Backseat Mattresses

Most people have heard of trunk camping — folding your vehicle’s backseats down and making a comfy sleeping space in the trunk. But what if you’re simply looking to utilize the backseat bench

Whether you drive an SUV, a pickup truck, a sedan, or a van, backseat camping is a great option for getting comfy on the road.

We can design your mattress to your specific wants and needs. If you have an idea of how you want your mattress personalized (cooling memory foam, hinges or folds, specific mattress height), contact us below!

Why Our Vehicle Mattresses Stand Out

  • Unmatched Durability: Built from the finest materials, our mattresses endure the demands of travel while preserving comfort and shape.
  • Personalized Comfort: Tailor-made support helps eliminate restless nights, and our mattresses are designed with your personalized comfort in mind! They utilize different materials for your preferred firmness levels and include options like cooling memory foam. 
  • Folding Options: Specially designed with a fabric hinge that allows them to fold up and save cargo space when not in use — the perfect option for conserving room during traveling. Need versatility? This option is for you.
  • Custom Shapes: We offer custom-sized mattresses tailored to perfectly match the dimensions of your sleeping area. Whether you use a custom sleeping platform to expand on your bench seat, or simply have enough room just on the backseat itself, our mattresses are designed to fit seamlessly, maximizing comfort and space.

Every vehicle’s available interior space is different, and you should always measure your specific car before selecting or ordering a mattress.

How to Measure Your Backseat for a Mattress

To measure your backseat for a mattress, follow these simple steps: 

Step 1: Measure the length and width of the available space — including from the back of the rear seats to the back of the front seats, and from the surface where the mattress will rest to the roof of your vehicle. 

Step 3: Account for any cut-outs or size changes along the mattress. Mattress Insider can create notches, as well as cut in corners or curves in the mattress to account for these.

Step 4: Create a rough sketch of your mattress design, and add as much information as you think will be helpful! This includes the overall width, length, and height, and the location of any cut-outs, folds (hinges), or curves.

Step 5: Contact our mattress experts to help find the perfect mattress for you! We are able to create mattresses in almost any size using various materials (including foam, gel memory foam, and latex!).

FAQs

Q: What is the best mattress for the backseat of a car?

The best mattress for the backseat of your car is one that will fit all of your sleep needs and preferences, as well as your vehicle perfectly. Mattress Insider creates affordable, durable, and comfortable custom backseat mattresses that fit your exact vehicle model perfectly!

Q: Can a mattress fit in the back seat of my car?

Yes! The right custom backseat mattress will perfectly fit on the backseat of your vehicle, whether that be a sedan, SUV, pickup truck, or van. Mattress Insider specializes in creating affordable custom options for any vehicle.

Q: What size mattress will fit in a Chevy?

In terms of standard mattress sizes, the closest mattress that will fit on a backseat is, there isn’t a perfect option.

Because of this, it’s best to have a custom mattress made. Plus, with a custom mattress, you will have the option to add folds or hinges for easy storage and transport.

Q: How to make a mattress for your backseat?

You can build your own backseat mattress using materials you can find at a craft store. 

Acquire foam padding, or a foam mattress topper, and measure the backseat of your car. Then cut your foam to shape and use a spray adhesive to cover with a layer of fabric.

This solution can be inexpensive and quick, but it likely won’t last you long. Investing in a good mattress will ensure years of use without the hassle of frequently finding a new mattress.

Q: Would an air mattress work on a backseat?

While an air mattress can work, they fall short in many aspects. Air mattresses are notorious for their lack of durability, often succumbing to punctures and leaks. An affordable custom mattress designed to fit your exact vehicle is a much more reliable investment.

Q: Are there backseat mattress accessories?

From custom sized sheets and mattress protectors to pillows and cozy comforters, there are lots of options for car mattress accessories — when shopping in the right place. Standard box stores are unlikely to carry the right size you need, due to it being unique. Instead, opt to shop with a place that creates custom mattress accessories.

Q: Would a mattress fit on the backseat of my SUV?

Bench seat mattresses, or backseat mattresses, can be a great option. Keep in mind that the space is far more limited than folding down the backseats, so it’s likely that a single sleeper will fit.
