Like the 鈥淭ransformers,鈥� the Hele Box Sleeping Platform is more than meets the eye.

The iconic toys and cartoons of the 1980s turned from cool vehicles into sentient super heroes. The Hele Box emerges from its well-made storage bag as a simple pile of quality metal and wood, and with help of the included Allen wrench transforms into a platform for sleeping with easy-to-follow instructions. With minor modifications it will fit in the back of most any SUV.

I reached out to Murray White and his team in Colorado after seeing an advertisement for the sleeping platform and within a day a demo Hele Box arrived at my door in Albuquerque for review courtesy of the company. 

I quickly unboxed it like a child opening the biggest gift in the pile and uncovered the entire kit nestled in its storage bag, which doubles as a storage bin that fits perfectly between the legs of the frame.

The assembly was simple 鈥� so simple in fact that I did it myself 鈥� and the instructions seemed to have been written by a human rather than a bot.

Within minutes, I had it together, unlike my Ikea hours-long of assembling, disassembling and cursing.

I carried it out and placed it in the back of a 2016 Nissan Xterra but the tailgate didn鈥檛 quite close. I watched a quick video that showed me how to adjust the frame to fit with just a few turns of the Allen wrench and a bit of tugging. Hele Outdoors also offers a shortening kit for the Subaru Crosstrek and other mini-SUVs.

The sturdy wooden planks that form the bed jingled like a wind chime as I wrestled putting it together. Each adjustment I made showed me how multipurpose and configurable the frame could truly be as a three-in-one sleep platform, table and storage area. Each leg is adjustable to level your sleeping area no matter how many crooks and crannies exist after folding down the back seats.

After initial assembly it was simple to move the frame to my larger Ford Explorer after I adjusted the longer front legs to fit, leveled the platform between front and back seats and snapped the wooden end slats into place. The finish touch was to cover it with a pad, sleeping bags and pillows, and fill the area under the bed with the storage bag, snacks and snow chains.

At 6-foot, 2-inches, I easily fit into a kind of cozy, level sleep tube with the ceiling about a foot above my head. That does mean I can鈥檛 sit up, though. A disadvantage of using a platform versus lying flat on the back of the folded-down back seats.

I have built frames out of plywood and two-by-fours in the past to bridge the gap between front and back seats, but this provided a much sturdier platform for sleep.

The Hele Box transforms into a table attached to the back of your SUV, so you don鈥檛 have to pack an aluminum roll-out one when dispersed camping in a place without a picnic table.

By removing a section and using the shorter legs on either end, I believe you could create a bridge in larger vehicles to create a sleeping platform across the front seats for a smaller person. There is a two-person that stretches from window-to-window.

There are many sleep platforms being touted on social media, but the transformative nature of the Hele Box makes it the perfect choice if you want to create an easily removable sleep system while supporting a company of people who actually camp in the Southwest and say its donates 3% of profits to nature conservation efforts.

A Hele Box single currently is retailing for $399. Hele Outdoors also sells a pad if you don鈥檛 already have one that is comfortable, but it works with the and seemed comfortable with my 10-year-old REI mat.
