Sleeping in back w/ bed liner coating?

[Smith]

Thanks fellas, just wanted to confirm. I'll be scheduling it in the coming weeks. I need to start up a build thread at some point.

I had a rubber horse stall mat I threw in the back when I had a TC at one point and it ALWAYS gave off a strong rubber odor whenever it heated up...

Keep in mind, with a topper on the truck, the liner will not necessarily be in direct sun light, and probably not heat up enough to give off the odor, if any.

Mine has never smelled. Slept in the back plenty of times. Twin sized mattress will do nicely.

I've slept in the back of a few of my pick-ups with a spray-in liner and have never had an issue with off gassing odors (from the bed liner). Then again, I never had a canopy on within a month of the liner being sprayed. I used to use an air mattress but found that the cold would transfer right through and into me so I upgraded to a 4" foam mattress - way better, more comfortable, and much warmer!

I have the Line X coating with a Tonneau Cover. I've never noticed any Off Gasing smells after it has been sealed up for awhile and never had a sticky problem. I would sleep back there. Good Question!

Like others have said, the bed liner doesn’t so much give off fumes. Before I had the Phoenix popup camper I ran a Snugtop topper for a few years. Now that topper gave off some serious fumes especially when it was new. I think it was the toppers headliner that was emitting the gasses.

I recommend you use www.bedrug.com. you will have a great night sleep. check them out @ your local camper/shell dealer.
good luck with the bed ridges.

Should state sleep WELL=brian

Not that you were asking, but I've got a truckbedz inflatable that I really like. I think I payed $65 for it. Beats sleeping on the truck bed IMHO of course

Food for thought: jeep owners line their whole interiors with the stuff all the time. I have used the DIY stuff with great success, no off gassing after the stuff has cured up.

Another vote for the bed rug. My first Dmax was Line-X'd, I never even gave the fume thing any consideration. I'll second the bed rug for two reasons,m insulation, and they perfectly conform to the rigdes in your bed making for a flat sleeping surface. I still used a sleeping pad, but I'm old and fat. I got many a good night sleep in the truck, some of them when the weather would have made a tent miserable.


We usually set up a screen room off the back of the truck, worked well for us.
