I’m 23 stone and brought ÅKREHAMN Foam mattress, firm/white from ikea during the end of second trimester. I suffered with severe PGP, sciatica and chronic back pain. It’s expensive but found it relieved so much pressure and I was getting a better sleep. We used it as a topper to our mattress for extra comfort and it was stunning. This is in the UK so not sure where you’re from.
Depends on your needs. They are the best sellers but Åkrehamn is foam and slightly warmer. Also good if you wish to raise your bed at any kind of angle. Ånneland has springs and a better airflow so it is slightly cooler. My wife works in the bedroom dept at IKEA and says you should go and try them. We have two separate Ånneland singles due to our different size/weight. The heavier you are, the firmer the mattress.
The first mattress I used was my daughter's twin size mattress from her bunk bed, which was $130 at IKEA. This was in 2019, long before companies were making mattresses specificallty for Tesla vehicles. I was more than happy with this mattress and had no complaints. However, it did not collapse for storage. You simply put the mattress in the car and put all you stuff on top of it. You can see this in my YouTube video here: [https://youtu.be/-5kYRlMR4Xs?si=VmSkCz5duh-kKEJ\_&t=41](https://youtu.be/-5kYRlMR4Xs?si=VmSkCz5duh-kKEJ_&t=41) Tips for camping in freezing cold temperatures: Use an electric blanket for your feet as the air circulation doesn't make it to the back of the cabin. If you are at an RV Campground, you can charge the car while sleeping (using the 50 Amp service and the mobile adapter) and plug the electric blanket into the 15 amp plug. Use a flat extension cord if possible and pass it through the back hatch. I would also recommend a urinal bottle. Get the proper one at a drug store or Amazon. Having to exit the car in freezing temps to relieve yourself is no fun. Use a floor matt and place it outside the rear door so that you can take your shoes on and off without stepping in dirt/snow/mud. Place your shoes on the floor, under the mattress. It is quite the ordeal to take your shoes off and climb into the back, so I would highly recommend you practice this in the comfort of your driveway before you need to do it for real. Camp mode does not lock the doors, so use your phone app to do this. You need 21% SOC to be able to enable camp mode, so don't arrive at midnight with 5% SOC. Next I tried a blow up mattress. These suck. The mattress I would recommend is the Havnby. I found this to be very comfortable and easy to setup up and break down. I can describe it here, but it is best if you simply watch my review of the mattress on my YouTube channel where I go into great detail: [https://youtu.be/Jsn8ldvVYtA?si=Ahfnns0AAhfT52x3](https://youtu.be/Jsn8ldvVYtA?si=Ahfnns0AAhfT52x3)
