SWB stands for Short Wheel Base - the most compact campervan category. These vehicles typically measure under 5.4 metres in length and include popular models like the VW Transporter, Ford Transit Custom, and Vauxhall Vivaro conversions. Standard domestic mattresses don't fit the unique sleeping areas in SWB campervans, which often feature irregular shapes, wheel arch cut-outs, or space-saving designs. Made-to-measure mattresses solve this problem by matching exact dimensions and contours. Each mattress gets cut to precise measurements, ensuring maximum comfort within tight spaces whilst meeting BS 7177 fire safety requirements for vehicle insurance compliance.

SWB Campervan Mattress FAQs
Every mattress gets made to exact measurements provided by the customer. Common SWB layouts include fixed beds around 1800mm x 1200mm, rock and roll beds typically 1100mm x 1850mm, and side dinette conversions. Measurements must account for wheel arches, storage boxes, and curved walls. Templates or detailed drawings help ensure accurate sizing for complex shapes.
Thickness depends on available headroom and storage requirements. Most SWB conversions work well with 100-125mm thick mattresses, providing good comfort without reducing interior height excessively. Thinner 75mm options suit pop-top roofs or where the mattress needs to fold. Rock and roll bed mechanisms typically require specific thickness ranges for proper operation.
Yes, memory foam options are available alongside standard foam and pocket spring constructions. Memory foam provides excellent pressure relief but can feel warm in confined spaces. Standard reflex foam offers good support with better temperature regulation. All foam types meet BS 7177 fire safety standards required for motorhome insurance.
Lead times typically range from 7-14 working days depending on seasonal demand and current production capacity. Each mattress gets handmade to order, so production cannot begin until measurements are confirmed. Peak holiday seasons may extend delivery times. Free UK delivery is included, with tracking information provided once dispatch occurs.
Guarantees up to 10 years are available depending on the construction type chosen. This covers manufacturing defects and premature sagging under normal use. The guarantee doesn't cover damage from incorrect measurements, accidental damage, or normal wear. Proper support underneath the mattress is essential for guarantee validity.
Measure length, width, and note any cut-outs for wheel arches or furniture. Use a flexible tape measure for curved areas. Mark corners that need rounding and provide radius measurements. Photos help clarify complex shapes. Many converters provide templates or technical drawings that can be used instead of manual measurements.
