3 Things to Consider Before Buying a Van Mattress

Nick N |

Van life has truly taken off and is a trendy new hobby people are taking advantage of. With living or camping in a van comes the opportunity to buy a van mattress. 


Now that you’ve renovated and designed your van just as you want it, it’s time to make it even more comfortable with a brand new van mattress. There is more to consider when buying a van mattress compared to a regular one, though. 


First, you have to think about an appropriate size and consider the material it is made from. By the end of this article, you’ll be equipped with enough information to purchase the perfect mattress for your van. 


Consider the Material 


There are so many different kinds of materials used to make mattresses. Each material has its pros and cons, but there is one material that is ideal for a van mattress. 


That material is natural latex. It is extremely durable, which is perfect for handling both the cold and warm temperatures of your van. Latex is also fairly light, which is perfect for a van mattress because it won’t weigh down your vehicle. Not to mention, it’s very comfortable and can come in a variety of firmness levels, so you get a great night’s sleep. 


Find the Right Size


When purchasing a van mattress, it isn’t as easy as buying a twin, queen, or king for your bed frame at home. Instead, you have to be more conscious of the mattress size. Since you have already spent so much time planning and organizing to optimize the space in your van, it’s essential to buy a mattress that will fit perfectly. 


The best way to find the right size is to buy a custom mattress with the exact measurements you need. First, measure the space where you would like to put the mattress. Then order a custom mattress with those measurements in the firmness level and material you desire. 


Build a Bed Frame


Before installing your van mattress, you should buy or build a bed frame to place it on. You don’t want to put your mattress on the floor of your van as it can wear out easier this way. Plus, you have a higher chance of being cold at night if it is on the floor. 


Adding a bed frame to your van will not only make your mattress last longer but can also offer you more storage space. There is nothing more valuable than storage space when living or camping in a renovated van.
