Luxury Tesla mattress for camping
Picture yourself on the open road, the quiet hum of your Tesla beneath you, the stars sprawling across the sky as your only companions. You're miles away from the nearest hotel, yet comfort is only a button press away. This is the promise of the Snuuzu, a marvel of modern camping innovation designed to transform your Model Y or Model 3 into a mobile haven of luxury.
Born out of necessity and a quest for comfort, the Snuuzu is the brainchild of Omar Tegel, a Dutch adventurer and early Tesla adopter. His journeys across Europe in a Model S revealed a gap in the market – a mattress that could match the sophisticated elegance of his Tesla, ensuring a good night's sleep wherever he parked. With his sons, Per and Djai Bereiter, Tegel set out to fill this void, founding Snuuzu in 2021.
The result is a multilayer mattress that combines the best of home and hotel bedding. It starts with a top layer of soft, breathable Lyocell, moving down to a layer of memory foam that molds to your body. Beneath that lies the innovative, patent-pending inflatable layer, which transforms the uneven Tesla trunk and folded seats into a flat, comfortable surface. This is all supported by a durable, waterproof base layer, ready to withstand the rigors of road travel.
What sets the Snuuzu apart is its ease of use. The built-in battery-powered pump inflates the mattress in under two minutes, and a simple button allows you to adjust the firmness to your liking. When it's time to hit the road again, the mattress deflates just as quickly, rolling up into a compact duffel bag that fits neatly into the Model Y or 3's sub-trunk. At 10.6 kg (23.4 lb), it’s light enough to handle easily, and its battery is good for up to five full inflate/deflate cycles before needing a recharge via USB-C.
The Snuuzu isn’t just about convenience; it’s about bringing a slice of luxury to the wild. It promises a sleeping experience comparable to the finest hotels, right in the back of your Tesla. However, such comfort comes at a price. Early backers on Kickstarter had the opportunity to snag one at a discounted rate, but even at its current €585 ($635) level, it’s clear this is an investment in quality rest.
Deliveries are slated to begin in December 2024, just in time for holiday gifting, although a tad late for the prime camping season in Europe or the US. Yet, for those who find solace and freedom in the open road, the Snuuzu offers an unparalleled blend of comfort and adventure. If you’re tired of compromising on sleep during your travels, this mattress might just be the perfect co-pilot.
