Cut Corner Mattresses

Measure the full length and width first, then identify each corner that needs cutting. For rounded corners, measure the radius or create a paper template. Mark the distance from each edge where the curve begins. Take photos showing the space and any obstacles. Most manufacturers provide measuring guides and can work from detailed sketches with dimensions marked clearly.

Memory foam, reflex foam, pocket springs, and hybrid combinations are all available. Thickness typically ranges from 4 inches to 8 inches. All materials meet BS 7177 fire safety standards required for caravan and motorhome insurance. Covers include stretch knit, damask, or waterproof options. Firmness levels range from soft to extra firm depending on the foam density chosen.

Lead times range from 7-14 working days depending on current production capacity and seasonal demand. Summer months typically have longer lead times due to increased caravan usage. Rush orders may be available for urgent requirements. Free UK delivery is standard, with most mattresses arriving via courier. Tracking information is provided once the mattress is dispatched from the factory.

Returns are usually only accepted if there's a manufacturing error, as each mattress is made to specific measurements provided. Double-check all dimensions before ordering. Most manufacturers offer guarantees up to 10 years against defects in materials and workmanship. If measurements were incorrect, some companies may offer to remake the mattress at a reduced cost.

Custom cut corner mattresses typically cost 20-40% more than standard rectangular mattresses due to individual manufacturing requirements. Prices vary based on size, materials, and complexity of corner cuts. Multiple corner cuts or unusual shapes may incur additional charges. The investment is worthwhile for proper fit and comfort in confined spaces where standard mattresses simply won't work.

Most cut corner mattresses work with existing bed bases, slatted frames, or solid platforms. The base should support the mattress across its entire area, including around cut corners. Ensure slats are no more than 3 inches apart for proper support. Some very thick mattresses may need lower-profile bases to maintain headroom in confined spaces.

Yes, quality cut corner mattresses provide the same comfort and durability as standard mattresses. They're designed for regular use in static caravans, live-aboard boats, and full-time motorhomes. Choose appropriate thickness and firmness for your sleeping preferences. Higher-density foams and pocket spring options offer excellent long-term support for daily sleeping rather than occasional use.
