How Do You Sleep When Off-Roading?

[astroflashjones]

Looking for some input from those of you who have traded their factory RTT mattress for an aftermarket one.

Most of what I’ve read from others is that the Exped MegaMat is the mattress to get. What other options has anyone tried? I’m looking at a memory foam option like the Better Habitat CertiPUR mattress that I could roll out on top of the existing

There are also cheaper air mattress options than the MegaMat. Has anyone tried those? The Vaneventi double self-inflating camping mattress on Amazon looks decent and is considerably cheaper. I had another person recommend the Stoic Double Cloud air mattress.

I have the first version of the CVT MT. Hood and the mattress that comes with it isn’t up to snuff. Further, it’s the single rail version, so storing sleeping gear in the tent isn’t an option.

I would appreciate some input.

You read correct. As some one that has had a lot of back pain, the megamat is worth it. When it comes to camping gear, there is usually a reason something is significantly cheaper. Sometimes its ok but as far as a mattress goes, I think you usually get what you pay for. If you can swing it, I highly recommend the megamat.

This seems to be the consensus. Thx.

I am set up for a tent! Just need to find the right one, I love the idea of the slimmer hard tops to go over my smart cap etc. only issue is I am 6’4”. And worry I won’t fit in some of them. Any suggestions?

haha my life would be so much easier if I could sleep that way believe me! I have to stay in hotels a lot for work and some of those beds can be tiny.
