Do you mind me asking which size you went with, and if you have any pictures to share with it in your R1S?
I have the single long. It wasn’t for my R1S because I don’t have it yet. I use my ExPed for car camping in a tent.

I am not sure which size will be best in the R1S. I am looking forward to finding out though!

They make a duo 15 now too which is supposed to be great, plus they're 25% off through this weekend at REI

The MegaMat Duo 10 M fits perfectly in the back of the R1S. That's what we use when camping.
Looking at this...the Duo M is 72"x41", the LW is 77"x51", and the space is (from earlier in this thread) 81"x42". So "fits perfectly" in width, but is 72" really a good fit when the space could take up to 81"? I'm 6' so would prefer the length of their L.

On the Duo M vs LW, I visited REI yesterday on this very issue. The fellow that helped me said, "it's better not to have the Exped bow up on the sides. Get extra pillows to extend the length and go with the Duo M." I took his advice.

Been debating xped duo m vs a memory foam like the one linked below for sleeping in my R1S. I have read great things about the comfort of both, and I suspect comfort is subjective based on weight and other sleep differentiators. Question is any lean (150 lb 5'11") people that develop pressure points easily (I can only sleep on my side on a memory foam mattress, and even so not the whole night) able to comment on which is more comfortable? Guessing very few have used both but if you have please comment. Thanks.

I picked up the Exped in medium from REI yesterday after checking out this thread! Looking forward to testing it out.

Look what I found :) search air bed R1S on Amazon. The deminsions are wrong on the listing and it fits perfectly. Slept on it and it's great.
