Cold Foam Mattresses

Cold foam mattresses are available in thicknesses from 2 inches up to 8 inches. Most motorhome and caravan applications use 4-6 inch thickness for optimal comfort and space efficiency. Thicker options provide more cushioning but reduce headroom. The foam density remains consistent across all thickness options, maintaining the supportive characteristics that make cold foam popular for mobile accommodation.

Quality cold foam mattresses typically last 8-12 years with regular use. The high-density foam structure resists sagging and maintains support longer than traditional sprung mattresses. Cold foam doesn't develop permanent body impressions like memory foam, making it particularly suitable for guest beds or occasional use applications. Proper ventilation and occasional rotation help maximise lifespan.

Cold foam mattresses work well for couples because they minimise motion transfer. When one person moves, the other feels less disturbance compared to sprung mattresses. The firm, consistent support accommodates different body weights without creating a slope towards the heavier sleeper. Custom sizing means couples can get the exact dimensions needed for their specific bed base.

Cold foam maintains consistent firmness regardless of temperature, whilst memory foam softens with body heat. Cold foam provides immediate support without the sinking sensation of memory foam. It responds quickly when changing position, making it easier to move during sleep. Cold foam also offers better ventilation, reducing heat retention that some people experience with memory foam products.

Cold foam mattresses work on most bed base types including solid platforms, slatted bases, and adjustable frames. Slats should be no more than 3 inches apart for proper support. The foam distributes weight evenly, so it doesn't require the specific support zones that pocket sprung mattresses need. Adequate ventilation underneath helps prevent moisture buildup.

Cold foam mattresses are delivered uncompressed in their full size, maintaining the foam structure. Custom sizes are carefully packaged to prevent damage during transit. UK delivery is included and typically takes 7-14 working days depending on current production schedules. The mattresses arrive ready to use immediately without any expansion time required.

All cold foam mattresses meet BS 7177 fire safety standards, which is required for motorhome and caravan insurance compliance. The foam materials are treated to resist ignition and slow flame spread. Certification documentation is provided with each mattress for insurance purposes. These safety standards don't affect the comfort or durability of the foam.
