Is that a typo? I'm not even aware of a 38" wide mattress that Milliard makes. If that's a queen, it's 75" x 58" x 4" so what size is it based on the common Twin, Full, Queen or King nomenclature?

Oohhh... It's a Twin then. Got it. I need something that sleeps two so a Queen is the one I have my eye on.
Well the MS wheel wells are approx 38.5”. A larger one really does not fit. If there are two people, then either way, you have to fit between the wheel well bumps. At least that’s my experiences.

When we camp in the car, my wife and I sleep back to back on our sides. This means that the extra width in front of and behind the wheel well is useful to sleep in a more natural position. A Twin just won't get r dun for us. I want something that provides that extra width especially up by the head end. If I was solo then the Twin would be the way to go as it's all you need.Well the MS wheel wells are approx 38.5”. A larger one really does not fit.

This sounds great! Do you have a link for the Millard mattress sheets?Can confirm the Millard fits perfectly. I will be glamping on a 4k Western US National Park tour the next ten days. Buy their mattress sheet as well.
Remember to bring a pillow and slide the trunk cover between the folded seats and mattress so that the portion near the driver side is not sagging down. I regret not bringing that along. But I remedied it by facing my head towards the trunk. Testing it in the garage now with my 80lb dog next to me while typing this. Feels really cozy for two.
Saving just one $150 hotel stay pays for all of it.
The twin fits fine in the back but you'll need a board or plank in front to keep it from eating. The areas not covered by the front makes it easier to access rear door storage and let wells as well. I don't see you needing the little bit of side space left.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.
Would love to get any updates on whether you were able to work something out and what the timing might be on this new product. I'm anxious to find a solution for the model S just like you describe as being comfortable yet easily storable!Quick update on this topic: I got tired of trying to make things work for the Model S that weren't made for the Model S. There's a company that makes those inflatable/foam camping style mattresses that are popular for camping due to ability to be rolled up and transported as well as their comfort. The air mattress we've used for years just wasn't cutting it for comfort anymore. I wanted something more comfortable that was also able to be put in a smaller space (frunk for instance) when not in use. There exists a version for the Model 3/Y and I figured it would fit the S no problem as well. Wrong. I still feel as though this style mattress would be about the best solution so I reached out directly to the manufacturer. Much to my surprise, they were open to working with me on measurements and suggestions to make something custom for the X/S. I'm hopeful to have something in my hands in the next couple of months to test out and, assuming everything out, they'll likely have it to market within a short period after that. I'll try to remember to update this thread as details emerge but I really hope this is the solution we've been looking for.
What's the name of the company and their contact information? I'd like to reach out to them as well.Quick update on this topic: I got tired of trying to make things work for the Model S that weren't made for the Model S.

Nothing new to report, really. Sadly.any news on this?
I also need a twin bed which folds down to the frunk for my S Plaid.
No typo. Just a Milliard 4”X 38” X 75”
I have this:
Fits perfectly in the S, rolls up small, and is VERY comfortable. Highly recommended! Get it with the pump unless you're a masochist.
I don't have any platform and it was fine. It's a hybrid mattress with a layer of foam on top of an inflatable core. It gives a bit of rigidity. This makes it harder to roll up than a pure air mattress. They recommend rolling it out every couple of months to prevent it from deforming. I can only assume it's sort of like other beds in a box to prevent the foam from getting damaged when rolled up for too long.Do you need a platform for the rear area where the folded down rear seats are higher than the rear trunk area?
