replacement caravan mattresses

Measure the bed base length, width, and note any curves or cut-off corners. Use a flexible tape measure for accuracy. Measure the existing mattress only if it fits perfectly. Take photos of unusual shapes. Most suppliers provide measuring guides to ensure precise dimensions for the replacement.

Most caravan beds accommodate 4-6 inch thick mattresses comfortably. Check the gap between your bed base and any overhead storage or windows. Thicker isn't always better - a quality 4-inch foam mattress often provides better support than a cheap thick one.

Quality replacement caravan mattresses carry BS 7177 certification, which most caravan insurance policies require. Always verify this certification before purchasing. Non-compliant mattresses can invalidate insurance claims. Reputable manufacturers include certification details with every custom mattress order.

Lead times range from 7-14 working days depending on seasonal demand and current production capacity. Spring and summer see higher demand as people prepare for touring season. Custom cutting and quality checks add time but ensure proper fit and safety compliance.

Yes, memory foam options are available for replacement caravan mattresses. Choose medium-density memory foam for caravan use as it performs better in varying temperatures. High-density foam can become very firm in cold conditions, while low-density may not provide adequate support.

Quality manufacturers offer 5-10 year guarantees covering sagging, foam breakdown, and manufacturing defects. The guarantee length often reflects foam quality. Check what's covered - some exclude normal wear or damage from damp conditions common in stored caravans.

Prices vary by size, foam type, and thickness. Basic foam mattresses start around £150 for smaller sizes, while luxury memory foam options can exceed £400. Custom shapes or unusual sizes may incur additional cutting charges. Free UK delivery is typically included.
