Default Sleeping in the jk!

Ok.....so first of all my wife did not kick me out of the house. I need to sleep in the 4DR for two nights. What have people done to fill in the crack when you fold the rear seats down? I tried a good old towel last year,but it was a no go!!!!

Extra pillows work great plus using a thick sleeping bag.

I slept in my 2 Dr JK, without back seat, like TF mentioned lots o pillows! It was my bachelor party though so sleeping in the 2 dr wasn't too bad!

Cut a piece of plywood to fit and buy an air mattress and you should be good

I would use an air mattress. It will fill to fit the dimensions of the cargo area and offer superior comfort. I used to sleep in the back of my explorer a lot with and without an air mattress. My back greatly appreciated the mattress.

Sleeping in a 2 dr was a one time thing... I had literally 10 pillows for a make shift mattress, and still very uncomfortable. In a 4 dr you have many more options

The wife and I have just reclined the seats in a 2-door and used blankets (or sleeping bags opened up to make a blanket). Not the best nights sleep, but minimalism can be fun.

Granted this product is for dogs but it seems like it should work pretty good.
