Deepsleep inflatable memory foam mattress - Review [pics and video]

[SROC3]

nice write up man! :0. Always wondered how it would be on a long term review for most folks. I was always annoyed that the Bronco doors have no frame to place a mesh net - but youre right, you can just "crack" the windows depending on how much cold you want entering the cabin at ngiht. Good to know its comfortable inside even during freezing temps as this was my main worry. I was thinking of a roof top tent but this not only cheaper, but also good for security purposes. haha! thanks again for the great review!

We love ours! The only real con is the pack up time in my opinion. Phenomenal product! Very warm!

I like my Deepsleep setup in my 4 door. I wasn’t thrilled about the sleep “system” price when I still had to figure out solutions for the footwell to support your head. I found a fairly inexpensive solution but at this price I shouldn’t have to. Also not thrilled with inflating and deflating. It’s not something I can hook up and do other things while it inflates/deflates. I guess that’s “Overland tax” for you. At the end of the day it’s comfortable and I needed a sleep solution for a trip and Deepsleep got it to me quickly so I kept it.

If you buy the brown version of this product you don't even have to paint it, IMO. Additionally, the newer versions of this are glued together a lot better and require less "retouch". Home Depot no longer stocks these but you can order them for free ship to store. My local Lowes has them in stock, and there is of course always Amazon.

I wouldn't drive with these in place but they take 10s to put up. You may need to crawl into the back through the tailgate though, because it is best to be outside when closing the door with these in place

If you have money to burn you can try this

IMO it is poorly designed. The grid on the windows is way, way, way too coarse to keep many bugs out. You will need to be gluing a noseeum mesh on these openings. I would buy them in a heartbeat for $50, but not for $190.

Ford's decision to make the doors frameless solved a problem for a small minority of users who actually take their doors off and want to store them in the vehicle and created a serious problem for a much larger population.

The full DeepSleep solution is plush and comfy but bulky and takes away too much headroom in the sleeping area if you are 6 ft or over. It is also a hassle to store during the day when you don't need it.

I only purchased their leveling mats and then run a cheapish self inflatable sleeping mat from Amazon on top of it. Those are only 1.5-2 inches thick and it is easy to fold them over in two to free up the cargo area during the day, then unfold in the evening.

i only use one side, so my solution may not work for all and you’re right it’s kind of a pain rolling up the main mattress on multi day trips.

my solution. I just fold it over when I wake up and push the majority of the air out. Then cap it. I let the mostly deflated mattress float on top of my other stuff for the day. Doesn’t take much room at that point.

clean it and roll it up properly when I get home.

for me that works, as I love the extra depth, cush and r-value of the Deep Sleep.

I used this same stuff from Home Depot, painted it black (wasted effort as it scratches easily and who cares what it looks like while sleeping) and I wrapped edges with a cloth harness tape to avoid scratching my truck. Cost me about $5 and works perfectly in rear windows.

I have the same @deepsleep Overland single mattress and unfortunately mine slowly deflates through the night.

It happened the last several nights I was camping with it and I planned to reach out, but haven't got around to it yet. I will reach out to support now. Thanks for the follow up.

If you release a topper that is about as thick as the leveling mat you will definitely get my money. No need to make it conform the the extra space around the doors, as it will not be thick enough to support the weight of a body. All I need it is 24+ inches in the shoulder area and 20+ in the foot area. If you decide to do something like this I suggest you make each a out 1/2 inch narrow in the foot area. Some of us run MOLLE panels down there.

I have these and used them on 3 camping trips. We really like them. 1 if the trips we used them in our tent instead of Bronco. They inflate well and deflate easily. They are pricey but I like mine.

I've had mine for about a year, using both in my Bronco and tent camping in subzero temps. They work well to provide insulation and are super comfortable. One thing I can't stand about them is they really couldn't have gone any cheaper on the storage bags. There is absolutely no extra room so putting them away is a real pain. Further, the material of bag are very poor quality and have already torn although I'm very careful. For that price, it's almost an insult.

Thanks for posting this. Been looking at this system since I first saw it in you post about camping in the Alabama Hills. Looking at it for solo hunting trips and think it will be perfect.

Keep in mind that a gap fill solution is NOT included in the DeepSleep system, you will need to provide your own

I’m only 5’8 so I doubt it’s a problem for me lol. If so I’ll find something to fill the gap. Thanks for the warning though!
