One bed. More ways to enjoy your van.
Slide out.
Sleep in.
From €749
Slide is the Simple Vans modular sliding bed for small and medium vans: modules that combine into seating by day and a bed up to 140 cm wide by night. It is the bed in every Simple TINY and Simple CLASSIC kit, from the VW Caddy and Citroën Berlingo to the VW Transporter and Renault Trafic.
Seating by day. A bed by night.
Slide is our range of pull-out comb beds. Each version uses a combination of three modules: a 110 cm slide-out section, a 70 cm slide-out section, and a 40 cm fixed bench section. Slide is the latest generation of our modular sliding bed, which won a European Product Design Award in 2026.
Pushed in, the Slide Compact Bench and Standard Bench beds create an L-shaped seat. Slide Standard can be set up as an L-shaped bench or one long, straight seat. Coffee by the open back doors, or a book and a cup of tea in the corner while the rain does its thing.
Pull Slide out and the bed opens from 110 to 140 cm wide and up to 187 cm long, depending on your van and layout.
Pull out the slide-out sections, move the mattress across – done.
At 33.5 cm high, Slide sits lower than our previous beds, so there’s more space to sit up in a medium van.
Pick your layout. Slide does the rest.
You choose your layout, not a set of modules: each Simple Vans kit comes with its Slide layout built in. Slide comes in three layouts. Every layout is Adaptable, one version for every van: the base sits in front of your van’s wheel arches, the top sits above them, and the bed slides out into the middle of the cabin. In many vans, Slide goes in with no cuts at all. In others, one or two panels need a short cut with a jigsaw: just follow the scribed lines.
| Layout | Bed length | Built from | Kits | Vans | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 150 cm bed with fixed bench (Slide Compact Bench) | 150 cm, 157 cm with the extension | 110 cm section + 40 cm bench | Weekender | Compact L1 vans: VW Caddy, Renault Kangoo, Citroën Berlingo, Peugeot Partner, plus Adaptable | €749 |
| 180 cm bed with fixed bench (Slide Standard Bench) | 180 cm, 187 cm with the extension | two 70 cm sections + 40 cm bench | Weekender XL, Cruiser | Compact long-wheelbase vans (L2: Berlingo XL, Partner Long, Caddy Maxi, Kangoo L2 and others) and medium L1 vans | €799 |
| 180 cm bed (Slide Standard) | 180 cm, 187 cm with the extension | 110 cm section + 70 cm section | Trekker, Minimalist, Drifter, Voyager, Legend | Compact L2 vans, medium L1 and L2 vans: VW Transporter T5/T6, Renault Trafic 3, Peugeot Expert / Citroën Jumpy 3 | €749 |
In a small van, choose between storage or a wider bed. The Weekender and Weekender XL kits combine Slide Bench beds with a slim side cabinet for extra storage. For compact L2 vans, the Trekker kit has a 130 cm bed, more free floor space and a kitchen that extends out of the back doors.
How wide is the bed? Slide opens up to 140 cm wide in a medium van with nothing beside it. In our kits, it’s 110 cm in the Weekender and Weekender XL, beside their slim side cabinet; 130 cm in the Trekker, and in a VW T5/T6 or Trafic 3 beside a side table unit; and 120 cm in an Expert / Jumpy 3.
On a scale where building your own furniture from scratch is 10.

Everything you need, out of sight by day.
Discreet side storage: lift the side panel along the van wall and in most vans there’s a narrow compartment running the full length of the bed. It’s out of sight and out of the way, the place for the things you’d rather not leave on show: a laptop, documents or other valuables. In compact L2 vans like the Berlingo XL, the space runs along the van wall and narrows towards the back. To reach it, you can fit the side panel supplied with the bed, along the front bed section: it may need a small cut.
The space under Slide is open storage as standard, reached from the side and the back doors: room for bags, bedding and kit that has to disappear before you can sit down. When you want it organised, the Gliss drawers and the Slide Kitchen are made to fit under Slide:
A bench with a hidden extra: in layouts with one (the Weekender, Weekender XL and Cruiser), the fixed section takes a Eurobox-sized dry camping toilet, and a cooler in a ventilated compartment. Lift the lids on top, or reach in through the end door from outside, with the side door open.
The Gliss Rear drawer and the Slide Kitchen both pull out from under the rear section, so you fit one or the other. It takes the place of that section’s side drawer: the Gliss 70 drawer on Slide Standard and Slide Standard Bench, the Gliss 110 drawer on Slide Compact Bench. You can add them later. If you use under-bed drawers, you can’t use the quick-release fixing kit.

The one that comes with your kit. Each Simple Vans kit has its Slide layout built in, so you choose your van and kit, not the modules. If you buy Slide on its own, the Van Selector shows which layout fits your van.
Yes. Slide is sold as a bed on its own from €749, or as part of every Simple TINY and Simple CLASSIC kit. You can add Gliss drawers and a mattress when you order, or later.
The 7 cm extension is included with every Slide bed, and helps make the system work with the widest range of van sizes. It takes the 150 cm bed from 150 to 157 cm, and the 180 cm beds from 180 to 187 cm.
We have a wide variety of mattress sizes to fit most beds and kits. Choose the mattress offered on your kit or bed page. Simple Vans mattresses come in one colour, heather grey.
Yes. Each Slide section can be set up on either side of the van, so the bed goes on whichever side suits your sliding door, in a left- or right-hand-drive van. There’s no separate right-hand-drive version to order. The Slide Kitchen, which fits under the bed, is designed for left-hand-drive vans only. We deliver to 26 European countries, not the UK or Ireland.
No. Gliss drawers are made for Slide and don’t fit those beds. For a B4, B120 or B130, the side, rear and outdoor kitchen drawers made for those beds stay on sale until the end of April 2027. Not sure which drawer fits your bed? Send us your bed reference through our contact page.

How does Slide work?
Pull it out, you’re in bed.
The slide-out sections pull out from the side of the units, and the slats interlock like the teeth of a comb to make one flat base for your mattress. Slide is CNC-cut from poplar plywood and held together with Simple Slots joinery, so it stays solid on the road without a frame of metal brackets.
