Thanks Bryan! I enjoy product reviews like this. Keep 'em coming! I have a similar mattress from Exped. It easily fits in the frunk. It's perfect for a couple but IMO it's too much work to deflate and roll up for just one. So now I'm going with a _high quality_ one-person air mattress (Nemo Quasar) and a small rechargeable pump. It's fast and easy to inflate and deflate. It packs down to the size of a 1 liter bottle. It's comfortable enough, especially with a thin foam pad underneath it. For me, this is the sweet spot.
Nice 👍🏻 I tend to keep mine setup for at least a few days at a time as I'm usually out camping for anywhere from 2-14 days at a time so it hasn't been too bad for putting it away although I do wish it was a bit more compact to store. As soon as I get back from trips I tend to transition the car back into a car and so being able to easily remove the camping gear is important. How's the comfort on the Nemo? I'm a side sleeper & always got terrible sleep with the TESMAT which I previously had and even after adding additional layers it still wasn't comfortable enough. This is the first one I feel like it's sleeping in a regular bed.
@@bryanhauer It's good for an air mattress even for side sleepers, especially with a thin pad underneath, but it's still an air mattress. You won't think it's a real mattress. The different use cases are key. For a multi-night (3+) stay in one place then the more luxurious mattress is worth the extra effort. But for one or two nights I prefer the convenience and space savings of the air mattress.
I’ve been using this mattress and LOVE it. 5” quality firm foam, then tap it with a moment of more air and it is PERFECT. You don’t bottom out. I agree it is very hard to ever get it back into the frunk. If you have two people it is possible, if one sits on it and the other straps it. Then I can get it back into the sub trunk. (afrer initially strapped the two of you have to tighten the roll on each side, and then tighten the strap every attempt, repeating multiple times). However, most of the time, I just do what you do, and leave it in the back. Also, I can leave my IceCo cooler on the mattress because there are no feet that can puncture through the comforter. Perfect for my iPad viewing before sleep. Some times I pack my back area with the seats down, and camping gear, then lay the semi inflated mattress on top, and it covers my stuff but I can still see we’ll, out the back, plus if people look inside, they don’t see all my gear. When I get to the camp site, I leave my air packed clothes under the hip, to feet area, and that levels me out. Just an idea, if you don’t pack clothes in just your luggage. I use small carry on for shoes, helmet, cooking gear in my luggage on the front passenger floor area. Lots of tricks, play with it and see how it works. Up north here, if not camping for a month or two, having the mattress in my condo is perfect for unexpected guests that are too long for the couch. Thanks Bryan, great video.
Yep, it's been great! I was surprised at how comfortable it actually is. Glad you're enjoying it too. Nice tips too. Still hopeful a manufacturer will build one that's slightly sloped in the future. For rolling it up, I just bought some ratchet straps from Home Depot so going to try to use two and tighten it up a bit more. The straps that came with it are hard to get around without help like you said so these are bigger and can just ratchet it a bit. Appreciate the comment 😀
I’ve seen this mattress reviewed recently and it looks like it’s the best one available for comfort and at a fair price. Probably feels like a real bed and the firmness can be adjusted with a puff of air. Nice. You might see if there’s some ratchet straps out there that could squeeze it a little smaller. But it wouldn’t be worth damaging the mattress either, so I don’t know. Nice quality video as always. Where ya going next?
Thanks 🙏 Yep extremely comfortable & like you said easy to adjust firmness. Ratchets straps are a good idea. Heading up to the New England area to catch the fall colors 😀
Really helpful review as I was thinking about buying this. I wouldn’t want them to make the upper half of the mattress thinner, then my shoulders would hit the bottom side sleeping. I rather have them make the lower part thicker or add a blow up insert to the bottom to level it out.
After using the TESMAT for two years, I’m ready for a new mattress. I’m also a side sleeper and the TESMAT has really bothered me this Summer. This looks like a great option for next Summer’s trips. I have one final road trip home to FL (from TX) in two weeks and I’m considering staying in hotels instead of car camping with the TESMAT. Lol
I don't blame you! My hips always woke up sore with the TESMAT even with multiple layers around it. That's why I couldn't recommend it in my video. I slept on this thing for a couple weeks on my last trip and actually got some solid rest. Besides how stiff it is when rolling it up, it's the best one I've used and has worked tremendously well for me.
Thank you! I now recommend the EXPED MegaMat Auto which I did a review of here which is similar, but a bit more comfortable as well as compacts into a much smaller footprint for storage (even fits in the frunk): ua-cam.com/video/l_6iRUs0UEo/v-deo.htmlsi=7vb1DsH6irI0a-Mc It too isn't always available outside the US. You can occasionally find it available from the EXPED Amazon store for worldwide shipping, but it's hit or miss. Odd too as EXPED world headquarters are in Zurich, Switzerland. Thanks for watching!
Does it stay up all night? How thick is it when blown up? Cost? Looks really good at first glance. We used a 6 inch thick memory foam fold up mattress that we got from Jerry a couple three years ago. This looks like it will take up a lot less room.
It will stay full for weeks. It literally feels like a regular home mattress, but rolls away nicely when not in use and yes, it takes up much less room that that 6 inch fold up version. This model is 5 inches thick when full. It cost $325 and you can save $10 if you use code BHSIM at checkout.
Great review as always. Does the mattress change your approach to stealth camping, your prior set-up always had you ready to sleep without any noticeable preparation. I assume you now must plan what your next sleep venue will be and set-up prior to arriving there if its a stealth stop.
Thanks Manny! I think I always tried to get the bed ready prior to getting somewhere especially if I was stealth camping, but either way it should only take a few minutes. One things I learned early on is to always do that before dark. I usually would just stop at a random parking lot for a few minutes and setup before heading to my final destination and sleeping for the night. Appreciate you watching 👍🏻
I think if you used a vaccum packing travel bag that’ll work. Just slide it in the ag as best as you can and then use any domestic vaccum to suck the air out. Should work
There's no air left in the mattress. The material is a thick/rigid material that won't allow for a tight roll unfortunately. Mattress is very comfortable, but not a great option if you want a small portable option.
Jerry said they’ll be back in stock and shipping next month. Definitely super comfortable, but agree on it being a bit bulky. It’s worth it for me, but do wish it stored away a bit easier.
I haven't seen anything about the new one. Is it any thicker? The one on their site looks the same. One I used originally was way too thin on its own unfortunately.
When I go on their website it say new and updated. The mattress looks thicker and more shaped to the car, instead of a big square. And the cover-box is white on the top now.
Nice but it’s similar to the exped which is proven quality. The Y shaped one is hard to find and similar priced. Bummer it doesn’t fit back in subtrunk. Thought about a piece of ply wood that would help keep your head area from sagging in the gap? Great review.
Yep both are great! It’s very comfortable, but did wish it rolled up a bit easier. I don’t notice any sagging with my head so have t needed anything as the weight on the rest seems to keep it pretty firm. Appreciate you watching 😀
Hi, How does this compare to the lost horizon version? Looks very similar including a pump with built in flashlight. I’m trying to decide which to get myself.
I now use the EXPED MegaMat Auto. I've tried a lot of camping mattresses for the Model Y now and it's by far the best as it has the best comfort, build quality as well as it's easy to store is small spaces like the sub-trunk or even frunk.. Here's a review I did a while back: ua-cam.com/video/l_6iRUs0UEo/v-deo.htmlsi=6-tISMaugZg5LPmb
Unfortunately it doesn't matter. Tried every way. There's literally zero air left. It's the material used that is a bit thicker/rigid so it simply doesn't fold or roll as tight as one would hope. The tradeoff is because of the material used, it's a bit more comfortable, but as a result doesn't roll up great.
when do you get to the east cost?? I got a Tesla model y and have some camping items but would def want to exchange ideas with you before hitting the road.
I was there in the fall and visited TN, GA, SC & NC. It was a great time! I did a few videos from there. Feel free to ask any questions and I'll do my best to help. I go into a lot of stuff in most of my camping videos. If you head to my channel homepage you'll see a section for Camping.
Hi! Is the half mattress the "megaMat 10"? Would be nice if they have the same mattress for the Telsa just cut in half, including the wider part on top for one side
Correct. Only consideration is the length as the MegaMat 10 comes in 72" and 77". The MegaMat Auto is around 76" long so guess that part just depends on your height. I too wish they would just make a MegaMat Auto Single version as having the cutout of the car provides a bit more room and it should be interchangeable between which side you want so you could flip it to be on the other side. I plan to talk to them soon so will bring that to their attention.
@@bryanhauer Hi Bryan, thanks for answering! That's awesome that you have a chance to talk to them. I think the "half" version could be a really good marked for them. Like you mentioned in your video, you could store a box, jackery or other stuff next to it. I don't know the exact size on the Tesla seats but it would be awesome if you only have to flip down one seat, that would give you so much more options for a lot of things. E.g. the fridge could be behind the seat and still accessible at all the time. Or you could use the one back seat to get in the car when it rains and not getting your bed dirty. So many more options. But like I said, don't know if that would even work with the seats. I am pretty excited to get my Tesla Model Y. Should get it in the next 6 weeks :)
@@traderjoe477 Nice. Congrats! Yes it would work on the left driver side as the seat is double sized and the right passener side back seat is a single so you could just lower the left side and use it there and keep the right seat up. If you watch this video of mine you'll see I had a similar setup using one side previously, but kept both sides down. It was still a nice setup. ua-cam.com/video/FbSUx3peaGk/v-deo.html
@@bryanhauer Again thank you for your answer Bryan! I actually just started to watch all your videos. Haven't seen the linked one yet. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Have always a save ride and a wonderful rest of your week :)
If you lie on top of it after you have rolled it up, connect the pump again. With your bodyweight and the pump working together it will take out enough air so that it will fit in the subtrunk
Appreciate the suggestion, but that doesn't make any difference. There's zero air inside. I've tried plenty of ways off camera, on a living room floor doing exactly as you described. There's no air inside. It's the type of material they use which has two results... it's extremely comfortable as a bed because of the material used, but it also doesn't roll up easily due to that. The manufacturer has openly admitted this.
@@waino100 That's good. I"m surprised cause I couldn't get it even close. ForMyTesla even started selling it in a larger horizontal bag because of this as so many people were having the same issue. That obviously doesn't help with getting it into the sub-trunk, but made it easier to roll up and it into the bag. I could barely get the straps attached. I'm 6ft, 190lbs.
Have you tried keeping the valves open when you're folding/rolling it back up? That way you can keep squeezing out more air. Then once rolled up you can close them. That's what I've done with air matresses in the past. Nevertheless thank you, I'll probably buy this now.
Yes I have. I've opened all of them, rolled it up as tight as humanly possible inside the house on the living room floor, laying on it and had others try. I've tried everything anyone could possibly do. It's made of a more rigid material that simply doesn't roll up tight. The people selling them even contacted me to say they started selling them in larger bags to accommodate for this so I no longer use it or recommend it. I now use the EXPED which is just as comfortable, but rolls up small enough to fit in even the frunk. I have a comparison review coming up soon in the next couple weeks.
I will try! Probably wouldn't do another whole video, but might do an update through the Community Tab on my channel and/or on Twitter/Instagram. I'll try to alert you if I'm able to in this thread. 😀
I tried that and it didn’t matter. There was zero air left inside and tried it a few more times in my living room. I now use the EXPED MegaMat Auto which is just as comfortable, but rolls up small enough to fit inside even the frunk. Mattress for Model Y: alnk.to/aLF4bo4
OOPS! Didn't finish watching it. It is a great mattress, yet I AGREE; with the latest REAR SEAT Model Y cushion; someone has to come up with an easy solution to the "slope"?!?!?!
All good 😀 Yep, hopefully someone does. It doesn't need a ton of cushion at the top as there's not much weight up there so hoping someone builds one that tapers as it goes towards the top.
I even used it in my house on the floor of my den when I had guests. Actually comfortable! I agree though about repacking it into the bag- the deflation pump they must use at the factory is probably a lot more powerful than the one we get! : ]
Great question! I didn't actually. I wasn't sure who that was so looked him up and see John's a pretty successful Canadian UA-camr who does that in his videos too. I actually got it from the late 1980's cult classic movie 'Heathers' starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater. He says it to her in the movie. That was one of my sisters favorite movies growing up so it's kind of a hello to her when I say it 😀 An old friend named Roderick used to always say it to me too when I would meet him out for drinks back in the day as well. Now I want to know where John got it from. Haha
The Tescamp isn't even in the same ballpark as this one or the best mattress on the market which is the EXPED MegaMat Auto. The comfort of 4 inches of memory foam with air pockets along with premium materials is unmatched with the EXPED mattresses.
It seems rather good but the fact that it doesnt quite fit in the trunk and that its not making a flat bed makes it less great, if its custom made for model Y you'd think it would fit better on both these..
Yep. Very comfortable, but does lack in its ability to roll up small enough as mentioned. I've since updated and now use the EXPED MegaMat Auto which is just as comfortable, but does roll up tight enough to fit in not only the sub-trunk, but the frunk as well. I have a review I will be posting of it in the next couple weeks and have also updated any links including this video that direct people to it instead.
Yes. For sure 👍 If you check the description link you’ll see I now use the EXPED version which is just as comfortable, but rolls up to fit in even the frunk. Super comfortable!
Yep 👍🏻 While the space is small, the mattress itself is great for two people as it's memory foam with small pockets of air so if you move, your partner doesn't move around like it would on an air mattress. The EXPED version linked to in the description of the video is an upgrade to the one in this video and stores away to even small enough to easily fit in the frunk.
ok Tesla time to update the Model Y with VTL (Vehicle to Load) so that we do not need to bring an external power source when we have 74KWH battery on the bottom of the floor, that is what I'l miss on my Hyundai Ioniq 5 when I sell it for a Model Y! I know that the last time I checked Monroe Live review of the Model Y teardown the inverter had bi-directional ICC's
Thanks although I think it would fall off, but it’s not the air left inside as there wasn’t any, it’s more the stiffness that makes it a bit difficult to roll tight. Still the best mattress I’ve used, but just wish it was a bit easier to stow away. Appreciate you watching & for the suggestion 😀
@@bryanhauer Memory foam works by becoming soft enough to mould around a person or body shape. This happens when the high-density, low-resilience polyurethane foam reacts to body heat. You might try rolling it up on a warm day compared to a cold day or even bring it indoors. I still think memory foam hast to have air within it. Otherwise that’s it expands it would create a vacuum - no I don’t think so. What do you think now ? Are you willing to try it in a warm house or out in the sun?
@@BrooklineElectric You should be able to click the 3 little dots next to your comment to edit. As for the mattress... it was about 80º when I filmed this and have tried it in the house too. It's not bad so I don't mind how it rolls up now, but just wanted everyone to know it might be a bit stiff so may not fit in the sub-trunk. Hopefully it loosens up a bit with use too. Appreciate the comment.
I would think if you left the two upper ports opened as you rolled it up, that would help in pushing more air out as you roll it up. Great video though!
It is. Doesn’t feel like an air mattress. More like a regular mattress. I do have a comparison review coming up between it and the Exped version if you’re interested. Should be out within a couple weeks.
I typically park in a way where the front of the car is slightly lower evening it out or if camping will use parking blocks to do this. One suggestion I had in the video for companies that make mattresses is to make the top part thinner so it evens things out as it hits the slight slope. Hopefully more do that going forward. I've been able to pretty much eliminate the problem through strategic parking, but I hear ya. Another option is to use thick workout mats or some type of padding on the lower half to even it out.
@@bryanhauer haha funny enough I've used workout mats for this, and yes I am surprised no one has created a tapered mattress to conveniently deal with this issue, hopefully someone will step up!

Don’t mind a slight slope, but would like it just a bit less. Hasn’t bothered me too much though.

@@bryanhauer Hi Bryan, thanks for answering! That's awesome that you have a chance to talk to them. I think the "half" version could be a really good marked for them. Like you mentioned in your video, you could store a box, jackery or other stuff next to it. I don't know the exact size on the Tesla seats but it would be awesome if you only have to flip down one seat, that would give you so much more options for a lot of things. E.g. the fridge could be behind the seat and still accessible at all the time. Or you could use the one back seat to get in the car when it rains and not getting your bed dirty. So many more options. But like I said, don't know if that would even work with the seats. I am pretty excited to get my Tesla Model Y. Should get it in the next 6 weeks :)
@@traderjoe477 Nice. Congrats! Yes it would work on the left driver side as the seat is double sized and the right passener side back seat is a single so you could just lower the left side and use it there and keep the right seat up. If you watch this video of mine you'll see I had a similar setup using one side previously, but kept both sides down. It was still a nice setup. ua-cam.com/video/FbSUx3peaGk/v-deo.html
@@bryanhauer Again thank you for your answer Bryan! I actually just started to watch all your videos. Haven't seen the linked one yet. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Have always a save ride and a wonderful rest of your week :)
@@traderjoe477 You're very welcome! Glad you're enjoying them and hopefully they continue to provide value to you. I really appreciate you watching 😀
If you lie on top of it after you have rolled it up, connect the pump again. With your bodyweight and the pump working together it will take out enough air so that it will fit in the subtrunk
Appreciate the suggestion, but that doesn't make any difference. There's zero air inside. I've tried plenty of ways off camera, on a living room floor doing exactly as you described. There's no air inside. It's the type of material they use which has two results... it's extremely comfortable as a bed because of the material used, but it also doesn't roll up easily due to that. The manufacturer has openly admitted this.
It works for me, but I am a heavy guy so mabye when I lie on top of it I squeeze it just enough to fit the subtrunk🙂
@@waino100 That's good. I"m surprised cause I couldn't get it even close. ForMyTesla even started selling it in a larger horizontal bag because of this as so many people were having the same issue. That obviously doesn't help with getting it into the sub-trunk, but made it easier to roll up and it into the bag. I could barely get the straps attached. I'm 6ft, 190lbs.
I weigh a bit more than that🙈. This is one of the rare occasions it has paid of to be a hamburger addict😄
Have you tried keeping the valves open when you're folding/rolling it back up? That way you can keep squeezing out more air. Then once rolled up you can close them. That's what I've done with air matresses in the past.
Nevertheless thank you, I'll probably buy this now.
Yes I have. I've opened all of them, rolled it up as tight as humanly possible inside the house on the living room floor, laying on it and had others try. I've tried everything anyone could possibly do. It's made of a more rigid material that simply doesn't roll up tight. The people selling them even contacted me to say they started selling them in larger bags to accommodate for this so I no longer use it or recommend it. I now use the EXPED which is just as comfortable, but rolls up small enough to fit in even the frunk. I have a comparison review coming up soon in the next couple weeks.
@@bryanhauer Oh wow, can you link to which size?
@@TheBearsEmoji This is the one I recommend. Only one size: Mattress for Model Y: alnk.to/aLF4bo4
Ohhhh I had clicked that link from the description so thought that was the “old” recommendation
I got mine thru bearded tesla guy and love everything about it...
Nice 👍 I’ve been loving it too.
Anyway you could find a friend with a model 3 and do a review of this mattress in that? Super curious how it’ll work. 😊
I will try! Probably wouldn't do another whole video, but might do an update through the Community Tab on my channel and/or on Twitter/Instagram. I'll try to alert you if I'm able to in this thread. 😀
@@bryanhauer awesome! That would be greatly appreciated. Just picked up my model 3 last weekend and I’ve been binging all your videos. 😀
@@Xenthera Hey I appreciate that 😀
Maybe you can keep the pump on pulling the air out while you roll it up
I tried that and it didn’t matter. There was zero air left inside and tried it a few more times in my living room. I now use the EXPED MegaMat Auto which is just as comfortable, but rolls up small enough to fit inside even the frunk. Mattress for Model Y: alnk.to/aLF4bo4
Wish these were available in Australia
Hopefully soon.
OOPS! Didn't finish watching it. It is a great mattress, yet I AGREE; with the latest REAR SEAT Model Y cushion; someone has to come up with an easy solution to the "slope"?!?!?!
All good 😀 Yep, hopefully someone does. It doesn't need a ton of cushion at the top as there's not much weight up there so hoping someone builds one that tapers as it goes towards the top.
I noticed it deflates a lot faster if you keep three of the four flaps completely closed and use the pump on one of them.
Thanks 👍🏻
Thank you for recommending this mattress. It's awesome.
I even used it in my house on the floor of my den when I had guests. Actually comfortable! I agree though about repacking it into the bag- the deflation pump they must use at the factory is probably a lot more powerful than the one we get! : ]
Just out of curriosity, did you get your "greetings and salutations" from John Campea? Just wondering because I love his show.
Great question! I didn't actually. I wasn't sure who that was so looked him up and see John's a pretty successful Canadian UA-camr who does that in his videos too. I actually got it from the late 1980's cult classic movie 'Heathers' starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater. He says it to her in the movie. That was one of my sisters favorite movies growing up so it's kind of a hello to her when I say it 😀 An old friend named Roderick used to always say it to me too when I would meet him out for drinks back in the day as well. Now I want to know where John got it from. Haha
Here's a clip 😀 ua-cam.com/video/2LkFNZauk90/v-deo.html
Better than the Tescamp??
The Tescamp isn't even in the same ballpark as this one or the best mattress on the market which is the EXPED MegaMat Auto. The comfort of 4 inches of memory foam with air pockets along with premium materials is unmatched with the EXPED mattresses.
It seems rather good but the fact that it doesnt quite fit in the trunk and that its not making a flat bed makes it less great, if its custom made for model Y you'd think it would fit better on both these..
Yep. Very comfortable, but does lack in its ability to roll up small enough as mentioned. I've since updated and now use the EXPED MegaMat Auto which is just as comfortable, but does roll up tight enough to fit in not only the sub-trunk, but the frunk as well. I have a review I will be posting of it in the next couple weeks and have also updated any links including this video that direct people to it instead.
@@bryanhauer Cool! Will be waiting for the review!
Would a couple not to big fit?
Yes. For sure 👍 If you check the description link you’ll see I now use the EXPED version which is just as comfortable, but rolls up to fit in even the frunk. Super comfortable!
Is it good for two adults sleeping side by side?
Yep 👍🏻 While the space is small, the mattress itself is great for two people as it's memory foam with small pockets of air so if you move, your partner doesn't move around like it would on an air mattress. The EXPED version linked to in the description of the video is an upgrade to the one in this video and stores away to even small enough to easily fit in the frunk.
Seems to be more comfortable than the Tescamp mattress
For sure. Only issue is putting it away. It doesn't roll up tight, but is very comfortable.
Do you ship to Denmark?
ForMyTesla does, but I know it's expensive. I'd try reaching out to them directly to find out exactly how much it would cost.
ok Tesla time to update the Model Y with VTL (Vehicle to Load) so that we do not need to bring an external power source when we have 74KWH battery on the bottom of the floor, that is what I'l miss on my Hyundai Ioniq 5 when I sell it for a Model Y! I know that the last time I checked Monroe Live review of the Model Y teardown the inverter had bi-directional ICC's
That would be a welcome addition 👍
Try running the vacuum pump while you roll it up.
Thanks although I think it would fall off, but it’s not the air left inside as there wasn’t any, it’s more the stiffness that makes it a bit difficult to roll tight. Still the best mattress I’ve used, but just wish it was a bit easier to stow away. Appreciate you watching & for the suggestion 😀
@@bryanhauer Memory foam works by becoming soft enough to mould around a person or body shape. This happens when the high-density, low-resilience polyurethane foam reacts to body heat.
You might try rolling it up on a warm day compared to a cold day or even bring it indoors. I still think memory foam hast to have air within it. Otherwise that’s it expands it would create a vacuum - no I don’t think so.
What do you think now ? Are you willing to try it in a warm house or out in the sun?
I guess I cannot edit my typos
@@BrooklineElectric You should be able to click the 3 little dots next to your comment to edit. As for the mattress... it was about 80º when I filmed this and have tried it in the house too. It's not bad so I don't mind how it rolls up now, but just wanted everyone to know it might be a bit stiff so may not fit in the sub-trunk. Hopefully it loosens up a bit with use too. Appreciate the comment.
I would think if you left the two upper ports opened as you rolled it up, that would help in pushing more air out as you roll it up. Great video though!
Is it really flat like a bed?
It is. Doesn’t feel like an air mattress. More like a regular mattress. I do have a comparison review coming up between it and the Exped version if you’re interested. Should be out within a couple weeks.
I don't know how y'all can sleep on an incline, it bothers the crap out of me and all I do is toss and turn all night.
I typically park in a way where the front of the car is slightly lower evening it out or if camping will use parking blocks to do this. One suggestion I had in the video for companies that make mattresses is to make the top part thinner so it evens things out as it hits the slight slope. Hopefully more do that going forward. I've been able to pretty much eliminate the problem through strategic parking, but I hear ya. Another option is to use thick workout mats or some type of padding on the lower half to even it out.
@@bryanhauer haha funny enough I've used workout mats for this, and yes I am surprised no one has created a tapered mattress to conveniently deal with this issue, hopefully someone will step up!
