I've done it with no issues, but I am short - 5'6". I used a camping Thermarest mattress and stuffed a blanket in the "valley" the rear seat makes when it is down to smooth it out.

Ya I have slept in the back of mine as well... wasnt too bad except I didnt have a blanket it was winter and it got really cold. Just used the pillows i keep in the back for the freedom top panels for the reveen that is made from the seats folded forward. I am 6'2" but was curled up trying to keep warm.

Yep. A big hunk of foam padding (4 in I think) and a sleeping bag. I am 74 inches so I have to move one of the front seats forward (and put some gear in the hole it leaves to make it level). Comfy as can be.

My wife and I have probably 50 nights in the back of mine with a $20 air mattress. Just fold up a blanket to cover the gap between the seats (and bolts that stick up). No problems at all, and comfy as anything.

There are kits to create a level floor after the rear seat is removed. They have hinged steel lids that allow storage under the floor after they are installed.

Ya I did not have the intention to sleep in the back of the jeep that night but lets just say my friends got too drunk and wouldnt wake up to let me into their house so I slept in the back of the jeep... eh. Have also had a female companion in the back of the jeep too... if you catch my drift... just make sure she watches her head on the rollbar. Pleeeenty of room!
