A caravan mattress made for your bed — not off the shelf
The mattress your caravan came with was built to a price, not for sleeping — usually thin, hard and rarely comfortable. We hand-make a replacement to your caravan’s exact bed, in the depth, firmness and shape you choose, so it fits to the complex shape of your bed. Over 40 years of British mattress-making in every one.
Cut to fit every caravan bed
Island Beds
Rounded or cut corners and a walk-round shape — cut to sit flush all the way around with no gap.
French Beds
The angled corner cut away for washroom access, matched exactly so it beds tight to the wall.
Fixed & Transverse Beds
Rear fixed doubles and transverse beds, made wall-to-wall to your van’s precise measurements.
Bunk & Children’s Beds
Snug, made-to-measure mattresses for fixed bunks, mid-sleepers and children’s berths.
Corner & Cut-Out Shapes
Wheel-arch notches, tapered ends and offside or nearside cut-outs — cut to your sketch.
Split & Folding Beds
Two-piece and hinged mattresses that make a tight caravan doorway or staircase easy.
Find Your Exact Caravan Bed Shape
Made to your exact measurements in our Birmingham workshop. Choose your bed type below — or tell us your caravan make and model and we'll find the right shape for you.
Offside Caravan Mattresses
Offside (driver's side) French bed mattresses with a left-hand cut corner. The most common French bed configuration, found in the majority of Swift, Bailey and Elddis layouts.
Nearside Caravan Mattresses
Nearside (passenger side) French bed mattresses with a right-hand cut corner. Positioned on the left-hand side of the caravan to create walkway space to the bathroom.
Island Bed Mattresses
Replacement mattresses for fixed rear island beds. Curved or rounded corners on both sides for easy walkaround access. The most popular caravan bed layout.
Island Beds with Bolster
Two-piece island bed mattresses with a separate bolster section. Choose a head-end bolster for day-to-night conversion or a foot-end bolster for under-bed storage access.
Shaped Rectangular Mattresses
Rectangular mattresses with one or more cut corners to fit around wheel arches, wardrobes or caravan furniture. Custom cut to your exact angle and dimensions.
Split Caravan Mattresses
Two, three or four-piece mattresses that fold or hinge for easy access to under-bed storage. You choose exactly where the split goes.
Round Circular Mattresses
Round mattresses and circle mattresses cut to any diameter — perfect for IKEA round bed replacements
Double Caravan Mattresses
Replacement double mattresses for caravan beds up to 137cm wide. Standard rectangular shape for fixed double beds, dinettes, and pull-out beds. Made to your measurements.
Single Caravan Mattresses
Replacement single mattresses for caravan bunk beds, children's berths, and narrow fixed beds. Rectangular and made to your exact length and width.

Caravan Mattress Questions, Answered
Sizing, shapes, weight and care — the things caravan owners ask us most.
What size is a caravan mattress?
Caravan mattresses rarely match standard home sizes. Common ones include a single around 180 × 70cm, a fixed double around 130–137 × 185–190cm, and island beds that vary by make and model. Many also have rounded corners, French corner cuts or wheel-arch notches, so measuring your own bed base is always the safest starting point.
Will a standard double or queen mattress fit in a caravan?
Usually not. A standard UK double (135 × 190cm) or queen (150 × 200cm) is bigger than most caravan beds and won't pass through a 60–70cm caravan door. Caravan ‘doubles’ are typically nearer 130–137cm wide. That's why we make to measure and vacuum-roll every mattress, so it fits your bed and gets through the door and corridors easily.
What is a caravan mattress bolster?
A bolster is a foam cushion that fills the gap in an extending or island bed. On a pull-out bed it flips into the gap at night to make a full sleeping area; on an island bed a foot-end bolster lifts for access to the storage underneath. We make bolsters to match your mattress exactly, with fabric or zip links.
Are caravan mattresses lighter than home mattresses?
Yes, and deliberately so. Caravans have strict payload limits, so ours use lighter foams and slimmer profiles (usually 10–15cm) that still give proper support. A typical caravan mattress weighs around 5–15kg versus 20–40kg for a home mattress, making it far easier to lift for airing and to manoeuvre through the door.
Can I leave bedding in the caravan between trips?
You can, but guard against damp: don't leave the bed made up, store bedding in breathable bags, crack a vent or use a moisture trap, and air the caravan regularly. Over winter many owners take bedding home to avoid that musty smell. Standing the mattress on edge to breathe helps too, just not for long periods.
Is it legal to sleep in a caravan?
Yes, provided you're parked legally: on a licensed site, your own land, or private land with permission. Wild-camping rules vary: England and Wales generally need the landowner's permission, while Scotland is more relaxed under the Outdoor Access Code. Always check local bylaws. The same applies to campervans and motorhomes — see CampervanMattresses.co.uk and MotorhomeMattresses.co.uk.
How much does a bespoke caravan mattress cost?
Most caravan mattresses fall between roughly £200 and £600, depending on size, depth, foam quality and how complex the shape is (corner cuts, curves and splits add work).
