The RIB Bed is a versatile seat-bed system that is a versatile and popular choice for campervan conversions and RV conversions. Made from high-quality materials, it functions as a seat during the day and easily converts into a comfortable bed at night, providing a variety of seating and sleeping solutions. A key factor in choosing the right RIB bed is understanding its dimensions. The length and width of a RIB Bed can vary by model and configuration. Below, we’ve broken down the standard lengths and widths of RIB beds to help you make an informed decision.

RIB Bed Length

Varies by model and design, especially when considering features such as a high backrest.

• 186 cm (74 in): This is the standard length for models such as the RIB Altair 3P seat/bed, balancing compactness and comfort for average-height users and smaller campers.

• 194cm (78in): The RIB Altair 3P seat/bed features a high backrest to accommodate taller people (up to 6'4"), adding extra support and enhanced lounging comfort. However, this height requires a bit more extra space

• 6'1" (185cm): The RIB Scopema Altair 2 Belt model offers this length, which provides an ergonomic seat while still providing ample sleeping space.

RIB Bed Widths

RIB beds are available in 2- and 3-seat configurations, with widths designed to accommodate both daily use and overnight stays.

2-seat RIB Beds

• 104cm (41in): This width is ideal for compact campervans and is only good for the user.

• 112cm (44in): This is the most popular RIB bed width, combining interior space with the comfort of a seat-bed, sleeping two adults.

• 120cm (47in): This width is a wider seat-bed design, providing ample shoulder room.

3-seater RIB bed

•129 cm (51 in): A versatile width for large campervans that can accommodate three passengers during travel.

•150 cm (59 in): This is the widest option, perfect for families or those who prioritize sleeping comfort.

A RIB bed maximizes functionality in a limited space. If you use the seats more often, choose a narrower width (104-112 cm). For a better night's sleep, prioritize 120 cm (2-seater) or 150 cm (3-seater). Of course, it all depends on the space inside your campervan or RV, balancing size, comfort and vehicle compatibility to create a successful travel experience.
