I Hate Sleeping in a Tent. So I Turned My Car Into a Cozy Camping Haven.
This air mattress has six inflatable chambers that allow it to fit into a wider range of cars, including sedan back seats. It includes a car-compatible air pump, along with two inflatable pillows and a piece that fills the backseat footwells.
The first thing you need to transform your car into a comfy cocoon is an air mattress specifically intended for use in sedan backseats and SUV cargo areas.
The Saygogo SUV Air Mattress, which I’ve used intermittently over the last three years, offers a great value for casual campers. It has six separate inflatable chambers that you can fill (or leave empty) as needed to fit your space. This makes it compatible with most SUVs and sedans and lets you personalize your setup in a way that makes most sense for you.
The Saygogo air mattress includes a separate inflatable piece designed to fill the gap created by your car’s backseat footwells, so you can lay comfortably without the mattress caving into that empty space. Also included is an air pump with a 9 V car adapter that can be used to inflate and deflate the mattress.
Fully inflated, the mattress has a max weight limit of 380 pounds and can comfortably sleep two adults. It loses a bit of air overnight, especially when two people use it, so you have to top it off if you plan to use it a second night—though I find myself deflating and folding up the mattress in the mornings anyway so I can use my car to get around during the day. The Saygogo air mattress also comes with two inflatable pillows, but I tend to bring a regular pillow, along with sheets, blankets, and my sleeping bag for especially cold nights.
