FAQs

What type of mattress is best for a campervan?
Choosing the best mattress for a campervan often depends on personal comfort preferences and space limitations. Memory foam mattresses are popular due to their support and ability to contour to the body, whilst pocket-sprung options provide great bounce and support.

How do I measure my campervan for a mattress?
To measure for a mattress, take the length and width of the sleeping area in your campervan. It's essential to account for any obstructions, such as fixed furniture or wheel arches, and consider the depth as well. Always measure twice to ensure accuracy.

Can I use a regular mattress in my campervan?
While you can technically use a regular mattress, it's not always advisable. Regular mattresses are often too heavy and bulkier for campervan use. It's better to choose a lightweight and custom-sized mattress designed for campervans to maximise space and ease of use.

How thick should my campervan mattress be?
The thickness of your campervan mattress can vary, but generally, 4 to 6 inches is suitable for most setups. Thicker mattresses can offer more comfort, but ensure they don’t take up too much headroom or space.

Are there any specific materials I should consider for campervan mattresses?
When selecting materials, look for breathable and moisture-wicking fabrics to prevent dampness in the confined space. High-density foam or natural latex can provide support and durability, while keeping the weight manageable.

How can I keep my mattress clean while travelling?
To keep your mattress clean, consider using a removable, washable mattress protector. Regularly airing out the mattress and cleaning any spills and stains promptly will help maintain hygiene in your campervan.

Will a campervan mattress be uncomfortable for sleeping long-term?
Not necessarily. Many campervan mattresses are designed for comfort over long periods. However, personal preference plays a huge role. It’s advisable to try a mattress out before committing if possible, and ensure it provides adequate support for your sleeping style.

Can I customise my campervan mattress?
Yes, many suppliers offer customisation options. You can choose the size, thickness, and material to fit your specific needs and ensure the perfect fit for your campervan. Tailoring your mattress can help enhance your comfort during travels.

How do I ensure my mattress stays in place while driving?
Installing non-slip mattress pads or using Velcro strips can help ensure your mattress stays put while on the road. Additionally, securing the mattress with straps or ties can prevent movement during travel.
