OZK Customs + Scopema Altair 3P Tri-fold Bench Seat

When you need a van that can haul several more than two passengers, and also sleep several more than two passengers, it may be time to consider a bench seat/fold out bed. The fold-out bed is a longtime standby of camper vans for a good reason. A useful, multi-purpose component in a tiny space, fold-out sofas and bench seats give your passengers a place to sit in transit or when relaxing at your destination, and open up into often full size beds for overnight accommodations. The Altair 3P Trifold Bench Seat is a three-seat bench during the day – and you are getting more than a simple sofa with no DOT rated safety features. This bench seat offers integrated headrests, armrests, 3-point seatbelts for all three seats, and CRS point for car seats.

When you reach your overnight destination, the Scopema Altair three-person bench seat instantly transforms to a bed with a simple unlocking handle. The unique trifold design allows the curved faced of the seating cushion and backrest to turn in-ward, giving you a flat sleeping surface 47.2” wide and 6’ long. This thoughtful design gives your passengers comfort and safe travel seats during the day, and an equally comfortable bed at night. And if you need an in-between, the seat even partially opens to a ‘relax’ position, so you can prop your feet up and lay back to enjoy a relaxing afternoon at your campsite.

The Scopema Altair bench seat is designed to be compatible with both Sprinter and Transit vans, and comes in 129 and 150 cm widths. It is available in leatherette or charcoal fabric options, with a thick, cushioning foam, padded slipcover, and integrated 3D felt mattress pad for bonus comfort while sleeping. This seat is designed as an ideal addition to van conversions, especially for owners looking for easy ways to travel and overnight with multiple passengers.
