Bed tents are great! I have one for my ‘71 Gladiator (7’ bed) and plan to get one for my ‘20 Gladiator. Need to see if my air mattress will fit.

This is the one I got. https://www.autoanything.com/truck-tents/rightline-gear-truck-tent

It will be tight inside but should work for a 3 day hunting trip. I think you may have a problem with a toll mattress because the door is sloppy and you run a chance hitting the mattress with it.
I have a roll bed cover which cannot be rolled up all the way to the back as it interferes with the back wall of the ten. i am also not used to these cheap poles assuming will need to replace them with proper aluminum poles when they break (and I am sure they will at some point). Otherwise it fit well and not too bad putting it up once you know where to put these hooks. Oh another small gripe - there are 2 carabiners at the gate which you supposed to hook into the tie down anchors inside the bed, so they are too small, I hooked them to my top row anchors but if you do not have these you will need to add a larger carabiner for each side (2).

I’m just waiting for my Napier tent to show up. Costco here in Canada has a great price for it and it includes strap protectors to protect the paint.

I also read a lot of reviews on air bed mattresses and this one is great below. The twin size will fit in the bed

Or alternatively I just installed a bedrug in my Gladiator and it’s soft enough that one could sleep just on the bed itself. No different than if you slept on carpet at home in a sleeping bag.

We have an on ground and in bed. Love them both! It just leans back because of my hard bed cover that I didn't take off before setup. Late at night and didn't feel like being bothered. Haha. But, no complaints from the tent though!

looks better than the one I got. The back is straight up and mine is sloped. so not maximizing just wish there were more hooks instead of material to hold polls.
