bfurth Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) Pretty self explanatory - will a standard twin mattress and box spring (39x74) fit with the rear seats folded down? I know the floor dimensions of the rear are 42x75, but how's the clearance 8 inches up? I don't have cross bars, so I'm not putting it on the roof. I could take my van, but I'd rather drive the Journey! I could also take my son's mattress and throw it in the back, but that requires hauling a mattress down two flights of stairs, and I really don't feel like doing it (especially if someone else can tell me they have successfully carried a twin mattress set). Edit: measurements are in inches - leave your metric nonsense north of the border where it belongs! Edited June 25, 2015 by bfurth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Should fit width and height wise no problem. It's the length I'd be worried about. And, no, thats NOT what she said. 2late4u and bfurth 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfurth Posted June 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 I measured the distance from the back of the front passenger seat to the edge of the scissor jack compartment and got 75". Considering that a standard twin is 74", and I've got some room to move the seats forward if I really need to, I'll assume that it ought to fit at this point. This is of course assuming my grandmother didn't buy a Twin XL mattress (80") just to mess with me. This is the only problem of having the largest vehicles in the entire local extended family... At least the T&C has a load line imprinted on the door sill on the rear hatch. Anything loaded to that point and at least 26" up from the bottom will clear the door and glass.

dhh3 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 You could always tie it to the roof. hockey_puck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfurth Posted June 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 For the record, it does fit. Barely, but it does fit. Front seats have to be moved up from where I keep them and you have to close the tailgate with more than the usual force. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnR Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Does anyone know if it will fit a double mattress? I realize I am coming to the discussion late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should fit. Probably folded. Box spring is another issue entirely. 2late4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfurth Posted August 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 A twin mattress completely filled the floor of the Journey - no room to maneuver side to side or front to back. A full or bigger will not fit, nor will a twin extra long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
