A sleeper berth restraint for commercial vehicles. The sleeper berth restraint includes a webbed harness having a first section and a second section. Each section includes a plurality of vertical straps secured to a plurality of horizontal straps so as to form a grid configuration. The first and second sections are removably secured to one another by means of mating fasteners thereon. The upper and lower ends of the vertical straps include fasteners thereon for securement to the upper and lower rails at the opening or entry of a sleeper berth. Further, the sides of the sections include fasteners for securement to the interior walls of the vehicle. The webbed harness is enclosed between a pair of curtains secured thereon. Thus, the sleeper berth restraint helps to prevent a resting driver from being thrown from the sleeper berth in the event of an accident.
