Who wouldn’t want to stretch out in the bed of their truck camping some day, just by throwing a sleeping bag and pillow out on an air mattress? They now make special vehicle air mattresses that fit various truck beds, and they take into consideration the wheel wells so you make the most of the space. Otherwise, you just end up with a narrow mattress in between the wheel wells – not ideal, but it also does work.

Some details:
-Designed to fit around and over the wheel wells of your pick-up creating a sleep area that utilizes the entire truck bed, providing more room and comfort for outdoor enthusiasts
-Plug into your 12V cigarette lighter and the integrated pump inflates and deflates the mattress at the flip of a switch.
-Use the pump to blow up other inflatables you take camping: towable, beach toys, and floats
-Comfort Fabric top for a soft feel and to keep linens from sliding
-Pairs with our inflatable wheel well inserts (sold separately) for home use

Knowing there had to be a better way, we set out to design and manufacture a mattress that offers a better night’s sleep.

An integrated air coil system evenly distributes weight across a 12-inch thick mattress providing you with a better night’s sleep. Best of all the included pump plugs into your vehicle’s 12V DC port (cigarette lighter) to inflate and deflate the mattress with the flip of a switch. It’s convenience and comfort in one reliable package.”
