2. Elevate your bed to include storage space. There are some smart people out there creating storage space underneath their bed space by building a bed stand.

3. Don’t skimp on comfort. Choose a mattress that is durable and comfortable, nothing inflatable. If you want to get a good night’s sleep, better choose the comfier bed.
4. Insulate your windows to keep the cold out and the heat in. This can even be used during the summer months to keep your vehicle nice and cool. The other added benefit of insulating your vehicle is that your windows will be covered to keep the peepers out.
