Deepsleep Solo Overland mattress

I’d want to have the right to return them AFTER I’d opened the package, and perhaps used it.

One of my questions on this Solo mat is does the memory foam remain soft in cold weather?Some memory foam often gets hard in the cold. Also, how long is the Solo mat? I saw the width, but not the length on their website. For me, a 21” wide mat is too narrow if I’m only using a single mat. However, if you’re planning on using 2 mats side by side that’d probably be OK, and you couldn’t fit 2 larger mats side by side in there.

I also have recently purchased a new Wilderness and am setting it up for camping as well, but I’ll be the only person camping in it. I’m presently using my Thermarest self inflating mat which is 25” wide x 72” long, and that’s fine for me. I also have a Hest mat that I had for truck camping, but it’s 30” wide, and to wide for the Subaru, together with my cooler and other items I‘ll have in it. Hest also has a 25” wide mat that I may buy at some point. I can heartedly recommend a Hest mat if you’re planning to camp alone and don’t mind their cost.
This thread is the OP's only post so we may not hear a follow up, but I'm curious if @Rpoole11 got one of these.

I couldn't find a length spec either; odd omission for such basic information. The 4Runner marketed one looks identical in shape and appears to be 72" so maybe that's what they are.

Agreed about the width too; 25" wide minimum for me, although the tapered shape looks like at least in the torso / shoulder area it's wider. I'm 6'4" so my ideal pad size is at least 78" long.

Primitive car camping is great but I also like to backpack so I use the same Therm a Rest mattress for that and for sleeping in our SUV (not Subaru). In colder weather or for a bit more comfort in the car I just put a closed cell foam pad and/or wool blanket underneath. Having something that's feasible to field repair if it leaks is important to me, not sure how the Deep Sleep would do in that regard.

These don't look to be custom for a particular Outback, but rather they appear to be a generally useful shape which would work in lots of SUV type vehicles with a center console between the front seats.
