Transverse Bed Motorhome Mattresses

Sizes vary significantly depending on your specific motorhome model and layout. Most transverse beds range from 1200mm to 1900mm in width and 1400mm to 1800mm in length. Custom cutting accommodates wheel arch cut-outs, angled corners, and storage access hatches. Exact measurements are essential as standard sizes rarely fit properly in transverse bed configurations.

Measure the bed base length, width, and note any cut-outs or curves. Mark corners that need rounding and measure wheel arch intrusions. Take photos showing the bed base layout. Many suppliers provide measuring guides or templates. Double-check measurements as mistakes are costly with custom mattresses.

Thickness typically ranges from 100mm to 200mm depending on your bed base design and storage underneath. Check headroom when sitting up in bed. Thicker mattresses provide better comfort but reduce storage access. Most motorhome owners choose 120mm to 150mm as a practical compromise between comfort and functionality.

Yes, all motorhome mattresses must meet BS 7177 fire safety standards for insurance compliance. This certification is mandatory regardless of mattress type or construction. Reputable suppliers automatically include this certification. Always verify certification before purchase as non-compliant mattresses can invalidate insurance policies.

Memory foam is available in custom sizes for transverse beds. However, consider temperature sensitivity in motorhomes, as memory foam can become very firm in cold conditions and soft in heat. Hybrid constructions combining memory foam with pocket springs often work better in variable motorhome temperatures.

Custom mattresses typically take 7-14 working days depending on seasonal demand and current production capacity. Peak touring season (spring/summer) may extend lead times. Most suppliers offer free UK delivery. Rush orders may be available for urgent requirements, though additional charges usually apply.

Quality suppliers offer guarantees ranging from 5-10 years depending on construction and materials. Guarantees typically cover manufacturing defects and premature sagging. Custom-cut mattresses cannot usually be returned unless faulty, so accurate measuring is crucial. Check guarantee terms before ordering as conditions vary between suppliers.
