Over Cab Motorhome Mattresses

Over cab mattresses are made to your exact measurements rather than standard sizes. Most over cab areas measure between 1800mm-2000mm in length and 1400mm-1600mm in width, but dimensions vary significantly between manufacturers and models. The mattress is cut to follow any curved corners, cut-outs for lights or cupboards, and the specific shape of your over cab area.

Measure the length, width, and any angles or curves of your over cab sleeping area. Note the positions of any fixtures like reading lights or cupboard handles that require cut-outs. Take measurements at the widest and longest points, then mark any areas where the mattress needs to be shaped differently. Most manufacturers provide measuring guides specific to over cab areas.

Over cab mattresses typically range from 100mm to 150mm thick. The thickness depends on the available headroom in your over cab area and personal comfort preferences. Thicker mattresses provide better support but reduce headroom when sitting up. Memory foam and pocket spring options are available in various thicknesses to suit different over cab heights.

Lead times typically range from 7-14 working days depending on seasonal demand and current production capacity. Each mattress is handmade to your specific measurements, which requires individual cutting and construction. Peak holiday seasons may extend delivery times slightly. Free UK delivery is standard, with the mattress vacuum-packed for easier handling through motorhome doors.

Yes, over cab mattresses must meet BS 7177 fire safety certification for motorhome insurance compliance. All materials used in construction are tested and certified to meet these safety standards. The fire safety certification covers both the foam core and fabric covering. This certification is essential for insurance purposes and legal requirements for motorhome sleeping areas.

Memory foam is available for over cab mattresses in various densities and thicknesses. Memory foam provides pressure relief and body contouring, which can improve sleep quality in the confined over cab space. Pocket spring and reflex foam options are also available. The choice depends on personal comfort preferences, weight considerations, and the available thickness in your over cab area.

Guarantees typically range from 5-10 years depending on the mattress type and construction. Memory foam mattresses often carry longer guarantees than basic foam options. The guarantee covers manufacturing defects and premature wear under normal use. Proper ventilation and regular turning help maintain the mattress condition and ensure the guarantee remains valid throughout the coverage period.
