I have never slept on the street, but I imagine it wouldn’t be nearly as comfortable as the Le-Trottoir makes it look. The Le-Trottoir is a bedsheet that looks strikingly like pavement, and for a good reason.
The Le-Trottoir has all the bells and whistles of regular pavement: blocks of concrete complete with random metal covers and moss. The best thing about the Le-Trottoir bed sheet is that a portion of every purchase will go to the Dutch Homeless Youngsters Foundation. Activism and sleeping are a definite win.
