what size air matress can you fit in the back of your 1st gen 4runner with the rear seats folded flat? can a double fit?

You have a 4Runner, go out and take some measurements and do some searching.

they make air mattresses to fit the ext cab 4x4 pickups (which is a shortbed) and with the seats folded down, the same air mattress fits the 1st generation 4runners.


it also is Molded AROUND the wheel wells

I use a futon mattress and fold it in half while traveleing, so I guess that is a fullsize

I have used air mattresses but they squeek next to the roll bars

That would drive me nuts! Especially if the wife's with me in a quiet campground!!!!!

A twin size mattress fits perfectly in the bed of my friends ranger.
So, with the seats folded down i could only assume itd work in a runner

I don't know how you guys can sleep in the back of a 1st gen 4runner. I tried it a month ago with a coleman twin air mattress, fit pretty good, but with the tailgate shut (it was raining or else I would've left it open) I was really cramped, like I couldn't stretch out.. got hardly any sleep.. not to discourage you from doing this, I just want to know if anyone else thought the back of the 4runner was a little cramped.

i have a 2nd gen 4 door 4runner so it's a little larger.


first thing i did when i got my 4runner here was roll the rear window down, fold the seats flat, and lay in the back to see if i could sleep back there if need be....and much to my surprise..i was comfy on the stock hard floor....although i have back problems, and my bed cost a healthy $5000 (nothing special really...not that memory foam stuff )....and even after that...sometimes i still end up sleeping on the floor just because of my back lol


btw i'm 6ft tall, roughly 215lbs.

The trick is alcohol.
I mean, who goes camping sober anyways?

i plan on sleeping in the 4runner allot once i get it setup and what not and im 5'11" ish. i have slept in my standard cab 4 TIMES!!!!! that wasnt too bad... i was drunk. all four times. heh. peow's got the idea lol. i mean i wouldnt live in a 4runner but id rather be inside a nice cozy carpeted 4runner than a tent lol. plus 4runners come impervious to bears from the factory

so much more comfortable in the back of the rig

when the wind start blowing so hard it becomes a sand storm..

I am 6' and my wife is 5' 9", we have slept in the 4runner with the dog, even ( she is small, curled up in the drivers seat).

My wife is a bit of a priss, so she complained a little, but once she fell asleep, she slept fine. I slept great, but I can sleep anywhere.

Anyway, yeah, a double fits, you will sleep fine, especially if you're alone, if you use the double, and not the truckbed you have 2 extra spots on both sides to put stuff by the wheel wells.

I also use the futon matters. Very comfortable. I ganked an extra switch out of my parts runner to install in the back to put the window up from in the back with the truck off.

I always wanted to go camping in my (1st gen) 4Runner but after hearing this i may have to reconsider. I guess tomorrow i'll go out and see if i fit… But i doubt it, i'm 6'7"

Truck bedz mattress fits perfectly in my 90 short bed.

We load the tent at the back of the truck/4runner. Set up the tent, connect the "tunnel" that seals the truck to the tent, and then unload your gear into the tent. Now, you have the full bed and tailgate to sleep and an enclosed area for all your gear. It looks like this from the truck to the tent:

Doesn't do us much good without knowing what kind of tent that is, who makes it, etc.
