Share Style Mat for Suzuki Jimny

Share Style has introduced a dedicated sleep mat for Suzuki Jimny and Jimny Sierra. The mat creates a nearly flat 184 cm surface by folding front seats and using headrests to fill gaps. Made of 50 mm thick PVC leather, it provides insulation and cushioning without extra pillows or air mattresses. Price: 19,800 yen.

DIY Beds and Other Solutions

Car owners are also sharing their own designs. One Instagram user built a custom flat bed for the rear area with integrated storage. Another DIY bed on the rear seat maximizes space and includes compartments for belongings.

Earlier, the CAR BED folding system and yado cozy mattress (3.5 cm thick) were launched, developed with a bedding manufacturer. The system eliminates seat unevenness and bed frame feel.
