How to Choose and Maintain a Caravan Foam Mattress?

Sleeping on a comfortable surface, even while travelling, is essential for good health. The body needs sound sleep after long driving, walking, and hiking hours. Sleeping conditions and space in a caravan are different from home. Therefore, keeping a caravan foam mattress is essential for a road trip.

Why caravan foam mattresses?

Caravan foam mattresses are designed scientifically with an advanced memory foam layer system. They respond to the body’s heat and adjust according to shape, providing extra comfort. Outstanding caravan foam mattress manufacturers like Cloud 9 have developed advanced Australian-made, high-density, medical-grade foams after years of research. Such well-designed mattresses offer ultimate comfort to the body.

Benefits of good-quality caravan foam mattress:

  • Provides sufficient rest to the body.
  • Takes away aches and body pain at night.
  • Rejuvenates the body and mind for another day of fun-filled travel.
  • Provides anti-microbial protection against mites, bacteria and mould.

When should you replace your caravan mattress?

A good caravan mattress typically lasts 7 to 10 years without much maintenance. However, when it is time to replace your caravan mattress, it will show some clear signs like sagging, lumps and uneven surfaces. Some users may start feeling back pain after sleeping on the damaged mattress. As caravan mattresses are more exposed to the outdoors, they are more likely to accumulate dust mites and allergens. This can escalate allergy symptoms in vulnerable individuals. If you observe a foul smell emanating from the mattress, consider replacing it.

If you hardly use the mattress, it may last for much longer. Whenever you encounter these signs, consider changing the mattress pronto. You can further extend its life by using a quality mattress protector.

How to choose a perfect caravan mattress?

Replacement of caravan mattresses should not be difficult, considering the points below.

  1. Preference: Some people feel more comfortable on a hard mattress, while others need a soft surface to relax. While considering the replacement of caravan mattress, prioritise your comfort and preference.
  2. Material: Mattresses are available in high quality TENCEL fabric , and we only use high density medical grade memory foam. Memory foam works wonderfully well for pressure relief, and giving maximum support.
  3. Size: Standard mattress sizes are available for beds, but that is not true with caravan foam mattresses. Before placing an order, measure the dimensions of your caravan bed. Ensure no gaps are left, and the mattress fits snugly into the space.
  4. Thickness: Practical thinking is essential when considering replacing caravan mattresses. Heavier and thicker mattresses are difficult to move and manoeuvre in tight spaces. Therefore, keep them as lightweight as possible without compromising on quality.
  5. Durability: Always choose high-quality caravan foam mattresses with a warranty period. Cloud 9 NEXGEN Mattresses have a 10year Guarantee and have also been Durability tested according to European standard, EN 1957:2013-01, with a weight capacity of 140kgs per person, our maximum sinking over the 10 year assimilated test was 3.4mm. The initial cost may be high, but the mattress will last longer and withstand the rigours of travel.
  6. Ergonomic support: Enquire whether the mattress has been scientifically designed. Good caravan foam mattresses provide ergonomic support and ensure appropriate spinal alignment. They are designed to relieve pressure points, improving sleep quality and comfort. WE also have our unique Edge Rollover Support system which gives the mattress a supportive edge to the mattress, especially great for the elderly and also makes getting in and out of bed much easier.

Beyond all, consider your price range. Sometimes, cheap options may attract you, but they hardly provide comfort and may require early replacements. So, choose wisely.

Cleaning tips:

Cleaning the caravan mattress is essential for health. As mentioned, it may cause allergy and skin reactions if not cleaned well.
