    Well, doesn't 163 out of (163 + 76) qualify as "most of the world", and couldn't you call the other 76 "places like the UK"?

    I mean, they're like the UK in one respect, anyway.

    I don't think you really need to get it flat. If you sleep with your head facing the front of the car - that slight lift will make it easier to breath if you sleep on your back. If you normally sleep on your side, you'll need an air mattress or you'll be sore in the morning.

    Lol been sleeping on the floor for the past 3 years now and I’m a side sleeper but I need like 4 layers of sleeping bags as floor cushion and two body pillows to reduce any sore points of bone to floor contact, sleep like a baby this way even though I have obstructive sleep apnea.

    I just got this for a 2014 Prius.

    1. It does not obstruct the battery cooling vent
    2. Wide enough for a fat man and skinny woman
    3. Folds in half and will transport behind back seats when seats are raised
    and not obstruct lower or upper rear window.

    Available at Amazon:

    Bedsure Foldable Human Dog Bed for People Adults, 2 in 1 Calming Human Size Giant Dog Bed

    What the world's nations most have in common with the UK is that at least every 7 days a nation in the word celebrates their birthday of being free from the UK's horrific colonial tyranny:

    "Of 225 the nations in the world, 163 celebrate independence. 65 of those countries secured their independence from the United Kingdom or some form of British military occupation according to Wikipedia (62, according to the Guinness Book of World Records). 48 of those have a national day of celebration. More countries were colonized by England than any other country in the world." http://www.bishopmike.com/2023/07/04/independence-from-england-is-the-most-celebrated-holiday-in-the-world/

    Yeah... The best Prius Camper bed hasn't been built yet... Basically, you need to make a mold that you can make a memory foam mattress out of that perfectly fits the contours of the fronts seats laid flat and some type of hand crank roll up design that replace the back seat.

    Probably not as easy in Gen3, But a decade ago I put a size "full" futon mattress in my gen2 Prius after taking back seat out and saw a path forward to turning the entire front inside of car into a huge flat sleeping space for two. I was excited about what I could do with that. But then I realized most of my lady friends that I'd be interested in sharing that with already have kids and I was better off with them having a functional back seat so their kids could ride with us? :)

    But if I knew someone younger than me who date people who don't have kids that need a ride...

    The problem is …when the Crown Leaves it leaves a hidden network of Banks, Insurance Companies, Judges, Franchises, Pumping Oil Wells and strife between between neighboring countries all sending Royalties back to the Royals.

    Yeah... I'm not saying we're done destroying the British Empire of long ago by any means... Quite the opposite, really. I mean there's 33K mostly women & children slaughtered in the world's largest open air prison camp in Gaza in past 6 months and millions starving to death as we discuss this all because the UK wanted to not give up on colonialism in Arab countries after WW2. It's sickening by every measure!
