Best way to deflate is open the valve as soon as you wake up. Cook your breakfast start the clean up process etc... by the time you get to the mattress it is 95% deflated.

[@scottmacdonald9269]

Thanks. This will be great for when I am in the field guiding for multiple days on the river. Glad I found your video.

[@4XPEDITION]

Glad it was helpful!

[@robertrhode6104]

Very nice and an easy way to step into car camping. Thanks for sharing Scott. Your friend in Pennsylvania. Bon

[@nickdibiase8754]

Awesome!! All I need is buy in from my wife and we are off and away!!! LOL Thanks for the great product review.

[@mcgreevs24]

Thanks so much for sharing this was just what I needed! Cheers!

[@4XPEDITION]

You bet Martin!

[@lukemoussa1298]

Nice find and review! Been looking for something like this that is fitted to the Outback. I'm going to purchase it!

[@4XPEDITION]

Good choice! Please use the link I provided in the description. Helps both of us.

[@larrywhiteside7578]

What a great set-up. I watched the video 2 days ago and immediately ordered one. I have a camping trip coming up in 3 weeks, and I'm looking forward to trying it out.

[@4XPEDITION]

Great, Larry! I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.

[@Shloopy420]

how' it work out?

[@larrywhiteside7578]

@@Shloopy420 It has worked out fine. I have used it twice and will use it again in February on a camping trip to Big Bend National Park.

[@deniseihler7963]

Thank you this is exactly what I need! Buying...

[@4XPEDITION]

Glad it was helpful!

[@broinsocali]

Might have to get one of those. Looks nice. Not that costly..

[@troutstalker4744]

Thanks. Just the thing im looking for. Hope its not too expensive.

[@4XPEDITION]

Use the link in the video description if you are interested. Helps us both out. Thx!

[@Fingerprintguy]

I found a custom made (wooden) bed box that fit the Outback. A gentleman built it for a cross Canada trip. I used it and it worked well but it reduced the headroom by 5 to 6 inches. Not to mention it's a beast to maneuver in and out and store. This would probably be a better solution but seriously.... no shipping to Canada? Spain, yes, Germany, yes, Canada, no? I think, at least for the meantime, I'll just go back to the simple solution that many have posted before and use assorted bins to fill the gap behind the front seats and pick up a quality air mattress from a local camp store. Thanks for the review but if Canadian's cannot get the product shipped then we will look for alternatives.

[@4XPEDITION]

Seriously? I don’t understand that. I’ll reach out to them and find out.

[@terrysullivan1992]

Nice system and only $ 224. Over 1800 different vehicles. Perfect gift for my daughter who just bought a Rav4 and loves to camp.

[@4XPEDITION]

Couldn't agree more! Please consider using the link I provided. Helps both of us.

[@vermili0n]

This is ma great idea, I’d just deflate half for myself and if I ever meet a girl who wants to share this spacious area with my for camping/road trips/festivals I can always inflate both... I prefer foam mattress though because I have no back seats and keep it in sleep mode the entire time

[@4XPEDITION]

Makes sense. If you get one, let me know how you like it.

[@stevec2665]

You said you could inflate both. Did you mean the bed and the girl? Sorry I couldn't resist. LOL

[@bassfamilyjourney6088]

Awesome video! And I need to know how do you sleep 4 ppl in your Subaru? We are getting ready to make a cross country trip in our Subaru and have been perplexed on how to make a sleeping arrangement in the front area of our Subaru for our 9 year old. Would love any advice you have!

[@4XPEDITION]

I sleep two in the back of the vehicle with the seats down and two on the roof in the rooftop tent! So, you'd have to get a tent for the roof.

[@dillondrums91]

Will it fit a 2012 outback?

[@briantodd4887]

This seems like a great option. Every inch matters when car camping. I like how the width is wider by the doors and narrowed to go around wheelwell. If you go with a traditional rectangular camping air mattress, you loose that space between the back doors and wheelwell. Can you please send me a link to the tire swing mount-hitch? Thank you

[@4XPEDITION]

Yes, I have two!

[@rmleider]

Any chance you could post the measured dimensions of the inflated extender cubes?

[@4XPEDITION]

Probably not anytime soon. They’re in my storage.

[@Pete02093]

great video and product. Just one thing, no R value, so not so good for cold weather

[@larrywhiteside7578]

But better than sleeping on the ground on a Thermarest in a tent, doncha think?

[@stacysheets8811]

Would like that for the tent. We have truck. Could the cube be used as a foot stool or a chair?

[@4XPEDITION]

Hey Stacy. That is a really good question. I cannot say if the cubes could be used as a chair but I think foot stool you could. And, the air mattress could work well for a tent as well. I probably could have said that in the video. Good point!

[@ShrimsList]

Looks really cool! But I'm also thinking that the air blocks waste a lot of potential storage space. Any opinions on good boxes / items to use in place of the air blocks to provide some support?

[@4XPEDITION]

I use clear plastic bins that fit perfectly on the floor. One holds dry goods and the other electronics. I think I show those in the Camping Basics video on my channel if I recall.

[@01010100001010101001]

6' tall person can sleep ? Is that max ?

[@ldavis4428]

With this system, if You are only using the mattress for a single sleeper, do the mattress dimensions allow you to flip up one of the rear seats?

[@4XPEDITION]

I believe so but not positive.

[@richardburguillos3118]

Nice review. Nice mattress. Noticed you removed the rear seat headrest. Was that needed or they were off already from previous outing? Think of it’s just two of us I would replace the cavity cubes with some kind of storage. Maybe remove headrest like you did and build a custom plywood storage area that flattens that area. Hmmm, maybe the manufacture might offer that option. Just seems like there’s a better way to fill that area than with air bags.

[@4XPEDITION]

Yes. I haven't had the rear head rests in the vehicle for some time now as I rarely have back seat passengers. If you watch this video > kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnqYpamhjb-iba8 you will see that I have plastic bins that sit perfectly on the rear floor on either side. One is my camp pantry and the other is my technology bin. They fit well and sometimes I will put the cubes only slightly filled over the top to level off the sleeping area if I am going to sleep in the back.

[@4XPEDITION]

And... by the way. I have an envelope sitting on my desk in front of me with your name on it. I sent you a message on Patreon that I need your address to send you a 4X sticker for your Patreon benefit. If you'd like it, you can get on Patreon and send me a private message with that information. Thanks for your support Richard!

[@markt8041]

Do you ever take naps in your Outback, say at a rest stop or some other spot on road trips? Second question, do you do anything to conceal yourself when sleeping in it?

[@4XPEDITION]

No, can’t say that I’ve done that. Usually I’m out in the wilderness and don’t have anything over the windows.

[@rmleider]

Have any tips for using this with some cargo in the back? I'm interesting in doing this on a road trip move.

[@4XPEDITION]

Unfortunately not unless you only are a single sleeper you can deflate half of it and fold it under and keep all of your gear on one side of the car and the bed on the other.

[@rmleider]

@@4XPEDITION how about putting cargo in plastic bins lined up and just putting the mattress on top?

[@4XPEDITION]

@@rmleider You could if the cargo bins are strong enough and.... thin enough. You don't want some space between your face and the ceiling. I can somewhat sit up in the Subi as is with the mattress.

[@vermili0n]

@@rmleider I sleep in my 97 legacy outback and this is what I do, 75% of the space is taken up by a foam mattress inside a sleeping bag and then I have a big plastic bin, a hard case thing for my clothes two blankets, a couple pillows, a Mylar lined grocery bag that I keep a gallon of water in and other things I want to keep not cold but not warm, I have tools behind my driver seat, a bathroom backpack on the tools and my main backpack can go anywhere. Very stealthy in the day and at night it’s al moved to the side and it’s very roomy and comfy... I love it, I just need to fix my car or get a newer one so I’m not so stressed and can also travel more

[@Catalonia]

Does the bump bother you? I.e. if the seats in my forester don't fold down completely flat, how will that affect things?

[@4XPEDITION]

That doesn't seem to be a problem in the Outback.

[@lawmauwa]

I know it fits up to 6'2", but can you close the tailgate and still sleep comfortably?

[@4XPEDITION]

yes. I would say so. But, I am only 5'8"

[@ginogina4589]

How would you heat the inside of the Outback when sleeping?

[@4XPEDITION]

Probably a Mr Heater or something like that. It is propane so you would need to keep a window open and you would need to make sure it stood somewhere you didn't have to worry about it catching fire. I'm not recommending this heater for you, but I am saying it is something I would consider for me. You have to make that decision for yourself. amzn.to/3F2lwwt

[@TravelBossNas]

Do you know if this will work for a new Subaru Ascent?

[@4XPEDITION]

I do not know but I am assuming so.

[@richarddebeer9081]

Are other models of SUV's considered such as an Acura RDX?

[@4XPEDITION]

I believe so

[@lcatalla7292]

Hi, I'm thinking of getting this for my 4tunner. How's the mattress holding up and do you think the price point justifies? Thank you!

[@4XPEDITION]

I would say it does justify just because of the fitting to your vehicle and the blocks that fill the floor area adding length unlike if you just used a air mattress.

[@tuxyboy7084]

Sleep system

[@4XPEDITION]

That it is.

[@xlin615]

Does it work with a Forester?

[@4XPEDITION]

I believe so... the FAQ on their site says: Our mattress is available in multiple size configurations to fit over 1,800 vehicle types. If you don’t see your vehicle listed in the make, model, and year dropdown, please click here for more information about vehicle compatibility.

[@MrHepcat34]

Are they truly worth the higher price? I have had air mattresses before & had them fail within a year.

[@4XPEDITION]

Probably not. They are nice, but there are other less expensive options.

[@OneKindWord]

Do they make a mattress system for the Toyota Matrix? I'm only 5'2" and the Matrix is plenty for me.

[@4XPEDITION]

I think they may. Here is the link. lunolife.com/?avad=264121_d1d77bd89 Just enter in your make and model to check.

[@terrysullivan1992]

Is that an aftermarket cover in the rear area and on the backs of the seats ?

[@4XPEDITION]

No sir. That is factory. Comes standard... or at least it did in 2017.

[@qntw2000]

Is it on an inclined angle?

[@4XPEDITION]

When you fold the Seats down there is a bit of an angle but I put blankets under the mattress down by the legs to level it up

[@ChaoticBean794]

No venting the vehicle overnight?

[@4XPEDITION]

Do you mean a window open? Not if it is cold.

[@ClevelandWheeler]

But a crazy price for an air matress.

[@4XPEDITION]

I have two!

[@ABSVabeautifulsunsetvlog]

Is the fact that it isn’t level an issue? I’ve seen people build platforms that level off sleep systems in their cars but is that really necessary for something like this?

[@4XPEDITION]

Hey there. It really hasn't been an issue for me. I stuff a few jackets under the legs area and it is level.

[@mosaicmuse9797]

very expensive system in Australia.....unfortunately.

[@4XPEDITION]

sorry to hear that.

[@nealervin4166]

Only up to 6ft? I guess I’m moving on to the next video

[@biorna]

Is the Luno life mattress made in China?

[@4XPEDITION]

That I do not know the answer to.

[@joannadorothy]

It doesn't make sense, this space people use to store lot of stuff. When you on the road you need some stuff, I am talking from my own experience. And believe me , no matteress is needed. This waking up on the morning to have fresh air bla, bla , bla ... you can have it without spending money on sleepoing system for god sake. That's what we do for years. Use your common sense people, do not fall into this amazing sleeping system. And no, 4 people can't sleep there ... maybe if yo uput them like sardines in the can.

[@lukemoussa1298]

Hi Jo-Anna! I'd love to see a video on your sleep system and maybe folks can learn from what you do. Your own experience is appreciated, yet still there are plenty of adventurers up there in age, or just generally looking for a more comfortable sleep system that is purpose built. To each their own I say. Thanks!

[@4XPEDITION]

Hi Jo-Anna. First, I didn't say 4 people could sleep in the back of the Subaru. I said I can sleep 4 people because I have a two-person roof-top tent on top of my Subaru. Two on the roof and two in the back. As an overland ready vehicle, I have equipped my storage in the back to accommodate the gear while sleeping on one side. You are mostly correct that the rear needs to be used to haul gear, however, if you plan right, and use a rooftop Yakima case to hold your gear, you have a sleepable space in the rear of the vehicle. As far as "no mattress needed" I would beg to differ and consider that to be a matter of personal preference. Thanks for commenting.
