Modular, Stowable and Easy to Store
Adjustable legs and the platform’s unique shape let you choose between extra headroom or more storage space underneath. Its form is designed to fit most SUVs and can be easily adjusted to your needs.
Custom adjustable legs allow a height range of 24–38 cm from the base. The minimal design keeps things simple. Every element is easy to use, multi-functional, and free of unnecessary complexity.
Side straps provide added stability and keep the platform secure when stored. When not in use, Grotto Base can be stored compactly even behind a door.
Base Adjustable Support Leg
Our upgraded extendable legs make setup fast and effortless.
- The knob-bolt system lets you lock each leg in place without tools, and the redesigned fitment pieces significantly boost overall stability.
- Measurement markings on the telescoping section allow you to match leg heights accurately and easily record your preferred setup positions.
Enhanced Stability With Integrated Anchor Straps
For added rigidity, the platform includes heavy-duty straps that secure directly to your vehicle’s anchor points.
These straps eliminate sway and ensure a firm, reliable sleeping surface.
Once tightened, the platform stays locked in position and won’t shift while you’re sleeping or moving around.
Ultra-Slim Storage, Zero Bulk
When folded, the Grotto Base becomes an incredibly compact 1200 × 640 × 110 mm, making storage effortless in any home. Its slim profile is designed to fit in tight spaces, even neatly behind a door.
No need for bulky garage shelves or large storage areas. Whether you're between trips or resetting your setup, the platform stays out of the way without taking over your space. Perfect for apartment living, small garages, or anyone who values smart, minimal storage.
The short answer is no.
But, we are on the work for designing and developing our own self-inflating mattress! At this stage, you can check out the blog post Which mattress do we use? for what we do and recommend.
