Foam mattress for sleeping platform
I’m close to completing the sleeping platform for my 2015 4Runner. I’m thinking a 3” foam mattress is the way to go. Is there a foam mattress that is cut to fit a T4R? Should I look more closely at inflatable options?

3 inch is the way to go, air mattresses suck. You can either get a piece from Home Depot and cut it to size and then sew a cover for it or you can get a custom foam mattress made at Custom Foam Mattresses | Foam Factory, Inc. . You can order separately a cover separately from them.

You can buy foam like mentioned above, or just buy a "double" size mattress

Curious how those with experience (read: not me) would rank the thick foam options above, compared with an Exped MegaMat 10 or 15 - if money was not a factor, what would truly be most comfortable?

The Exped is very comfortable and compact. I think a 4" memory foam folding mattress is best. I use the Exped most of the time, but will be trying a folding mattress soon.

Not cheap but this mattress looks interesting. They make a 'dual' folding version as well.
I'm a few months away from pulling the trigger for a RTT, my back is terrible so I'll throw $ at whatever is the best option

i haven't measured the height difference (2 row) but it seems you could go 4" up to the riser, then 2" over the back seats.
Either glue the 2 pieces together or sew a cover, or both.
IKN?

+1 for the Exped! I love mine and it fits perfectly between the wheel wells!

Looks very cool. Too long for sleeping in the 4R. Too expensive for my taste.

It appears as if a "full/Dbl" size foam mattress is approx 6" too long to fit in the cargo/sleeping area of a 2015 4runner. So maybe buy a walmart foam mattress and cut it down to fit?

Anyone have any pictures of an exped Megamat in a 5th Gen 4 Runner? We always recommend the megamat duo for the 100/200 series landcruiser, people say that mattress is so good they use it at home. It fills every inch of the landcruiser, curious if it fits in a 4R?
