Sleep Like a Pro: Why Hest Makes the Best Overlanding Mattresses

When you're deep in the backcountry, a good night’s sleep isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity. Whether you’re chasing sunsets in the desert, tackling rocky trails in the mountains, or setting up camp along the coast, a quality sleep setup can make or break your overlanding experience. After years of sleeping on everything from thin camping pads to noisy air mattresses, we finally found the solution: Hest.

Why We Chose Hest for Our Overland Setup

As full-time media creators and off-road enthusiasts, we spend more nights in our Bronco Raptor or rooftop tent than we do in traditional beds. We need gear that works as hard as we do. Hest’s products, from their ultra-comfortable sleeping pads to their game-changing pillows, are designed specifically for those who want the comfort of home without sacrificing durability.

1. Comfort That Rivals Your Bed at Home

Hest mattresses aren’t your typical foam camping pads. Their dual-layer memory foam design contours to your body, reducing pressure points and giving you the deep sleep you need before another day of adventure. If you’ve ever woken up stiff from a cheap sleeping pad, you know how important this is.

2. Built for Overlanders

One of our biggest issues with traditional sleeping pads is durability. Thin foam wears out, air mattresses deflate in the cold, and many options just aren’t made for rough conditions. Hest’s products are rugged and designed to handle temperature swings, dust, and all the abuse that comes with overlanding.

3. Easy to Pack, Easy to Use

Storage space is prime real estate in an overland rig. Hest mattresses roll up compactly, making them ideal for anyone running a rooftop tent, truck bed setup, or sleeping inside their vehicle. They deploy quickly, meaning no more wasted time fiddling with a frustrating air pump at the end of a long day on the trails.

4. The Hest Pillow: Small but Mighty

We have to give a special shoutout to the Hest Pillow. It’s a travel pillow that actually feels like a real pillow. With memory foam filling and a compressible design, it’s been a game-changer for our trips.

Our Verdict? Worth Every Penny

If you take overlanding seriously, investing in a Hest mattress is one of the best decisions you can make. The added comfort, durability, and ease of use far outweigh the cost. Plus, quality sleep means better energy for exploring, filming, and tackling those tough trails.
