![]() If Oryx were to add bed length by raising the platform over the steering wheel and extending it all the way to the windshield, it would really take a bite out of the 18 inches (45.7 cm) of headroom that the company admits isn't exactly a whole lot. That's just over the average US adult male height of 5 feet 9 in (175 cm) and will be quite cozy for most men, requiring some to contort or hang their head off the end of the bed a little bit. ![]() The bed stretches clean from the rear window to the dashboard to achieve 5 feet 10 inches (178 cm) of length to go along with enough width for two friendly campers. The Oryx bed is about as far from glamping luxury as you can get and space is at a premium. Not to be confused with Germany's Oryx Solutions, a broader vehicle-camping gear company that offers in-vehicle Wrangler camper solutions of its own (for the Unlimited), Oryx Platform was founded on the idea that you can sleep inside a two-door. Oryx Platform has its own idea of how a two-door Wrangler can become a proper tiny sleeper RV. ![]() The only other camper system we can recall being advertised as compatible with the two-door Wrangler is the Egoe Nestbox. Even pop-up sleeper roofs like the Ursa Minor J30 and Hatchet are built for the Unlimited, not the two-door. But the same small wheelbase that makes it an excellent off-roader means less interior space and not enough room for most in-vehicle camping solutions.Īlmost all the Jeep camper solutions we've covered over the years - from the Austrian-designed chassis-mount Action Camper, to the body-extending American Safari JXL, to the RoverKing topper - are designed for either the four-door Wrangler Unlimited or the Gladiator pickup, which is only offered as a four-door. The two-door Wrangler remains the crown jewel of the Jeep lineup for hardcore off-road enthusiasts and Jeep traditionalists. And it costs well less than a hardshell rooftop tent. Its sleeper platform hangs off the Wrangler's roll cage and turns the 4x4 into a tiny but cozy bunk-room for driver and passenger. Colorado company Oryx Platform solves that problem in the simplest, most direct way possible. EXPLORE COMFORTABLY.The classic two-door Jeep Wrangler remains one of the most capable, nimble off-road vehicles on the planet, but it's not generally comfortable for overnighters in the wild. We are proud to bring you 'deepsleep' for Jeeps. So we decided to make one. Our product was funded by the Jeeping community on Kickstarter.and here we are! We tried alternative methods, but couldn't quite find a comfortable way to Jeep-sleep. We liked the concept of sleeping in the vehicle, but we found there were no air mattresses available for jeeps then. We basically had a big mattress taco, and kept rolling into each other due to excess "mattress bunch" with our regular air mattress. While shopping for a new tent we thought, "we just spent good money on a Jeep, why not just sleep in it? The seats fold down- there's plenty of space! No problem.we'll just throw our air mattress back there. We enjoyed day-trip adventures, and off-road weekend camping. One night we burned a hole in our camping tent (embarrassing story). Our Journey to creating "deepsleep" began in early 2016 when we purchased our first Jeep.
