Did everyone order the deepsleep direct? The shipping charges seem pretty steep!
I don't remember shipping being high. If you are a Treadlightly member you get a discount. I would call them direct and see if they will help you on the price.

I thought I would give a little feedback on those thinking about sleeping in the back of their rig. My wife and I just returned from a short 5 day overlanding adventure in Colorado. We are not fancy travelers and have backpacked in the past so sleeping in tight quarters did not worry us too much. I'm 6'1" and she is 5'9" so maybe a little taller then average. Prior to our trip, I purchased a couple of the deepsleep foam/air mattresses and they fit like a glove. I had already installed an elevated interior cargo rack and that made all the difference on keeping our gear safe, accessible but out of the way. The only item we left outside the Jeep when we slept was our cooler, which worked out nice because the nights were cold (upper 30's) so it kept our food /ice packs cold. Typically we would have tent camped and it was nice not having to set down a tent with the morning dew on it. Anyway, I don't post much but I thought I would provide a little perspective for those thinking about taking the plunge with maybe sleeping in the back of their rig. A couple of other quick things that worked out well for us were, 2 nets over the back windows that we rolled down about 6" and a small battery operated fan that kept the air moving inside all night.
