For those of us embracing the Tesla lifestyle, road trips are part of the package. Whether you’re exploring national parks, going cross-country, or simply seeking that perfect stargazing spot, having a quality mattress can make all the difference when it comes to overnight stays in your Tesla. While TESMAT has been in the Tesla mattress game for years, Tesla recently released their own air mattress option. Now TESMAT has stepped up the game with their latest Luxe Mattress, promising more comfort, convenience, and versatility. We put the Luxe Mattress and Tesla’s Air Mattress to the test to help you make an informed choice.
Here’s how they measure up:
Comfort: Thickness & Plushness
First, let’s talk about what matters most for a mattress: comfort. TESMAT’s Luxe Mattress was designed for premium feel and support. It boasts a 44x thicker profile and a plush, dual foam support layer, giving it the edge over Tesla’s air mattress, which, while functional, can feel relatively minimal in thickness and comfort.
We found that it was easy to bottom out when sleeping on your side in Tesla’s mattress while this wasn’t possible with the TESMAT Luxe. The Luxe Mattress is also longer than its Tesla counterpart, giving you that extra space to fully stretch your legs if you are over 6 feet tall.
The Luxe Mattress offers a notable difference in feel, especially after a long day of driving. The dual foam layer incorporates a denser base layer for support with a softer top layer for cushioning. This two-part structure aims to offer a balance between softness and support — something the Tesla air mattress doesn’t match with its single-layer inflatable design. Simply put, the Luxe Mattress feels more like a bed and less like a camping mat.

Availability: No Waiting for TESMAT
If you’re planning a spontaneous trip, the last thing you want is to wait for your gear. Here, TESMAT’s Luxe Mattress wins again — it’s readily in stock, while Tesla’s Air Mattress is rarely in stock. For adventurers, this difference in availability could be a deciding factor.

Compatibility
Tesla’s Air Mattress currently supports only the Model Y, which is limiting for those with a Model 3. TESMAT, however, offers Luxe Mattresses for both Model Y and Model 3, making it a great choice for a wider range of Tesla owners.
This flexibility means you can choose your Tesla model without worrying about mattress compatibility.

Durability and Material Quality
The Luxe Mattress’s materials set it apart from Tesla’s option. While Tesla’s Air Mattress uses a standard inflatable material similar to camping airbeds, TESMAT's Luxe Mattress features a thicker, more durable design to withstand the unique wear and tear of road trips, making it a long-term investment.
Beyond the outer material, TESMAT’s Luxe Mattress also integrates a high-density foam, a stark difference from Tesla’s purely inflatable design. The foam composition, combined with its dual-layer support system, gives it a structure that stands up better to movement and pressure, providing a restful night without the typical sinking or shifting you might experience with an air mattress.

Convenience and Inflation Options
Setting up for sleep in your Tesla can be a hassle — unless you have the right tools. TESMAT’s Luxe Mattress offers three different ways to inflate, catering to both the fully-prepared and the minimalist traveler. You can use a USB-C rechargeable electric pump, the air-tight carrying case that doubles up as a manual hand pump, or let the mattress self-inflate thanks to its expanding memory foam technology.
Tesla’s Air Mattress, on the other hand, comes with only a basic pump, which could limit setup flexibility depending on your location or power options. TESMAT’s multi-inflation approach makes it more versatile, giving you more options to set up comfortably regardless of the scenario. For Tesla owners who value flexibility and don’t want to rely on one inflation method, this feature alone is really valuable.

Portability and Storage
Both mattresses can be stored in your Tesla’s trunk area without taking up much space. They both fit in both the sub trunk and the frunk.

Price
When considering the Luxe Mattress, it’s clear that TESMAT aims to provide a more premium experience. Though priced higher than Tesla’s Air Mattress, we feel the Luxe Mattress justifies its cost with increased durability, comfort, and unique features like its dual-layer design, thicker material, and multi-inflation options.
If you’re simply looking for a basic sleep surface though, Tesla’s Air Mattress is a lower-cost choice and could do the trick.

Final Thoughts
For Tesla owners ready to invest in comfort and longevity, TESMAT’s Luxe Mattress is a perfect choice. It outshines Tesla’s own Air Mattress with thoughtful features designed for durability, comfort, and convenience, making it more than just a temporary sleep solution. The Luxe Mattress’s thicker, plush foam layers, in-stock availability, and versatility for Model Y and Model 3 make it a strong contender in the Tesla travel accessory lineup.
Whether you’re headed to a campsite, setting up for a long drive, or just looking for an easy way to relax under the stars, TESMAT’s Luxe Mattress delivers the comfort, durability, and usability that Tesla’s Air Mattress can’t quite match. Make it your go-to for the perfect camping experience in your Tesla.
