Quality Single-Layer Foam Core
A genuine orthopaedic support foam, used as a single core to keep the price down without cutting the quality of what you sleep on. Firm, even support that holds up night after night.
Why Choose Essential?
Don't let the price fool you — the Essential is a proper orthopaedic mattress, built around a firm, supportive foam core that keeps your spine well supported night after night. By using a single high-quality layer rather than several, we keep the cost right down, so you get genuine orthopaedic support at the most affordable price in our range.
It's light and easy to fit into awkward van beds, and comes in four depths from 12.5 cm to 25 cm with a price point to match each. Because it's such good value by the unit, it's also a long-standing favourite with traders and dealers kitting out vehicles — bulk pricing is available.
Ideal for:
- Anyone wanting firm orthopaedic support at a budget-friendly price
- Sleepers who prefer a firmer, well-supported bed
- Full-time and regular caravan and motorhome use
- Traders and dealers fitting out vehicles (bulk pricing available)
- Anyone needing a specific depth from 12.5–25 cm

Measuring Guide
We cut the foam to the exact dimensions you provide; the mattress cover then adds a small amount to the finished size.
If your bed sits in a tight recess, or you'd like room for tucking in bedding, we recommend reducing your measurements though this remains a personal preference.
