Ok, so I am 6-4"......am I too big to sleep comfortably in a normal size rig? Would I need to assume the fetal position, or will I be forever uncomfortable?

Cascadia mattresses are 80" long, so you should be okay.
Puppage Thanks this. -
I m 6'7" and can stretch out in a sleeper comfortably. Most sleepers are at least 8 feet wide from wall to wall
Puppage Thanks this. -

Get a job hauling bulls they never sleep!
bigkev1115 Thanks this. -
I am 6'2" and the only truck I have been in that I could not stretch out in was an older Volvo.
The only problem I have had is leg room. In every Freightliner I have driven, I have had to have the seat moved back and remounted to the floor. With that said, all of my height is in my legs, the same may not apply for you.Last edited: Jun 7, 2014

I am 6'4" as well you will fit. That was my worry too since everything caters to small people.
Puppage Thanks this. -
My dad (6'4) sat in my old pete and he had headroom issues. Any newer truck has better head room. The pete 379 midroof didn't have much headroom unless the seat was on the floor. (air out of it) Sleeper was more then big enough. Another concern is the NEW mid roof (or is it lowroof) petes. The kind arnold and USX have dont have very much clearance to stand in back. I barely could at 5'11.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention in a condo sleeper I can stand straight up and stretch my arms up to the roof with no problem either

I'm 6'8" and have no problem stretching out in my prostar. Good legroom in the drivers chair and I can stand up straight in my mid roof sleeper.
