HEST and Rivian gear up for summer with new sleep system
SEATTLE, WA (June 9, 2026) /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ — HEST Outdoors, known for premium sleep systems built for adventure, has announced the next chapter in its collaboration with Rivian: the HEST Foamy for R2. Designed specifically for the all-new Rivian R2, a mid-size electric SUV, the new mattress turns the back of the SUV into a custom-fit sleep system engineered for comfort, portability, and life on the road.
Building on HEST’s proven approach to vehicle-specific camping solutions, the Foamy for R2 continues the brand’s focus on high-performance materials and thoughtful design. It offers a purpose-built fit for the Rivian R2, as the second iteration of HEST’S Rivian-compatible mattresses.
“After the success of our initial collaboration with the Foamy for R1S, we are proud to continue to support the most comfortable and plush adventure for Rivian drivers. The Foamy for R2 reflects HEST’s commitment to creating comfort-forward gear that makes it easier for drivers to sleep well wherever the adventure leads,” said Aaron Ambuske, CEO and Founder at HEST. “We’re proud to expand HEST’s Rivian collection as this summer kicks off.”
“Our all-new R2 was built to inspire adventure, and we want every part of the driving experience to feel seamless and intentional,” said Kaila Vandermay, Commercial Lead, Adventure Gear at Rivian. “Following the incredible response to the R1S mattress, expanding our collaboration with HEST for R2 was a natural next step. HEST shares our commitment to quality, durability, and thoughtful design. This custom sleep system makes the R2 even more versatile, giving our owners an incredibly comfortable and effortless way to camp right inside their vehicle.”
The Foamy for R2 deploys into a perfectly shaped memory foam bed in the back of the Rivian R2 complete with curved cut outs that fit seamlessly around the wheel wells. Utilizing two layers of temperature resilient memory foam, the Foamy for R2 is a single mattress, but has the option to link two together- driver and passenger sides- to maximize the space and create a comfortable double bed for two. Each Foamy for R2 features an oversized pocket to store your phone, Rivian key card, and other small stashables.
