How to store your mattress topper in your caravan or motorhome

  • 6th July 2024
Not sure how store your mattress topper when you have converted your make up bed back into seats? While they offer the world of comfort to your caravan or motorhome bed, it can be difficult knowing where to store them during the day.  
This guide will explore clever storage hacks and show you how you can upgrade your comfort with minimal storage. 
 

How to know how big your caravan mattress topper will be 

When it comes to knowing the size of your topper rolled up, it all boils down to two key factors: the caravan mattress topper depth and the topper width.  
 
Depth: Also referred to as the thickness of the caravan mattress topper. It is important when deciding how to store your caravan mattress topper as it directly impacts the diameter it rolls up to. 
 
Width: This refers to the size of the bed the topper fits (such as a standard single, double, king, etc.). With a wider caravan bed, you can either roll it up without folding or fold it in half to reduce the width, depending on your storage options. How tight you can roll your caravan mattress topper might vary, here is a rough guess of the dimensions your rolled up topper will be: 
 
  • Single Topper: Rolls up to about 14 inches in diameter and around 2ft 6 wide. 
  • Double Topper: When rolled, it becomes approximately 4ft 6 wide by 14 inches in diameter. 
As you can see, the width of the topper determines the rolled-up width, while the depth dictates the diameter.  
 

Where to store your mattress topper in your caravan or motorhome 

If your storage options are very limited and you are unsure where you can fit a 4ft 6 wide mattress topper in your caravan or motorhome, you can consider getting two single-sized caravan mattress toppers instead. By doing this, the mattress toppers are less bulky and so are easier to store in tight spaces. 
Here are some ideas of spaces you can store your mattress topper in your caravan or motorhome: 
  • Shower cubicles: During the day, you can store your mattress topper in your shower. This is an ideal space to store an extra wide topper but make sure the room is free from any moisture to avoid damage to your caravan mattress topper.  
  • Under locker storage: Utilise the space under your make up bed or underneath your caravan or motorhome to store your topper during the day.  
 
While it might seem inconvenient to store your mattress topper during the day, the benefit of improving your sleep quality on holiday is priceless. 
 

Why caravan and motorhome mattress toppers are worth it 

The mattresses that typically come with caravans and motorhomes tend to be less comfortable than your bed at home. By adding a mattress topper, you can increase the comfort of your caravan bed, so you aren’t rushing home for a good night’s sleep. 
 
 Here's what you gain by adding a caravan mattress topper: 
  • Enhanced pressure relief: Memory foam mattress toppers distribute your weight evenly, reducing pressure points that can cause aches and pains. 
  • Customisable Comfort: Choose a topper with memory foam for a luxurious sink-in feel or a cool gel-infused topper to help with temperature regulation if you struggle with night sweats. 
  • Lifespan Extension: Mattress toppers protect your mattress from wear and tear, extending its lifespan. 
A bad night’s sleep can ruin your entire caravan or motorhome escape. Avoid this by investing in a custom-made motorhome mattress topper or caravan mattress topper for a comfortable sleep on the road.
