Default Can someone measure the 110 2-row cargo space for me?

I am wanting a low cot for sleeping in back of my 110; I'm just a hair too long (6') to sleep straight, and even diagonally I have to bend my knees a tad. So I want something to elevate my head over the folded rear seat cushion, so that with the driver's seat slid and folded forward my head can be up in that space above the footwell. My 110 is in another state for a bit so I can't measure it.

What I need to know is:

1) height above the load floor of the tail of the seat cushion, as it sticks up when folded into the vertical position. (Need to make sure my cot's legs are long enough to clear it.)
2) distance from rear of folded seat cushion to inside of tailgate. (Need to make sure that the cot, when slid forward so the front legs are against the "bulkhead" of the folded seat cushions, isn't too long to close the tailgate.

Here's a cot I'm considering if the measurements check:




Thanks to anybody who has the time to help a brother out.

Cheers!

Take a look at this post with all cargo measurements from @merrion13

Perfect, exactly what I needed. Did you stumble on thread by searching or just remember that it existed? Either way, thanks a bunch.

In my case, the 61.5 (“F”) measurement is troubling. May just be too short to accommodate the “wheelbase” of any cots I can find. The overall length of most is 74-75” which should work great, overhanging the console just a tad. But the front legs likely want to sit right where the upturned seat cushions are. I suppose if the heights align I could just leave the front legs off and let the top of the seat cushions function as legs.

This in medium double works great and is surprisingly comfortable for an air mattress. Head end is slightly elevated with the rear seat folded. 6'4" with a 110 two row, sleep a bit diagonal. I have the seat memory #3 set to full forward to create a bit more room when camping.

Thanks for the link. I already have an air mattress that somebody linked here about 3 years ago that fits the cargo floor perfectly, i.e. with cutouts for the wheel wells, then flaring out at the wide spots. But even at only 6' I can't lie diagonally and stretch out on my back, which is why I want to be on a platform that's higher than the 2nd row seat cushions so I can float above them slightly.

Default Updates?

Hey, I was curious if you ever found a solution to this. My partner and I are trying to camp in the back of my new 110 and you're totally right, the whole bed needs to be raised up a bit to accommodate head space. I plan to use the Exped Duo Mat which is the perfect length for me but I need some structure that raises it to the height of the folded seats. Did the cot end up working well for you?
