I've got the cot size LOSTHORIZON mattress. I also have a rectangular MegaMat Duo. The similar sized LOSTHORIZON is significantly less expensive but it does not compress as much. The difference in cost is commensurate with the difference in comprehensibility.Wondering if anyone has used this product in their Model Y for camping, it's a self-inflating air mattress: link
My family of 2 adults + 1 infant is going car camping and since it might be chilly at night we'll use the car camp mode. I'm debating whether to get the double size (52" width) vs 2 cots size (25" each), but not sure which one will fit inside the car better since the Model Y has a narrow taper towards the trunk (rear wheel well). Any suggestions?
The alternative is to get a mattress specifically cut out for the model Y, but our future plan is to sleep mostly in the tents and not in the car, so wouldn't want something that's single purpose.
The compressed MegaMat Duo can fit in the frunk with room for other bedding but I prefer to put food in the frunk and keep the bedding in the back so there is less shuffling around.
The cargo area is only 37" wide:
Tesla Model Y Interior, Trunk, Trunk Well, Frunk and Other Measurements
Since I took delivery of my Tesla Model Y Performance last Sunday, I received a lot of questions related to the interior measurements. I will make this as simple as possible, here we go: Let's start with the back trunk of the Model Y: Picture 1 A : 94 cm or 37 inches B: 108 cm or 42.5 inches...

A 50" wide mattress won't fit there. My rectangular MegaMat Duo is 41" wide and it does fit in the cargo area. BTW: LOSTHORIZON has a mattress designed to fit in the Model Y:
You can even get a version with an electric deflator which I would recommend. Unlike backpacking self-inflating mattresses these larger ones are a struggle to deflate. Bryan Hauer says he can use a standard electric pump to deflate his MegaMat. I wasn't able to do that with the LOSTHORIZON but maybe I missed a trick.
