I guess no one has tried the mattress, because it is not for sale (COVID disclaimer).

Has anyone tried it? I just laid down for a quick test and it seems manageable (I'm 5'11). Definitely might get uncomfortable not being able to stretch out for a full night though. Found this mattress which might help : https://www.stage3motorsports.com/P...ew-Pittman-Airbedz-Backseat-Air-Mattress.html

Curious if anyone has tried that mattress as well.
I'm six-foot three inches, and so I think that, in a pinch, I would rather try sleeping in the (truck) bed. With the bed mat already back there, and a blanket or quilt over the top, it would not be bad at all....

Guessing with the cost of any new truck y'all had a choice between a truck and a house. You made the right decision .
?
You can sleep in your truck, but you cannot drive your house to work!

I would get a bed rug and sleep back there. Those look really comfortable and would be better than trying to sleep all crunched up in the back seat.

Ive slept in the back seat at a rest stop on a quick trip to NC. I honestly didn't think it was that bad. Should have brought a pillow but a balled up jacket did the trick. I would do it again if I need to. Beats paying for a hotel!

I'm 5'11" and I have slept in the front seats of my old Toyota PU, fully reclined. Not comfortably, but I did it. In the back of the ranger? I doubt it.

I also had a bed tent in my Toyota and it was great. Not a RTT, but a bed tent. I loved it.

I like to take a power nap in my Ranger most days at work (I'm 6'). I recline the driver's seat all the way back and sling my right leg over the console into the passenger's foot space. It works well for a quick 10-15 minute nap.

I'm only 5'5" and would fit great with that mattress. Plus I spent a decade in the Navy so am trained at sleeping anywhere.
Ha. Aint that the truth? My dad, ex navy guy in wwII, could sleep anywhere. He said he could curl up next to the desal engines in his landing craft to take a nap.
