I just received my Lightspeed Outdoors Flex 3.0 sleep pad (a/k/a Lightspeed Outdoors XL Super Plush FlexForm Self-Inflating Sleep and Camp Pad) from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Lightspeed-Outdoors-Super-FlexForm-Self-Inflating/dp/B01FELZ3TW?tag=ihco-20 Its open dimensions are 77" x 30" x 3" (3.5" at the pillow). Here's a photo of the pad on my Byer Easy Cot:

And here's a couple of photos of it in my 80 Series:

My original plan was to only fold, and level-up, the the 2nd-row passenger's seat. Then I'd just squeeze
the 30" pad into the 29" space between the 2nd-row driver's seat and the door pillar. However, I forgot about the curve at the back hatch, which scrunched the corner of the pad too much. So, I'll be folding the driver's seat (not leveled-up in the photo) too.

Per the instructions, I'm going to leave the valves open for 24 hours to make sure it fully inflates. However, I did give it a quick test on the cot, and in the Cruiser, and I think it's going to be very comfortable.
 
After the recommended 24 hour initial inflate period, I'm taking the pad for a test sleep tonight in the driveway.

Very similar to a pad I had my eye on from REI (yeah, I know). The specs are very close, but the price is much lower than the regular price for REI. Pinched nerve requires a more comfy camping arrangement.
 
UPDATE - 1st time sleeping on the pad: I like it! I'm 5'10" and currently 243 lbs, but whether I was lying on my back or either side, I didn't feel any hard points from the table, seat back, or PVC frame underneath the pad.
