SEATTLE (December 11, 2024) /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ — HEST, a leading innovator in outdoor and overlanding sleep gear, is excited to announce the launch of its newest portable mattress and pillow designed specifically for a Rivian R1S. The Foamy for R1S Mattress and the Rivian x HEST Camp Pillow is a collaboration bringing together HEST’s renowned expertise in comfort and durability with Rivian’s rugged, all-electric adventure vehicle to deliver the ultimate sleep solution for outdoor enthusiasts and overlanders.

Designed for use in a Rivian R1S, the Foamy for R1S features HEST’s signature temperature-resilient memory foam construction, providing optimal support and comfort. Transporting perfectly in the R1S cargo area or front trunk, it deploys into a perfectly-shaped memory foam bed in the back of Rivian R1S vehicles – complete with curved cut outs that fit seamlessly around the wheel wells. The Foamy for R1S is a single mattress, but link two together to maximize the space and create a comfortable double bed for two. The Rivian x HEST Camp Pillow completes the set up whether you’re sleeping under the stars or taking a quick power nap during a road trip, offering unparalleled comfort without compromising on portability.

“Rivian owners are passionate about adventure, and we’ve taken great care to design a mattress that complements exceptional features on R1S vehicles,” said Aaron Ambuske, CEO of HEST. “To provide drivers and campers the ability to recharge in the most comfortable way possible is at the core of HEST’s mission, and we are so pleased with this final outcome for Rivian owners.”

Key features of the Foamy for R1S by HEST portable mattress include:

• Rivian R1S Compatible: The Foamy for R1S by HEST was designed specifically to fit in the back of Rivian R1S vehicles by itself or linked with a second mattress via handy connector clips to make a double bed. Curved cut outs around the vehicle’s wheel wells create a perfect fit with the back seat down.
• Enhanced Memory Foam: Two layers of high performance polyfoams uniquely designed with a top layer that is plush body contouring & temperature resilient, while the bottom layer is slightly stiffer to provide optimal support, alignment and pressure point relief.
• R-Value 8.8: At 8.8, this is one of the highest R-Valued portable camping mattresses on the market.
• Stashables Pocket: A conveniently located extra large pocket on the side of the mattress above the wheel well cut out is the perfect location for your phone and other small stashables.
• Outdoor Ready & Washable: Waterproof & dirt resistant materials were selected with the great outdoors in mind; the cover is also easy to remove and machine wash.

Rivian R1S vehicles are renowned for off-road capabilities, electric powertrain, and sleek design, making them the perfect platform for adventure seekers. Together with HEST’s commitment to premium outdoor gear, this partnership brings an elevated sleep experience to those who want to explore in comfort, without sacrificing practicality.

“At Rivian, we pay close attention to our owner’s adventures. This helps us pursue gear and products that elevate their experiences,” said Paula Lobaccaro, Senior Manager, Product Line Management, Adventure Products. “That’s why we were thrilled to partner with HEST on a portable mattress designed specifically for our R1S. Not only does HEST share our dedication to quality, durability, and the pursuit of adventure, but this partnership allows our owners a comfortable way to dive into the world of car camping.”
