Luton Motorhome Mattresses

Luton beds vary significantly between manufacturers and models. Each mattress is cut to the exact measurements provided rather than standard sizes. Most Luton beds measure approximately 1900-2000mm in length, with widths ranging from 1350-1500mm at the widest point. The curved front section and tapered sides mean precise templating is essential for proper fit.

Remove the existing mattress and measure the bed base at multiple points. Record the maximum length, width at the head end, width at the foot end, and any curves or cut-outs. Creating a paper template helps capture the exact shape. Many suppliers provide measurement guides specific to Luton bed configurations to ensure accuracy.

Standard thickness ranges from 100-150mm, depending on the available headroom in the overcab area. Measure the distance from the bed base to the ceiling when the bed is in use. Allow at least 600mm clearance above the mattress surface for comfortable sitting. Thicker mattresses provide better comfort but reduce headroom significantly.

Memory foam is available for Luton mattresses, though it adds weight to the overcab area. High-density reflex foam offers similar pressure relief with better temperature regulation and lighter weight. Both materials can be cut to the irregular Luton shape whilst maintaining their supportive properties throughout the mattress area.

Yes, BS 7177 fire safety certification is mandatory for motorhome mattresses to meet insurance requirements. All reputable manufacturers provide this certification as standard. The certification ensures the mattress materials meet strict fire resistance standards required for recreational vehicles and commercial accommodation.

Lead times range from 7-14 working days depending on seasonal demand and current production capacity. Peak holiday seasons may extend delivery times slightly. Most suppliers offer free UK delivery as standard. Custom cutting and quality checks add time compared to standard mattresses but ensure proper fit.

Quality mattresses last 8-12 years with regular use, similar to home mattresses. The irregular shape doesn't affect durability when properly manufactured. Many suppliers offer guarantees up to 10 years. Rotating the mattress periodically and using appropriate ventilation helps maximise lifespan in the motorhome environment.
