Fixed Bed Motorhome Mattresses

Fixed bed motorhome mattresses are cut to exact measurements including specific cut-outs for wheel arches, storage boxes, and heating systems. They're made with BS 7177 certified materials to meet fire safety requirements for motorhome insurance. Standard domestic mattresses don't fit the unique shapes and dimensions found in motorhome fixed beds.

Measure the length, width, and note any cut-outs or curves. Take measurements at the widest and longest points. Mark the position and size of wheel arch cut-outs, storage compartments, or heating ducts. Most manufacturers provide a measuring guide or template to ensure accurate dimensions for the perfect fit.

Thickness typically ranges from 4 inches to 8 inches, depending on the available headroom in the motorhome. Thicker mattresses provide more comfort but require adequate clearance above the bed. Most fixed bed motorhomes accommodate 6-inch mattresses comfortably whilst maintaining sufficient headroom for sitting up in bed.

Lead times typically range from 7-14 working days depending on seasonal demand and current production capacity. Each mattress is made to order using the specific measurements provided. Free UK delivery is standard. During peak seasons like spring and summer, lead times may extend slightly due to increased demand.

BS 7177 fire safety certification is included as standard to meet motorhome insurance requirements. Keep proof of purchase for guarantee claims.

However, it can retain heat and may feel firmer in cold weather. Consider the motorhome's heating and ventilation when choosing memory foam for year-round comfort.

All motorhome mattresses must meet BS 7177 fire safety standards to comply with insurance requirements. This certification ensures the materials resist ignition and limit flame spread. The certification should be clearly stated by the manufacturer. Without proper certification, insurance claims may be affected in the event of a fire.
