Grab a sleeping pad or two like the
Therm-a-Rest LuxuryMap (from $190) to arrange in your space (bonus: it can also be used when camping in a tent). If you’re using two Thermarests, pair it with their
Down Coupler (from $114) to secure them together like a mattress. Once the mattress base is ready, it’s time to layer up. You could bring your trusty sleeping bag, of course, but the fun of (literally) car camping is turning your backseat into an epic layered bed. Grab a striped throwbed like the one pictured from
Elsie Green ($375) for extra cushion on top of your base mattress, and then throw some beautiful, cozy blankets on top like the
Yuma Star (from $129) or
Chief Joseph (from $269) from Pendleton. Bring a favorite pillow for the adventure, with the added assurance that it won’t be getting dirty on the ground.
