Introduction to Caravan Bedding Essentials

Good quality bedding makes a huge difference to your comfort during caravan holidays. The right caravan bedding sets turn your mobile home into a cozy place to sleep after a day of fun. Finding bedding that fits properly can be tricky because caravan beds often have unusual sizes and shapes compared to regular home beds.

At Caravan Mattresses, we know what caravan bedding needs to be like. Our affordable sets are made to fit the different bed shapes in touring caravans, static caravans, and motorhomes. We're offering a 5% discount on all our caravan bedding with the code ANGEL5, making it easier to get good quality bedding.

The right bedding isn't just about comfort—it's about making your caravan feel like home. Whether you need rectangular fitted sheets that stay in place while traveling or complete bedding sets that make your caravan look nice, we have options for every need and budget.

Understanding Caravan Bed Sizes and Configurations

One of the biggest challenges when buying caravan bedding is dealing with the non-standard sizes. Unlike home beds, caravan beds come in many shapes, including rectangular beds (most common), island beds (you can access from three sides), French beds (with one curved corner), beds with cut-off corners to fit the caravan layout, and bunk beds for family caravans.

Each of these shapes needs specially designed bedding to fit properly. Regular home bedding rarely works well in caravans - it's often too big or the wrong shape, which means it bunches up uncomfortably or slides off during the night.

When looking for caravan duvet covers and fitted sheets, you need to measure your caravan mattress carefully. Measure the length and width at the widest points, any cut-off corners or curves, and how deep your mattress is (especially important for fitted sheets).

Our bedding collections include options for all major caravan brands, including Swift Sterling and Hymer, so you can find the perfect fit for your specific caravan model.

Quality Materials for Caravan Bedding

The materials used in caravan bedding affect both comfort and practicality. Unlike home bedding, caravan bedding needs to handle the challenges of mobile living, including limited storage space for washing, possibly damp conditions, temperature changes, and being packed and unpacked more often.

Coachman branded bedding sets

Our affordable caravan bedding sets are made from materials chosen specifically for caravans. Cotton-polyester blends offer a good balance of comfort and practicality - they don't crease as much as pure cotton, dry faster after washing, last longer with frequent use, and are easier to pack in limited storage spaces.

If you're watching your budget, our microfiber bedding options give great value without sacrificing quality. They feel very soft, are lightweight and easy to store, last a long time without wearing out, and dry quickly - perfect for caravan life.

For those wanting luxury in their caravan, our premium cotton bedding sets offer hotel-quality comfort with high thread counts for extra softness, breathable fabric that helps control temperature, an elegant look that makes your caravan interior nicer, and sturdy construction that handles frequent washing.

Essential Components of Complete Caravan Bedding Sets

A good caravan bedding set should include everything you need for a comfortable night's sleep. Our affordable complete sets typically include fitted sheets, flat sheets, duvet covers, and pillowcases all designed specifically for caravan use.

Properly fitted sheets are maybe the most important part of caravan bedding. They have elastic edges that grip the mattress securely, are shaped to fit unusual mattress shapes and cut corners, have deep pockets to fit over thicker mattresses or toppers, and come in various sizes to fit different caravan bed types.

While some caravanners prefer just duvets, flat sheets give you more options for layering your bedding to control temperature. They can be used by themselves in warm weather, provide an extra layer between you and the mattress, and are easier to wash and dry than duvet covers.

Our caravan duvet covers combine style with practicality. They're sized specifically for caravan beds to avoid excess material, have easy-access fastening systems for quick bed making, come in matching designs to make your caravan interior look better, and are made from tough fabrics that handle frequent washing.

For complete comfort, think about adding mattress toppers for extra comfort, mattress protectors to make your caravan mattress last longer, extra pillowcases for longer trips, and decorative cushions to make it feel more like home.

Brand-Specific Caravan Bedding Solutions

Different caravan manufacturers often use specific bed sizes and shapes in their models. To make sure you get a perfect fit, we offer bedding collections made for popular caravan brands.

Swift Sterling caravans are among the most popular in the UK, and we offer bedding made specifically for their various models. Our Swift Sterling bedding includes fitted sheets shaped to Swift's unique bed shapes, matching duvet covers and pillowcases, options for both fixed beds and convertible dining areas, and bedding that matches Swift's interior design styles.

Hymer motorhomes and caravans have distinctive bed shapes that need specially sized bedding. Our Hymer bedding collection includes options for island beds with tapered ends, single bed options for twin layouts, over-cab bed solutions, and bedding that complements Hymer's premium interior look.

Besides our brand-specific collections, we offer custom-sized bedding for all major caravan manufacturers including Bailey, Elddis and Compass, Adria, and Coachman caravans. When you order brand-specific bedding, you can be sure it will fit perfectly without the excess material or poor coverage that comes from trying to use standard home bedding in a caravan.

Enhancing Comfort: Mattress Toppers and Accessories

While good bedding is essential, the comfort of your caravan bed also depends a lot on the mattress itself. Many standard caravan mattresses feel better with extra comfort layers, which is why we offer a range of mattress toppers designed specifically for caravan use.

Small double static caravan mattress topper

Our memory foam caravan mattress toppers turn basic caravan mattresses into much more comfortable sleeping surfaces. They mold to your body for personalised support, reduce pressure points so you don't wake up with aches, come in different thicknesses to suit what you like, and are cut to match your exact caravan mattress shape.

For caravanners who tend to feel too hot when sleeping or use their caravan in warmer weather, our cool gel toppers help regulate temperature. The gel-infused memory foam spreads out body heat, is 30 times more breathable for cooler sleep, adapts to your body evenly for better comfort, and helps reduce night sweats and overheating.

To keep your caravan mattress and topper in good condition, we recommend using a quality mattress protector. These come in waterproof options for complete protection, are made from breathable materials to prevent heat buildup, are easy to remove and wash, and help your mattress and topper last longer.

Seasonal Considerations for Caravan Bedding

One of the challenges of caravan holidays is dealing with temperature changes between seasons. Unlike houses with heating and air conditioning, caravans can get quite hot or cold. Our bedding solutions help with these seasonal challenges.

Eco-friendly static caravan mattress

For warmer months, think about lightweight duvet covers with lower tog ratings, cotton-rich fabrics that wick moisture away, cool gel mattress options that spread out body heat, and flat sheets that can be used alone on the hottest nights. Our Cool Gel Mattress gives you cooling comfort with smart design, which is really helpful during summer caravanning.

For cooler seasons, add higher tog duvets for more warmth, layer your bedding so you can adjust as needed, use thermal blankets as extra layers, and try flannel or brushed cotton sheets for cozy comfort.

For caravanners who use their vehicles all year round, we suggest getting a few different tog-rated duvets, mattress toppers that insulate you from cold mattresses, eco-friendly mattress options with natural temperature control, and easily changeable duvet covers to adjust to seasonal needs.

Space-Saving Solutions for Caravan Bedding

Storage space is always limited in caravans, so compact, space-efficient bedding solutions are really valuable. Our caravan bedding is designed with these space limits in mind.

Essential comfort mattress

Our affordable caravan bedding sets are designed to take up less storage space with compression storage bags included with many sets, lightweight materials that fold up smaller, multi-purpose items that serve several functions, and coordinated sets that stack efficiently.

For caravans with dining areas that convert to beds, we offer special bedding solutions including quick-deploy bedding that sets up in minutes, easy-store options that tuck away during the day, dual-purpose cushions that work as both seating and bedding components, and bolster options that provide both support and comfort.

Our Essential Foam Rectangular + Bolster Caravan Mattress (£269.00) combines comfort with practical space-saving design, featuring a 5 Year Guarantee, UK Manufacturing, Free Delivery, and a washable zip-off cover for easy cleaning.

Maintaining and Caring for Your Caravan Bedding

To make sure your affordable caravan bedding sets stay in good condition through many seasons of use, proper care is essential. Following these tips will help your bedding last longer and keep it feeling fresh.

Washable zip-off mattress cover

Different bedding materials need different care. Cotton blends can be machine washed at 40°C and tumble dried on low, while microfiber should be machine washed at 30°C and dries quickly without needing a dryer. Premium cotton usually needs a 40°C wash with line drying, and for mattress care, use mattress protectors and check our detailed cleaning guide.

Many of our mattresses, like the one shown above, have washable zip-off covers for easy cleaning, so you can keep your sleeping area fresh and clean.

Proper storage between caravan trips prevents mildew and keeps bedding in good shape. Make sure bedding is completely dry before storing it, use vacuum bags for duvets and pillows, store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and consider using cedar blocks or lavender sachets as natural fresheners and to keep moths away.

Key Caravan Bedding Care Tips

  • Washing Cotton Blends: Wash at 40°C and tumble dry on low setting
  • Washing Microfiber: Wash at 30°C and air dry (no tumble drying needed)
  • Washing Premium Cotton: Wash at 40°C and line dry only
  • Mattress Protection: Use mattress protectors for hygiene and to extend mattress life
  • Mattress Features: Look for mattresses with washable zip-off covers for easier maintenance
  • Storage Preparation: Ensure bedding is completely dry before storing to prevent mold and mildew
  • Space-Saving Storage: Use vacuum bags for storing duvets and pillows in limited caravan space
  • Storage Environment: Store in cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fabric damage
  • Natural Fresheners: Use cedar blocks or lavender sachets as natural fresheners during storage
