French Bed Mattresses

French bed mattresses are custom-cut to match the unique angled corners and curved edges of French bed bases. Standard rectangular mattresses leave gaps and don't provide full coverage. The bespoke cutting process ensures the mattress fits precisely, maximising sleeping space and comfort while eliminating awkward gaps around the edges.

Measure the length, width, and any angles or curves of the bed base. Take measurements at the widest and longest points, noting where corners are cut or rounded. Most manufacturers provide measuring guides with templates. Accurate measurements are essential as each French bed mattress is cut specifically to these dimensions.

French bed mattresses typically range from 100mm to 200mm thick. Thicker mattresses provide better comfort and support but require adequate headroom. Consider the height of the bed base and overhead storage when selecting thickness. Most manufacturers offer 120mm, 150mm, and 180mm as standard options.

Yes, reputable manufacturers produce French bed mattresses to BS 7177 fire safety standards. This certification is typically required for motorhome and caravan insurance. The mattresses use flame-retardant materials and construction methods that comply with leisure vehicle regulations. Always verify certification before purchasing.

Lead times typically range from 7-14 working days depending on seasonal demand and current production capacity. Each mattress is made to order using the specific measurements provided. Peak holiday seasons may extend delivery times. Most UK manufacturers offer free delivery as standard for these custom mattresses.

French bed mattresses are available in various comfort grades including firm, medium, and soft options. Popular choices include memory foam, pocket sprung, and reflex foam constructions. The comfort level should match personal preferences and any specific support requirements. Most manufacturers offer sample materials to help with selection.

Quality French bed mattresses typically include guarantees ranging from 5-10 years depending on the manufacturer and materials used. The guarantee usually covers manufacturing defects and premature wear under normal use. Check guarantee terms before purchasing, as custom-made items may have different return policies than standard mattresses.
