sterling caravan mattress

Sterling caravan mattresses are made to your exact measurements rather than standard sizes. Each Sterling model has different bed dimensions depending on the layout and year. Common sizes include modified doubles, fixed island beds, and corner bed configurations. Measure your existing bed base or provide your caravan model details for accurate sizing. Most Sterling beds have slightly non-standard dimensions that require custom cutting for a proper fit.

Measure the bed base rather than the old mattress, as mattresses can compress over time. Use a tape measure to record length, width, and note any cut corners or curves. Take measurements in centimetres for accuracy. If the bed has an unusual shape, create a paper template by tracing around the base. Alternatively, provide your Sterling caravan model and year, as many bed dimensions are standardised within model ranges.

Most Sterling caravan mattresses range from 10cm to 20cm thick, depending on your bed base height and storage requirements. Check the clearance between your bed base and any overhead cupboards or windows. Standard thickness is typically 15cm, which provides good comfort while fitting most Sterling layouts. Thicker mattresses offer more comfort but may reduce headroom or interfere with bed mechanisms in some models.

Yes, all Sterling caravan mattresses must comply with BS 7177 fire safety standards to meet insurance requirements. This certification ensures the mattress materials have appropriate flame resistance for use in caravans and motorhomes. The fire safety compliance is included as standard and doesn't affect comfort or durability. Always check your insurance policy requires this standard, as most caravan insurers mandate BS 7177 compliance for bedding.

Sterling caravan mattresses typically take 7-14 working days to manufacture and deliver, depending on current demand and seasonal factors. Spring and summer months may have longer lead times due to increased caravan preparation activity. Free UK delivery is included as standard. Rush orders may be available during quieter periods. Delivery is arranged once the mattress is ready, with tracking information provided.

Yes, Sterling caravan mattresses are available in various materials including memory foam, pocket springs, reflex foam, and hybrid combinations. Memory foam provides pressure relief and temperature sensitivity, while pocket springs offer traditional support with good ventilation. Consider the weight implications for your caravan's payload limits, as some materials are heavier than others. Firmness levels can be customised regardless of the material chosen.

Sterling caravan mattresses typically come with guarantees ranging from 5 to 10 years, depending on the materials and construction method chosen. The guarantee covers manufacturing defects and premature sagging under normal use conditions. Higher specification materials often carry longer guarantee periods. Keep proof of purchase and follow any care instructions to maintain guarantee validity. The guarantee doesn't cover normal wear or damage from misuse.
