions and concerns were answered quickly and with patience. This is the best purchase I've made since starting my adventures with van camping!

I took the hideaway single 30” in my 2012 Rav4 for a 3 night camping trip in Death Valley for my first trip, and it did not disappoint. Even in a small/mid-sized suv, I was able to extend the sleeping platform to its full 72” (with both front seats pushed and leaned forward as far as they will go). It took maybe 30 minutes to assemble at home the first time. I choose to leave it assembled in my trunk, and it fits sideways perfectly, allowing me to have the back seat up and not dissemble the platform every time. I would note in a backseat like mine where there is a 2/3 and 1/3 split, I have to put down the entire backseat to extend the sleeping platform. Perhaps the sidekick 24” would fit on the 2/3 side of the car, but I wanted the extra width for comfort.
Complementary gear: my REI campwell sleeping pad fits on it perfectly (and at 2.5 inches that’s as thin as I would go on a sleeping pad or you risk feeling the cross bars). My kelty car-go-box juuuust fits under the tallest part of the platform at its tallest height. I use generic under-bed clear storage containers under the shorter sections. I was able pack well under and around the platform without obstructing my view out the back, and I was able to climb into bed without unpacking anything. That’s car camping goals.
The only issue I have had so far is the blue plastic pieces coming out from between the length bars. They are very difficult to put back, and they have fallen out of more than one place.
Overall, I am so so happy with this purchase. I cannot wait to go on my next solo adventure. I shopped around on sleeping platforms, and I felt this one was the best value. The piece is solid (I am not a small gal, and it felt very stable throughout the night) and yet still light.
