hobby caravan mattresses

Hobby caravan mattresses are made to your exact measurements rather than standard sizes. Common dimensions include island beds around 1500mm x 2000mm, fixed double beds with corner cut-outs, and compact singles. Each mattress is individually cut to match your specific bed base, including any unusual shapes or obstacles. Measurements are taken from the bed base itself, not the old mattress, to ensure accuracy.

Most hobby caravan mattresses range from 100mm to 150mm thick. Thinner options around 100mm work well for occasional use and weight-conscious touring. Medium thickness around 125mm provides good comfort for regular use. Thicker 150mm mattresses offer maximum comfort for full-time living. The ideal thickness depends on your bed base height, storage clearance, and personal comfort preferences.

Yes, all hobby caravan mattresses must comply with BS 7177 fire safety standards to meet insurance requirements. This certification ensures the materials resist ignition and slow flame spread. The foam cores and fabric covers are specifically tested and approved for use in recreational vehicles. Compliance certificates are provided with each mattress for insurance documentation purposes.

Hobby caravan mattress delivery typically takes 7-14 working days depending on seasonal demand and current production capacity. Peak touring season (spring/summer) may extend lead times slightly. Each mattress is individually manufactured to order, which requires production time. Free UK delivery is included, with tracking information provided once dispatch occurs. Rush orders may be accommodated during quieter periods.

Yes, hobby caravan mattresses are available in memory foam alongside traditional support foam options. Memory foam provides pressure relief and body contouring but may feel warmer in confined spaces. Temperature-sensitive memory foam can feel firmer in cold caravans and softer when heated. Many people prefer hybrid constructions with memory foam comfort layers over supportive foam cores for balanced performance.

Measure the bed base directly, not the existing mattress. Use a steel tape measure for accuracy. Record length, width, and note any corner cut-outs or unusual shapes. Measure cut-outs from the nearest straight edges. Take photos showing the bed base shape and any obstacles. Most suppliers provide measuring guides or can arrange site visits for complex shapes to ensure perfect fitting.

Hobby caravan mattresses typically come with guarantees ranging from 5-10 years depending on the foam grade and construction quality. Higher density foams generally carry longer guarantees. The guarantee covers manufacturing defects and premature foam degradation under normal use. Guarantees don't cover damage from damp conditions, physical damage, or normal wear from extended use. Registration is usually required within 30 days of delivery.
