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?

I went ahead and bought one of these, and took it with me on a trip to the Rubicon in July.

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).

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.

I stuff a blanket or towels at first. After a couple of days out, it turns into my laundry basket (inside plastic bags)...:cool:

I use two swing seat pads staggered to smooth out the folded seat height difference, right size and comfy.
