custom memory foam toppers

Measure the length, width, and note any unusual shapes like rounded corners or cut-outs. Take measurements at the widest and longest points. Include details about any curves, angles, or obstacles like wardrobes. Accurate measurements ensure a perfect fit. Most manufacturers provide measurement guides and accept hand-drawn templates for complex shapes.

Thickness depends on the existing mattress condition and comfort preference. 2-3 inches suits firm mattresses needing moderate softening. 4-5 inches works for worn mattresses requiring significant comfort improvement. Thicker toppers provide more pressure relief but reduce headroom in confined spaces like motorhomes.

Lead times typically range from 7-14 working days depending on seasonal demand and current production capacity. Complex shapes may require additional time for cutting and quality checks. Summer months often see longer lead times due to increased caravan and motorhome activity. Standard delivery is usually free across the UK.

Quality custom toppers meet BS 7177 fire safety certification required for caravan and motorhome insurance. This certification ensures the foam meets strict flammability standards for enclosed living spaces. Always verify certification before purchasing, especially for recreational vehicle use where insurance compliance is mandatory.

Returns are typically not accepted for custom-made items cut to specific measurements. The cutting process makes toppers unsuitable for resale. Most manufacturers offer measurement verification services before cutting to prevent fitting issues. Some provide guarantees against manufacturing defects but not measurement errors.

Density typically ranges from 40-60kg/m³ for good quality toppers. Higher density foam lasts longer and provides better support but costs more. Lower density foam feels softer initially but may compress faster. Medium density around 50kg/m³ offers the best balance of comfort, durability, and value for most applications.

Most toppers rely on their weight and friction to stay in place. Some include corner straps or elastic bands for secure fitting. Custom-cut toppers fit so precisely that movement is minimal. The exact fit eliminates the shifting common with standard-sized toppers, reducing the need for additional securing methods.
