Default Recommend an OP watermelon for raised beds

I have a raised bed that is about 18 inches deep and is 5 feet wide by 10 feet long. Can anyone recommend an open pollinated or heirloom watermelon that can be grown in this sized bed, please? I am not interested in trying to trellis a melon so these will be lying on straw in the beds. Another thing I'm wondering is how many vines will fit into a bed this size? I'm guessing only two but I don't really know. Thanks in advance for any advice.
