french corner cut off caravan mattresses

Measure the length, width, and thickness of your existing mattress. For the cut-off corners, measure the radius of the curve or the straight-line distances from where the curve begins to where it ends. Take measurements in millimetres for accuracy. If the corner is completely square-cut rather than curved, measure the dimensions of the removed rectangle. Most manufacturers provide measurement guides to help you get accurate dimensions.

Common options include reflex foam, memory foam, pocket springs, and hybrid combinations. Memory foam provides pressure relief but can retain heat. Reflex foam offers good support and breathability. Pocket springs give traditional bounce and airflow. All materials must meet BS 7177 fire safety standards for caravan use. Thickness typically ranges from 100mm to 200mm depending on your base and height requirements.

Lead times typically range from 7-14 working days, depending on seasonal demand and current production capacity. Custom mattresses are made to order using your specific measurements and corner specifications. During peak caravan season (spring and summer), delivery may take longer. Most suppliers offer free UK delivery and will contact you with estimated delivery dates once your order is confirmed.

Yes, guarantees up to 10 years are available depending on the materials and manufacturer. Memory foam and pocket spring mattresses typically come with longer guarantees than basic reflex foam options. The guarantee covers manufacturing defects and premature wear under normal use. Custom-made mattresses may have different return policies due to their bespoke nature, so check terms before ordering.

Yes, all caravan mattresses must meet BS 7177 fire safety certification for insurance compliance. This applies to both the foam core and any fabric coverings used. Reputable manufacturers will provide certification details with your mattress. Never use a domestic mattress in a caravan as it won't meet the required fire safety standards and could invalidate your insurance.

Custom shapes typically cost 10-20% more than standard rectangular mattresses due to the additional cutting and shaping required. The exact price depends on size, materials, and complexity of the corner cuts. However, the perfect fit and improved comfort often justify the extra cost. Many suppliers offer payment plans for higher-end materials like memory foam or pocket springs.

Most manufacturers offer firmness options ranging from soft to extra firm. Memory foam comes in different densities affecting both support and feel. Reflex foam can be specified in various firmness grades. Pocket spring mattresses offer different spring tensions. Consider your sleeping position and weight when choosing firmness. Side sleepers typically prefer softer surfaces, while back and stomach sleepers often need firmer support.
