Campervan Mattress

Are you looking for the perfect campervan mattress? F.C. Hancox, has a range of foams ideal for this purpose and we can cut the foam to any size, ensuring a snug fit wherever it will be placed.

 The big attraction of owning a campervan is the freedom to roam, stopping almost anywhere and enjoying the surroundings. It’s little wonder this mode of transport is becoming so popular. Journeys are made complete with a good night’s sleep, ready for the next day’s adventure. Having a comfortable campervan mattress is essential to make the most of the independence afforded by a campervan.

Campervans differ from motorhomes. Motorhomes are purpose-built and much larger than a campervan. Campervans are converted vans and if someone mentions a campervan, most of us will have the image of a classic Volkswagen. Campervans have some advantages over motorhomes. Being smaller they are much easier to park. They can be driven on an ordinary licence whereas larger motorhomes need a different category of driving licence. However, the main purpose of each is life on the road and both are designed for sleeping in.

Almost any van can be converted into a campervan and as well as VWs, Ford Transits and Renault Trafic are among the popular choices. You may be converting a new van, or you have purchased one second-hand either way you will need a campervan mattress.

Campervan Mattresses

Whether you are needing new or are replacing tired old mattresses it’s easy to make one yourself and you can find the perfect campervan mattress foam at F.C. Hancox. With our Foam Cut to Size service, you can slot the mattress into a space of any shape or size. We have a great choice of foams to ensure your comfort and a great night’s sleep.  For the ultimate comfort in a campervan mattress, we would recommend grey reflex foam which offers outstanding support by adapting to your body shape when in use. Often, we are asked if it’s possible to have a memory foam mattress. The answer is yes, though in this case, we would advise a combination of foams as we can stick foams together (laminate). For example, we suggest 4 inches (10cm) of Reflex 400H foam along with 1 or 2 inches (25mm – 50mm) of Vasco 50 memory foam on top. For this option simply write in the comment section at checkout for the foams to be stuck together. However, if you are on a budget our CMF foams are a firm alternative.

It is easy to order your campervan foam and we have a great how to measure foam guide for measuring the sleeping space where the mattress is to be situated. If you are at all unsure about ordering foam for your campervan mattress, then do give us a call where our friendly staff are on hand to help.

Campervan Mattress FAQs

What is the best foam for a campervan mattress?

We recommend our Reflex 400H foam for campervan mattresses. This quality foam provides comfort and medium to firm support. A highly resilient foam, Reflex 400H adapts to body shape and then regains its shape when not in use. It is a great option for mattresses in campervan, van conversions and motorhomes. Where your seating cushions double as a mattress, you can make it super comfortable for sleeping by using a Vasco 50 memory foam mattress topper. When not in use, the topper can be rolled up for storage. All our foams can be cut to any shape or size.

Can campervan mattresses be cut to size?

Yes, we can cut campervan mattress foam any size or shape and to the exact measurements that you supply. Whether you need a standard rectangular mattress or a custom shape to fit your campervan layout, our Foam-Cut-to-Size service allows you to create a mattress that fits perfectly into its space.

What thickness foam is best for a campervan mattress?

The ideal thickness depends on the available space and level of comfort required, but many campervan mattresses are between four and six inches thick. Additionally, if you are replacing mattress foam in an existing cover, it will need to be the same thickness as before.  Thicker foam generally provides improved comfort and support for sleeping but you will need new covers.

Can you make mattresses for VW campervans and van conversions?

Yes, we supply foam cut-to-size for campervan mattresses ideal for VW campervans, Ford Transits, Renault Trafics and many other campervan and van conversions. All mattress foam from F.C. Hancox can be cut to size to fit custom sleeping areas and layouts.

Is memory foam suitable for a campervan mattress?

Yes, memory foam can be used for campervan mattresses and is often combined with reflex foam for additional comfort. A popular option is a Reflex 400H foam base with a layer of Vasco 50 memory foam laminated (adhered) on top to provide both support and pressure relief. F.C. Hancox does not charge extra for lamination.

How do I measure for a campervan mattress?

If your campervan mattress has a cover, measure this to find the size of foam needed. If there is no cover, then simply measure the internal length, width, and depth of the sleeping area. If your campervan’s sleeping area is an unusual shape, or has angled corners, you can still order foam cut to size. Go to the home page, select the shape nearest to that of your mattress and then provide the measurements requested on the illustration. Alternatively, you can send us a template to help ensure an accurate fit. If you have any doubt about getting the correct size and shape, do get in touch.

Can I replace my old campervan mattress foam?

Yes, replacing old or worn campervan mattress foam is a simple way to improve comfort and support without replacing the entire bed setup. New foam can be fitted into existing mattress covers. This option also allows for a bespoke mattress as you select the best foam for your own comfort rather than have a standard foam. And it’s easy to do with our Foam-Cut-to-Size service.

Can I get advice on choosing the right campervan mattress foam?

Yes, F.C. Hancox’s experienced staff are happy to help with all aspects of your new campervan mattress. They can recommend the most suitable foam for you based on comfort, support and how often the campervan is used.
