Caravan Mattresses, Toppers & Bedding Essentials

Caravan bedding needs to work harder than standard household bedding. Our range of caravan mattresses, toppers and bedding accessories is designed for posture-slat bases, confined layouts and life on the road. Whether you're upgrading from a sagging factory mattress or looking to improve temperature control and support, you’ll find options to suit every layout and comfort preference.




Caravan Bedding Australia, Mattresses, Toppers and Sleep Accessories

Caravan bedding must fit cabinetry, sit correctly on posture slats, and remain stable during travel. Use caravan-specific sizes, for example 1880x1530mm for queen. Start with a purpose-built mattress matched to a slat base for support and airflow, then fine-tune feel with a low-profile topper and protect the system with moisture and dust management layers.

Fit, height and clearance in real caravans

Correct fit avoids fouling doors, lift-up lids and cabinetry. Measure your base and surrounding frame before purchase.

Check Target Why it matters
Mattress footprint Match base in mm, for example 1880x1530mm Prevents overhang, avoids wall rub and hinge contact
Overall height Keep within OEM clearance with topper fitted Ensures lift-up lids and doors still open freely
Edge access Reinforced edges, adequate aisle width Makes entry and exit easier in tight layouts
Airflow gap Slat base with spacing for ventilation Helps reduce condensation under the mattress

Mattress core types and feel guide

Core Touring traits Pros Considerations
Bonnell spring Stable, durable under vibration, familiar bounce Good edge access, reliable support on slats Surface feel tuned via quilting, pillowtop changes plushness
Foam hybrid Even contact, lighter weight potential Low motion transfer, predictable feel Confirm ventilation, avoid excessive thickness in tight vans
Memory foam layer Pressure relief, contouring top layer Comfort at shoulders and hips Can sleep warmer, choose breathable cover and manage airflow

Mattress toppers and comfort layers

Use a topper when the base mattress is structurally sound, yet too firm. Keep profiles modest to protect clearances.

Topper thickness Use case Notes
20–30mm Subtle pressure relief, preserves most clearances Good for tight cabinetry, quick comfort tune
30–50mm Noticeable plushness for firm bases Recheck lid hinges, gas struts and door swings
50mm+ Maximum cushioning Only if height permits, may require sheet depth change

Bedding accessories and moisture control

  • Waterproof mattress protectors in caravan sizes, for example 1880x1530mm
  • Fitted sheets cut for caravan dimensions, elastic that grips slats well
  • Anti-condensation underlays to promote airflow and reduce damp patches
  • Travel-weight quilts and compact pillows that pack down easily

Install and maintenance checklist

  1. Measure base length, width, and target height including any topper.
  2. Confirm slat base integrity, fix loose slats and check spacing for airflow.
  3. Place mattress, ensure edges sit square with cabinetry, confirm hinge clearance.
  4. Add protector first, then fit sheets, then any topper if required.
  5. After first trip, recheck clearances, tighten fasteners, inspect for rub points.

Troubleshooting on the road

Feels too firm

Add 20–30mm breathable topper, verify slat spacing and airflow.

Condensation under mattress

Increase ventilation, consider anti-condensation underlay, avoid blocking slat gaps.

Sheets hard to tuck

Use zip-off bolster models, select caravan-specific fitted sheets.

Door or lid fouling

Reduce topper thickness, confirm overall height, adjust hinges if permissible.

Caravan Bedding FAQs

Can I use a household mattress in a caravan?
Household mattresses are not tuned for posture slats or confined cabinetry. Caravan mattresses in sizes like 1880x1530mm sit correctly on slats, reduce sag and sliding, and make sheet changes easier in tight spaces.
What size is a caravan queen mattress?
Commonly 1880x1530mm. Measure the base and surrounding cabinetry before ordering to confirm fit for sheets, toppers and protectors.
Do I need a pillowtop bolster?
A pillowtop bolster provides extra cushioning and zips off to simplify bedding against walls. Choose the standard bolster model if you prefer a firmer feel.
Which base works best with caravan mattresses?
A posture-slat base supports the core correctly and improves airflow. See the NCE Queen Slat Bed Base for caravan queen setups.
Will a topper interfere with storage lids or doors?
Possibly. Keep toppers low profile and recheck lid hinges, gas struts and door swings after installation.
