Thin mattresses are designed for spaces with limited headroom or specific height requirements. Standard mattresses often prove too thick for bunk beds, cabin beds, or converted spaces where ceiling height is restricted. These slimmer alternatives typically range from 10-15cm thick, compared to standard mattresses at 20-25cm. Custom-made thin mattresses solve fitting problems by being cut to exact measurements for unusual bed frames or tight spaces. They maintain comfort despite reduced thickness through carefully selected foam densities and construction methods. Made-to-measure options ensure perfect fit while meeting fire safety standards required for caravans and motorhomes.

Thin Mattress FAQs
Thin mattresses typically range from 10cm to 15cm thick. The most popular thicknesses are 10cm, 12cm and 15cm. Thinner options down to 8cm are possible for very restricted spaces. The exact thickness depends on the available headroom and comfort requirements. Custom thicknesses can be manufactured to precise measurements.
Yes, thin mattresses can provide adequate comfort through high-density foam construction and proper support layers. Memory foam and reflex foam combinations work well in thinner profiles. The key is selecting appropriate foam densities that compress less whilst maintaining support. Custom-made options allow for tailored comfort levels.
Lead times typically range from 7-14 working days depending on seasonal demand and current production capacity. Standard sizes may be available sooner, whilst custom measurements require manufacturing time. Free UK delivery is included. Rush orders may be possible for urgent requirements with additional charges.
Yes, thin mattresses can be cut to precise measurements for unusual bed frames or tight spaces. Custom shapes including rounded corners, cut-out sections, or angled edges are possible. Measurements should be taken carefully as custom mattresses cannot be returned for incorrect sizing.
Yes, properly manufactured thin mattresses meet BS 7177 fire safety certification required for motorhome and caravan insurance. This applies to both the foam core and fabric covering. Always check certification is included, especially for mobile accommodation where compliance is mandatory for insurance purposes.
High-density reflex foam provides good support in thin profiles. Memory foam adds comfort but requires careful density selection to avoid excessive sinking. Latex offers durability and breathability. Combination constructions using different foam layers can optimise both support and comfort within limited thickness constraints.
Thin mattresses can accommodate heavier sleepers through high-density foam construction, typically 50kg/m³ or higher. The reduced thickness means less material to compress, so foam quality becomes more critical. Custom-made options allow for specific density requirements based on weight and sleeping preferences.
