So over the past few years I have gone through prob about 5 air mattresses while sleeping in my jeep. They were the cheaper colemans that cost prob 30 bucks.
This year, I was going to try and find an alternative. What do you guys sleep on. My g/f has to be comfortable, so softness is key.
I wondered if maybe a better mattress would not puncture as easily? Or what are some alternatives?

It is by far the most comfortable sleep pad I have EVER slept on! I can't express how comfortable this sleep pad is! Its a bit pricey, but allows me to have a really great sleep while tent camping...WORTH EVERY PENNY!!

I got the REI 3.5" sleeping pad- you can go thinner, but my 38-year-old spine thanks me for this. I can set this right on a rock (I actually slept outdoors on concrete with this pad and woke up refreshed).
REI Camp Bed 3.5 Self-Inflating Pad
They also sell a cheap kit that straps one pad to a second pad, making a dual sleeper if you have a companion. Just keeps the pads from sliding apart. My girl and I have identical pads and sleeping bags which zip together so it's easy to go solo or make a big bed for the two of us.

I have the self inflating sleeping pad.
Also for sleeping in the JK, get something between your feet and the tailgate, that metal gets cold at night. Also, I would wrap something around the jeep to keep cold air from blowing underneath.
