My First Tesla and My First Mattress for it- A Solo One! (Juniper Model Y Performance)

LeoWitt | 2026-02-10 21:24 | 184 views

Got a 2026 Model Y Performance a couple weeks back, my first EV too. I had been researching mattresses for a while in advance. I was looking forward to finally being able to sleep in my car without freezing at night, since I can keep climate on continuously unlike my prior gas car. I was originally looking at a Lost Horizon Mattress or Exped Mat, which both have some good options, Exped is a bit pricey. But none of them accounted for the slanted seat angle of the Model Y, and plus I only wanted a solo 1 sided one, so that narrowed it down a bit. Some of the solo one's would fit, but were not custom shaped for the Y along with the issue of the top of the mattress hanging over the headrest area, you may need something underneath to support it up. I was also torn between a pure air mattress, or pure foam, or combo, etc.... I ended up getting one with both elements: Hanvby " Autolevel Foam Tesla Model Y Mattress - Solo Edition" [https://havnby.com/products/autolevel-foam-tesla-model-y-mattress-solo-edition](https://havnby.com/?ref=TeslaMattress) 10% Off Coupon: **TeslaCamper** I contacted Havnby to confirm some of the features and mentioned I was posting a review on it, since I was their first Juniper MYP user, they asked if I would also include a coupon code for it.) (Note, It comes in a full size for 2 people too, but I only wanted a 1 person size.) It is wedge shaped to be Level, has a push up cushion underneath that uses the headrests to support the top end a bit, also has a built in pump to inflate and deflate it. I love that the power cord is built in with a little compartment to store it. Here's my quick review of it, I was initially just going to film a generic one handed vlog of setting it up but then got carried away with the editing lol, was having fun with my first time using CapCut: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zk8jQDMkonE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zk8jQDMkonE) I went on a quick day trip to just test it out, some photos below. But also later spent a few nights on it. A couple things to note, it does come with a custom bed sheet for it. Also, my only complaint thus far, is the rubber cover that holds the power cord in doesn't stay put, it pops out easily, but not a big deal. Otherwise been loving it so far, even to just lay down on it during the day time with my laptop. A few more images here: [https://imgur.com/a/5jcO4LY](https://imgur.com/a/5jcO4LY)

I got the full mattress but this one looks good with that extra space

I saw a tip recently that the seats fold down a little bit more if you use the controls on the seats themselves instead of the controls in the trunk,.

Anyone see the R2 reviews out today? Doug Demuro showed the Rivian mattress and it looks pretty sweet. Also the R2 has an actual 120v outlet inside the cabin which is going to be amazing for car camping. Always drove me crazy that teslas don’t have a single outlet inside.

I assume this still works in the Juniper, but you can also get it just about perfectly flat by removing the seat cushion, if you don't need the back seats at least.

Just saw on r/TeslaCamping (and confirmed on their site) that the prices of their Auto Level mattresses have doubled in price from what it was just a couple of days ago. I've been eying it over the last few days and was just about to buy one, but don't think it's worth the price anymore.

$500 mattress! You must be camping a lot in your car

Beautiful views and nice setup!

Not saying it's you but we're definitely getting botted by the R2 launch 😂 I loved my R1 test drive, a better car by far (at least justifies the big price gap) but dear lord their self-driving feels like what I had in my Honda in 2016ish. Neverending game of Pong between the lines. Rivian is a better car but it's not *"okay I'll drive again"* tier yet.

That looks really nice

Don’t go around telling others your opinion about rivian or they’re going to be upset!

kimchibaeritto 2026-02-11 01:47

Yeez

WildFlowLing 2026-02-11 02:28

Nah not a bot. Rivian is working on a point to point self driving system just like FSD. They just had their autonomy day recently. Depending on when you test drove, things are wildly different now and rapidly advancing since Rivian is vertically integrated like Tesla. Their roadmap shows that their version of FSD is coming out this year and honestly I believe they’re going to be the only ones who do it like Tesla. Should be great for the EV space.

ForsookComparison 2026-02-11 02:37

More or less upset by the fact that I like my Tesla lol

MexicanSniperXI 2026-02-11 02:38

Oh that’s even worse!! How dare you say that! 😂😂

The next best thing is V2L, and then after that, a pure sine wave inverter or a massive powerbank.

I’m shocked by how easy it is to remove the lower seats - just indented polystyrene. But be careful with the cable harness for seat heaters, though easy to uncooked once you work it out.

Looks very nice, I got a cheap one from temu which is thin and it is ok, but I havent tested a whole night yet.

I personally have this mattress. It is the cheapest 4" memory foam inflatable mattress I could find at the time. I'm sure the Havnby and others are better but $129 is a lot less than $499-$699 [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F2MM8969](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F2MM8969)

They increased the price, they still have it on Amazon at the regular pricing (1/2 the price both Full size and solo) or until they realize they forgot to change pricing there lol [https://www.amazon.com/Havnby-Mattress-6-7-Inch-Portable-Camping/dp/B0FP1Z2769/](https://amzn.to/4rOZhlo)

They still have it here on Amazon at the regular pricing (1/2 the price both Full size and solo) I just ordered one before they realize they forgot to change pricing there lol [https://www.amazon.com/Havnby-Mattress-6-7-Inch-Portable-Camping/dp/B0FP1Z2769/](https://amzn.to/4rOZhlo)

There autonomy day was pretty embarrassing honestly, there system releasing this year doesn’t even see stop lights yet. You can watch the reviewers go on test drives in it. It basically is just autopilot with lane changes
