Hinged Campervan Mattresses

A hinged campervan mattress has a fold line that allows it to bend around fixed furniture or obstacles. The hinge creates flexibility whilst maintaining support across both sections. Standard mattresses are rigid rectangles that cannot accommodate the complex shapes found in most campervan sleeping areas.

Measure each section of the sleeping area separately, noting where the hinge point needs to be. Include the exact position of any furniture or obstacles. Provide measurements for length, width, and any cut-outs required. Most manufacturers provide measuring guides to ensure accuracy.

Thickness typically ranges from 4 to 8 inches depending on the hinge mechanism and storage requirements. Thicker mattresses provide better comfort but may not fold as easily. Consider how the mattress will be stored when not in use and any height restrictions in the sleeping area.

Yes, memory foam is available for hinged mattresses, though it may be less flexible than other materials. Pocket sprung and reflex foam options often work better for hinged designs as they maintain their shape through repeated folding. The foam must also meet BS 7177 fire safety standards.

Custom hinged mattresses typically take 7-14 working days to manufacture and deliver. Lead times vary depending on seasonal demand and current production capacity. Free UK delivery is standard from most manufacturers. Rush orders may be available for an additional fee during quieter periods.

Most quality hinged campervan mattresses include guarantees ranging from 5-10 years depending on the materials used. The guarantee typically covers manufacturing defects and premature wear of the hinge mechanism. BS 7177 fire safety certification is included to meet insurance requirements.

A well-made hinged campervan mattress provides the same comfort as a standard mattress when lying flat. The hinge is designed to support body weight without creating a noticeable ridge. Quality materials and proper construction ensure the mattress remains comfortable for extended use.
