Posting this because when I was researching before our trip I couldn't find a definitive answer to whether a sleeping pad could comfortably fit in the OKW 1/2 bedroom laundry room.
Short version, yes it can and it's actually a pretty comfortable set-up.
Pictured Nemo Tensor XL extra wide. (76"x25"). 1st Image Is door open, 2nd image is door closed.
Longer version: Because the door opens inwards into the laundry room, you did need to slightly fold the sleeping mat over on itself during the day to be able to freely open the door without interference. Adding to the comfort of the set-up was that there is an outlet roughly to the side of where the head of the mat is located, and the light switch is also in the general vicinity over by the dryer. You could even lock the door if you so wished. Certainly more comfortable than when I use my mat tent camping!
As to the reason for the unconventional set-up, our travel party was 3 adults and 1 infant. Due to the addition of the 2 adults plus infant last minute, I was only able to switch my studio to a 1 bedroom (no 2 bedroom availability) and due to differences in hours (I was participating in rundisney races and the infant would go to bed much earlier than the adults) it made sense to leave the living room area free for people who were awake.
Hope this is helpful if anyone else ever considers this set-up.
