A camper offers a luxurious way to enjoy a long vacation or a quick weekend getaway—while still having access to the comforts of home and avoiding expensive hotel costs. However, you will need to outfit the vehicle with the proper amenities, and this includes finding the right RV mattress. Many people wonder if they can just use a mattress from a guest bedroom in the house or an old one they were planning on throwing away. 

Will a Product Made for a Regular Bed Serve as an RV Mattress?

Experts generally warn against trying to use a bed mattress as an RV one, largely because the dimensions in a camper are far different from the ones used in a home. It’s highly unlikely a mattress used for a bed in the house will fit in the camper. In addition to being too big, it will also be too thick. Surprisingly, it might also cost you more in gas since bed mattresses are heavier than RV ones and carrying the additional weight can put extra strain on the vehicle’s engine.

How Can You Buy the Right RV Mattress?

Make sure you are looking at products that are specifically made for campers. These will be lightweight and created from materials that can withstand the changing temperatures often found inside an RV. Try to measure the amount of space in your camper and bring these numbers to a professional. They will work with you to ensure you purchase the right custom mattress.
