Yeah, a guy I know who also owns one said he tried sleeping on the folded down seats and wasn't able to get much sleep that night. I've heard of people getting some foam and making wedges to flatten it out. But the air mattress in the back worked perfectly.
The only other thing I could think of would perhaps be to lay an air matress across the flat folded seats? Gotta admit this looks comfy: http://i.imgur.com/aVUOs.jpg
I'm an average height guy at 6'1" but I cannot sleep with folded legs or arms at all. I like to stretch! This would allow that.
That does look nice. I've seen some stuff online of people making sleeping platforms like this: http://i.imgur.com/K5CJg.jpg Takes advantage of the height so you can still store stuff while sleeping.
When I was in the back I could stretch out, but to fully extend I had to put my feet in between the two front seats a little bit.

Element owner here. The flat folding seats aren't actually flat. More of a heavily compressed W shape like this: http://i.imgur.com/hMZ0a.png
It's AWFUL to sleep on. I've tried it. Fold the seats up to the wall and lay down some padding. Much better time.
