With an RV (recreational vehicle), you can enjoy having your own personal living space and the freedom of the road. But if you're spending several hours driving on a long journey, it's important to get a good night's sleep. So it pays to buy the best RV mattress you can afford, and part of that is choosing the correct size.
RV beds tend to have different measurements to standard bed sizes, in order to make the best use of limited space. And these vary a lot from vehicle to vehicle. So before you shop for RV mattresses, you need to carefully measure the beds inside your RV. Then compare your measurements to the table below, to find out which standard RV mattress size you need.
Although some of the models in our best mattress guide are available in RV sizing, it's not quite as straightforward as shopping for the best queen size mattress, for example. When you shop for your RV mattress, don't just assume the retailer you're buying from follows the standard sizes we detail below. They should, but in practice not everybody does, so always read the measurements of the mattress in the small print to make sure.
