What do you do about how much space the DreamCase takes up, especially when you need to stow cross-country supplies on board?
Also a fellow Dreamcase owner but in a smaller Model 3 Perf. Love it!!! For longer trips I use a Thule roof box. For weekend trips I have no issue with storing my Dometic Cooler, suitcase/bags, etc and move them to the front seats when I want to sleep. I also bought a "hatch tent" that I can use for longer stays which turns the rear hatch (open) into a big tent with the dreamcase as a bed and the tent as a "home". I then bought a RinseKit for warm showers on the go.
I, too, tried 3 different DIY options for camping mattresses before I caved and got a Dreamcase. It is so much better than anything that I tried... Think of the cost in terms of how much you'd spend on hotel rooms, and it's much easier to swallow.

Maybe you are just finding a problem that doesn't exist
And I don't want to hear *sugar* about how you have a bad back, neck, or other joints and you need to sleep on a cloud or some other type of BS.
Because all my joints are trash from being overworked and jumping out of planes my whole life, and I sleep great on that cheap air mattress in the back of my car.
2 people on a twin mattress is a bad idea period. the dreamcase is an overpriced chunk of nonsense that takes up half your storage space when not in use. When my air mattress is stowed for storage it only takes up about 1/4 of the under trunk storage area. that dreamcase thing is massive you'd be better off just pitching a tent or getting an RV if you want that type of crap.Two people on an air mattress in a confined space in a Model S.

Dreamcase is like a Temperpedic and you sleep very well.
Don’t have a pic right now. Fits pretty much perfect when opened out for sleeping. You’ll find several pics online of it in a model Y and the fit in the S is better as it’s a little wider.
Which size did you go with? Any modifications to the shape/size to make it fit better? I know that the queen size air mattresses we've used in the past would "taco" up due to the wheel wells. That is until we found a truck bed version that fits between those nicely. I was looking at the Millard as a more comfortable option but was planning to cut notches out of the sides to emulate this basic shape to fit the area better. Of course, then the issue is that I can't return it if we don't like it. We just need something more comfortable for longer trips. The air mattress we have is alright for a night or two but much beyond that it starts to elicit feelings of dread when thinking about the impending night of sleep late in the day.
