One of the most inviting things about traveling in an RV or vacationing in a camper is the ability to enjoy the feeling of being at home despite being miles away. RVs are equipped with all of the amenities and comforts found in your home, including your own bed. The sleeping space in an RV depends on the design and model of the unit, but you can find beds that support twin-size mattresses all the way up to king sizes. The standard mattress that comes with an RV isn’t the most comfortable, but you have the freedom to put in a custom RV mattress once you drive your RV home.
Choosing an RV Mattress
Before you can change out your mattress for a custom option, you need to check the size that will fit on the bed frame. There may also be some restrictions on the height of a mattress, as RVs with low ceilings often use low-profile mattresses to give you more headroom. Choosing the right mattress also involves assessing your sleep preferences and which configuration gives you the best comfort and rest. It can be hard to fit a standard mattress to your RV, which is why customizing is a huge benefit.
In addition to the different sizes, you also have different shapes for fitting your mattresses. Some of the more common needs in an RV include:
- Corner cut
- Radius or rounded
- Rectangle
RV mattresses may also go by the common name of queen or king, but the actual sizing could be a little different. You will find that RV mattresses tend to have a range from 28 inches wide by 75 inches long up to 72 inches wide by 80 inches long.
RV Mattress Options
Comfort and durability are desired traits in a mattress, and choosing the right material for the mattress impacts both of these aspects. A good night’s sleep helps ensure you enjoy your vacation, and a custom RV mattress allows the body to rest and get the support needed. If you want to quickly narrow down the field to the best mattress options, hybrid mattresses are the way to go. These mattresses can provide the best of both worlds when it comes to support, durability, and comfort.
Hybrid Mattresses with Latex or Memory Foam
Any hybrid mattress with latex or memory foam is considered "top-tier" in the mattress world. Looking at latex specifically, it has the ability to both support and conform simultaneously, while being one of the most durable components used in mattresses today. It's sure to provide the comfort and snuggle you need to get well-rested. A natural latex mattress can also provide a hypoallergenic product that provides resistance against mites, dust and other allergens. For a custom size RV mattress with coils, latex, or memory foam, the following options are ideal:
1. The Cocoa Ultimate Mattresses
In terms of support and durability, it doesn't get any better than the Cocoa Ultimate collection. Over 2,400 individually wrapped coils provide support while two of the models offer 100% natural latex in the comfort layer. Both firm, medium, and plush options are available - all with the same support system. This is a great option for individuals that want the absolute best option for their RV or camper.
2. The Cocoa Luxury Mattresses
For those who prefer an option slightly less expensive than the Ultimate, the Cocoa-Luxury shares many of it's features at a lower price. The same 100% natural latex is featured in two of the models and the main support system is identical.
3. Mid-Range & Basic Mattresses
If you are looking for a mid-range or basic mattress solution, look to the Performance or Basics collections. Although the designs are more simple, the level of support and upholstery padding are still well above average. Comfort levels range from firm to plush, while the depths start at 6" and range to 10".
