Left Notch Motorhome Mattresses

Measure the overall length and width of the bed base first. Then measure the notch dimensions - its width, depth, and distance from the corners. Note which corner the notch is positioned in. Draw a simple diagram with all measurements marked clearly. This ensures the mattress fits perfectly around any fixed furniture or structural elements in the bedroom area.

Thickness typically ranges from 4 inches to 8 inches, depending on the bed base height and headroom available. Most motorhomes work well with 5-6 inch mattresses. Thicker mattresses provide more comfort but check ceiling height when sitting on the bed. The mattress needs to fit within the existing bed frame without creating clearance issues.

Yes, memory foam is available for custom notched mattresses. Other options include pocket springs, reflex foam, and hybrid constructions. Memory foam provides good pressure relief but can retain heat in small spaces. Consider ventilation in the bedroom area when choosing materials. All foam types can be cut to accommodate the notch shape required.

Yes, motorhome mattresses must comply with BS 7177 fire safety regulations. This certification is required for motorhome insurance compliance. All custom-made mattresses include the appropriate fire-resistant treatments and materials. The certification applies regardless of the mattress shape or any notches cut into the design. Documentation is provided with each mattress.

Lead times typically range from 7-14 working days depending on current production capacity and seasonal demand. Custom mattresses require manufacturing time as each one is cut to individual specifications. Free UK delivery is included. Peak seasons like spring may extend lead times slightly as demand increases before the touring season begins.

Custom-made mattresses cannot typically be returned as they're manufactured to specific measurements provided by the customer. Double-check all measurements before ordering. Most manufacturers offer guidance on measuring techniques to ensure accuracy. Some companies provide measurement verification services to confirm dimensions before production begins. Guarantees cover manufacturing defects and materials.

Quality varies by materials and construction methods. Pocket spring mattresses often last 8-10 years with proper care. Memory foam typically lasts 6-8 years. Cheaper foam constructions may need replacement after 4-5 years. Regular turning and proper ventilation extend mattress life. Many manufacturers offer guarantees ranging from 1-10 years depending on the specification chosen.
