Single Layer Construction

Essential Campervan Mattress construction diagram
  1. Hypoallergenic Zip-Off Cover

    A breathable, hypoallergenic cover that unzips in seconds and machine-washes — handy for clearing out the damp, doggy, end-of-trip smell that settles into a shut-up van over a weekend away.

  2. Quality Single-Layer Foam Core

    One solid slab of proper orthopaedic reflex foam — a single core rather than a stack of layers, which is how we keep the cost low without skimping on what actually holds you up. Firm, level support that won't dip in the middle of a rock-and-roll bed, trip after trip.

Why Choose Essential?

Cheap doesn't have to mean flimsy. The Essential is a genuine orthopaedic mattress built around one firm reflex-foam core that keeps your back properly supported, whether you're parked up for a weekend or living in the van. We use a single quality layer instead of stacking several, and that simplicity is exactly what lets us offer it at the lowest price in the range.

It's light enough to wrestle into a tight rock-and-roll bed or a narrow bunk single-handed, and there are four depths from 12.5 cm up to 25 cm, each at its own price. That strong per-unit value makes it the one converters, hire fleets and dealers come back to when they're fitting out vans in numbers — ask us about bulk pricing.

Ideal for:

  • Buyers after firm orthopaedic support without paying premium prices
  • Anyone who sleeps best on a firmer, well-anchored surface
  • Weekenders and full-time van-lifers alike
  • Converters, hire fleets and dealers kitting out vans in bulk (bulk pricing available)
  • Anyone needing a made-to-measure depth anywhere from 12.5–25 cm

Care & Maintenance

Mattress

  • No-flip build — sleep on the marked side only
  • Turn it head-to-foot now and then so it wears evenly
  • Hypoallergenic throughout, so it naturally shrugs off dust mites

Zip-Off Cover

  • Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle
  • Use mild liquid detergent — no bleach
  • Air dry only
  • Iron on low if needed
  • Wash every 1–2 months

Measuring Guide

Tell us the exact dimensions and we cut the foam to match; once the cover goes on it adds a touch to the final size.

If your bed slots into a snug recess — as many VW and self-build layouts do — or you want a little slack for tucking sheets in, shave a bit off your figures. It comes down to what you prefer.
