Custom Motorhome Mattresses

Measure the length, width, and note any corner cuts or unusual shapes. Take measurements at mattress level, not floor level, as bed bases can be narrower. Mark any obstacles like wardrobes or walls that require the mattress to be shaped around. Most manufacturers provide measuring guides and templates to ensure accuracy before production begins.

Lead times usually range from 7-14 working days depending on seasonal demand and current production capacity. Peak periods like spring and early summer often extend delivery times as more people prepare for touring season. Most manufacturers provide estimated delivery dates when ordering and offer tracking once dispatched.

Yes, all motorhome mattresses must meet BS 7177 fire safety standards for insurance compliance. This certification is included as standard with custom mattresses from reputable manufacturers. The certification ensures the materials and construction meet the specific fire resistance requirements for recreational vehicles and caravans.

Most people choose between 150mm-200mm for optimal comfort, though this depends on your storage height and personal preference. Thinner options around 100-120mm work for occasional use or where headroom is limited. Consider that thicker mattresses provide better support but reduce storage space underneath the bed.

Yes, memory foam is available alongside pocket springs, reflex foam, and hybrid combinations. Memory foam works well in motorhomes as it's temperature-sensitive and moulds to body shape. However, it can feel warmer than spring mattresses, which some people find uncomfortable in summer touring conditions.

Guarantees typically range from 5-10 years depending on the manufacturer and materials chosen. Pocket spring mattresses often carry longer guarantees than foam-only options. The guarantee usually covers manufacturing defects and premature sagging but excludes normal wear from regular use or damage from damp conditions.

Most UK manufacturers include free delivery as standard, though some may charge for remote locations or express services. Mattresses are usually delivered compressed and rolled for easier handling through narrow motorhome doors. Check delivery options when ordering, especially if you need the mattress delivered to a campsite or storage facility.
