Default Sleeping in ur jk

What kind of sleeping setups does everyone have?
We tried an air mattress with not much comfort, I am thinking foam cut to shape with a stanly knife...
Any thoughts?

I'm old and found sleeping in the back can be done I used my swag and filled the gap between the folded rear seat and the tray with a rug. All good.

We've got an old 6" foam mattress cut to shape. I lay a bag of clothes in the seat gap. Two of us have used this for up to 2 weeks at a time.

Sounds like i should call into bigw or somewhere and pickup a foam mattress, a few inches thick should do it. Hopefully an off cut should be big enough to fill the gap.

Cheers

i considered making things to fill in the gaps, a thick matress does work.

In the end i made this which allows a swag to be rolled out and i feel i have lost very little space. it can be put in by 1 person and can be used in multiple configurations as shown.
