Choosing the best Mattress for your caravan: A comprehensive buying guide

Getting a good night’s sleep is just as important when you’re away in your caravan as it is when you’re in the comfort of your own home. Your mattress plays a pivotal role in determining the quality of your sleep, so choosing the correct one that aligns with your requirements is crucial.

If you’ve recently purchased a second-hand caravan and need a replacement mattress, or if you’re simply in the market for a caravan mattress upgrade, look no further!


What to consider when choosing your new caravan mattress:

Firmness level

Duvalay’s range of Custom Mattresses vary in comfort feels. Your ideal firmness level depends on your comfort preferences and typical sleeping position. Back sleepers generally benefit from a firmer mattress for proper spinal alignment, and side sleepers tend to prefer a softer feel to cushion pressure points. We suggest choosing a similar comfort feel to your mattress at home if this suits your preferences.

Material preferences

Ranging between memory foam to hybrid mattresses our Custom Mattress range has everything on offer. Memory foam mattresses contour your body, providing a plush and cradling feel, while sprung mattresses offer a more traditional and responsive surface. What you choose is based on your personal comfort preferences so it is worth bearing this in mind before purchasing your new caravan mattress.

Weight

One thing that isn’t often considered when purchasing a mattress for your home is the weight. However, this can often be a very important factor when choosing a mattress for your caravan – the heavier your caravan is, the higher the fuel costs. If this is especially important to you, make sure you choose a mattress that is composed of lighter weight materials. The weight of each of our mattress models is displayed in the ‘Product Sizes’ tab on each product page.


The range:

D-Roll 'Convenient comfort'

As any caravan or motorhome owner will know, manoeuvring a full-size mattress into a leisure vehicle can be tricky. Our D-Roll mattress is delivered rolled and takes just minutes to unpack and unroll, making it your easiest mattress installation yet.

D-Roll is versatile in its offering, with two options available: Gold Memory foam, which feels a little firmer and gives more pressure relief, or innovative FreshTec foam for improved airflow and a fresher feel. Neither too soft nor too firm, this mattress will feel ‘just right’ to any sleeper.
