A $500 mattress for your SUV: what you get for the money

Luno's AIR+FOAM Pro Vehicle Mattress costs $499.99 in the US. The self-inflating double mattress is 10 cm thick, combines air and polyurethane foam, weighs 5.44 kg, and has a stated R-value of 11. It is shaped to fit specific vehicle interiors and can be split into two halves with separate air chambers. Head Support Bridges are included for many models, but not for the Rivian R1S, Toyota Land Cruiser, and some 4Runner versions. Luno does not ship directly to the Netherlands or Belgium, complicating purchases. A cheaper alternative is the Exped MegaMat Auto, available locally for €349.95 with an ASTM R-value of 8.1.
