We use an old double bed frame with a foam rubber mattress. The frame 
itself breaks down to headboard, footboard, metal side rails and 
slats. We use a folding sheet of 1/2" plywood instead of a box 
spring. Try the local Salvation Army (or similar) store for a cheap, 
used bed frame.

We drive a Chevy Astro van, and the mattress goes on top of all the 
other gear so someone can sleep comfortably in the back on long trips.
