Look what I found :) search air bed R1S on Amazon. The deminsions are wrong on the listing and it fits perfectly. Slept on it and it's great.

I'm going to try this out. Researching mattresses for a trip to the eastern sierras!

If you haven't committed to anything yet I would add any of the Hest brand beds to your consideration.

Definitely one of the best options on the market today.
I'd say it beats out an exped Megamat 15 in terms of comfort, and that is some high praise!

That is high praise indeed. I bought the exped megamat duo 10, it is super comfortable and I couldn't be happier with the money I spent.

We stoped by REI today and picked up the Exped MegaMat Duo 10 Sleeping Pad in size Medium, and it fits perfectly! We bought the Exped Widget Pump also, and it inflates the mattress in a couple of minutes. The Widget Pump also has USB-A and USB-C ports and a small light. It's a 3600mAh battery which would recharge an iPhone about 2 times.

We tried the camp mode leveling feature in our driveway, and it's a perfect setup! The mattress is super comfortable. The pictures are a little dark since we took them at night.

I've been an ExPed fan for a while. I tried the ExPed MegaMat Duo 10, and though it is fantastic, the ExPed MegaMat Auto is pretty much the same with approx. 10 extra inches of shoulder room - and is a perfect fit! And - bonus - ExPed also sells a cool compact pump/lantern/phone backup battery charger.

I got one of these as well. Seems like good material , love the “single/dual setup” for if I want to do a solo mission, and it feels the space nicely .

I wish it there was an adapter that fit better for the onboard air to pump the mattress up. May have the make something

Is this the same length as the Exped duo 10? I did buy that one and like it but would like the extra shoulder room too.

The DUO 10 M is 72" long, the Megamat Auto is 76". I bought it for the 10" extra shoulder room and can say it made a big difference with two sleepers.

Damn that looks nearly purpose built for the R1S.

I have the DUO 10 M already but just ordered the Auto the extra shoulder room will hopefully make it easier for 2 to sleep.

UPDATE: Couple of upgrades I forgot to mention:

1. 1-2" memory foam topper on top of the Expedition makes it truly a luxury experience.

2. Finding a sheet/cover for the Megamat Auto was not easy, but the one offered by Luno Life fits fairly well, especially with the 2" memory foam topper. It acts to hold the topper and mattress together too.

For stowage (2-passenger setup), I just keep the 2nd and third row seats folded down, and just fold the entire mattress in half up right behind the front seats, like a taco. When arriving at camp, just empty the cargo and unfold the mattress - done!
