Who says camping is limited to tents and cabins? Have an exciting night outdoors with a truck bed mattress. Place the camping mattress in your pickup truck bed to create a budget-friendly camping experience for the entire family. Grab your outdoor projector, favorite snacks, and drinks for a backyard camping experience.
Camping trips can't be on everyone's radar, unfortunately, so if you're staying home this fall, you can still have some outdoor time. Truck bed camping is becoming pretty popular. If you get the chance to get on the road and visit parks, do it! However, it's amazing that we're still able to feel like we're getting out of the house thanks to these truck bed air mattresses.
Best Truck Bed Air Mattresses
1. Rightline Gear Truck Bed Air Mattresses
Amazon
Amazon has a wonderful inflatable mattress option for trucks. This mattress by Rightline Gear is budget-friendly, Amazon Prime eligible, and has terrific reviews. The mattress fits the entire truck bed.
Gabe gave it five stars and wrote, "I bought two other air mattresses who claimed to fit my Toyota Tacoma SB but failed that claim IRL. After my third and final attempt to get one that fit, I saw this mattress (I also have the Rightline tent so I'm not sure why I didn't look there first ¯\_(?)_/¯) and as soon as it arrived I knew this would be the one. It is the perfect size and if very easy to set up/take down. Not to mention it is very comfortable."
Consider this pick, Tacoma owners.
It's so easy to set up too! Just inflate it with a 12V air pump. It'll inflate the mattress in seconds. It even comes with a patch kit, just in case.
