memory foam mattresses

Memory foam mattresses are available in thicknesses from 4 inches up to 10 inches. Thicker options provide more pressure relief but require adequate headroom. Most caravan and motorhome applications work well with 6-8 inch thickness, balancing comfort with space constraints. The memory foam layer typically measures 2-4 inches, with a supportive base foam underneath.

Lead times range from 7-14 working days depending on current production capacity and seasonal demand. Each mattress is cut to exact measurements after the order is placed. Peak periods like spring and summer may extend delivery times slightly. Free UK delivery is included, with tracking information provided once the mattress is dispatched.

Yes, all memory foam mattresses carry BS 7177 fire safety certification, which is required for motorhome and caravan insurance compliance. The materials meet strict flammability standards without using chemical fire retardants. Certification documents are provided with each mattress for insurance purposes.

Memory foam mattresses can be cut to most shapes including corner cuts, rounded ends, and angled sides. Complex shapes may require a paper template to ensure accuracy. Island bed layouts, fixed seating areas, and boat berths with unusual dimensions are all manageable. Simple rectangular shapes with corner cuts are the most common requests.

Memory foam density typically ranges from 3-5 pounds per cubic foot. Higher density foam lasts longer and provides better support but responds more slowly to movement. Medium density (4 PCF) suits most people, offering good durability and reasonable response time. Heavier individuals may prefer higher density options for better long-term support.

Measure the exact space three times - length, width, and note any corner cuts or unusual features. Measure at mattress level, not the bed base, as walls may taper. Round measurements down to the nearest quarter inch to ensure the mattress fits easily. Take photos of unusual shapes and note which end is the head of the bed.

Memory foam mattresses typically come with guarantees up to 10 years, depending on the specific foam grade chosen. The guarantee covers manufacturing defects and premature foam breakdown but not normal wear or damage from misuse. Higher density foams generally carry longer guarantee periods due to their improved durability and resistance to body impressions.
