I have a design for a number of devices about entry into the tail section, one of which is adapted to a single bed. It requires a tailwheel lifter to acquire a horizontal state though. I am planning
To revise another bar which could be used to lift the tailwheel securely for that purpose. The head would then be forward between the ‘headrests’ and one could then roll slightly to relieve the usual ennui.
I added a prelim sketch to the Fuselage Album in my Gallery corner. When I go in headfirst, I crank up the tailwheel to level the ‘bed’ before entering – I can’t afford the excess blood wasted in my noggin otherwise…..

That was sort of along the lines I was thinking about, but mine is a trike, so no leveler will be needed

Craig,
You may wish to place a support under the tail, so that it doesn't crash down when you climb into the rear section! I seem to remember the crew of the old DC4 placing such a support before loading or unloading cargo, to avoid such embarrassment.
A general point for tri-gear owners is to make sure that both occupants do not step on the rear of the wing walkway at the same time. I witnessed this happen last year, and there was damage to the mainwheel spats (pants) that appeared superficial but had interfered with one of the brake fittings.
The message is: always watch your weight and balance!

Good point Mike, But the destructions J for fitting the spats (pants) stipulates putting the tail on the ground to simulate a very high nose angle, then fitting spats (pants) with a small additional clearance, But point Taken,

I meant in as far as sleeping with ones legs through the D panel and your
head over the seats, Obviously if i were to get in the back
behind the main gear and weighed more than say your bags, then yes you would
be in trouble. I was more referring to the fact
that the trike sits more or less level on the ground, where as the mono sits
tail down.
