RV king vs short queen: Which mattress size do I need?
US mattress sizes are pretty standard, we’re used to seeing full, queen, king and cal king beds on sale. However, when it comes to finding the right mattress for your RV, the sizes can vary from brand to brand. The first thing we recommend you do is measure the space where your mattress will go, this will give you a clearer idea of what you need to look for when buying an RV mattress, and you can’t just assume that the mattress manufacture will follow a standard size when it comes to RV mattresses so always read the dimensions.
There are two main mattress sizes that suit an RV, this is the short queen and RV king. The short queen measures 60” x 75” whilst a regular queen is 60” x 80”, so as you can see, the short queen, is actually 5” shorter. An RV king is typically, 72” x 80” where as a regular king is 76” x 80” so an RV king is slightly narrower width wise.
Some mattress manufacturers such as Brooklyn Bedding have multiple RV king options with either concessions being made on the width or length so that is why you need to always measure your space. There is also. Short king option which could work in an RV which measures 72” x 75” which is both narrower and shorter than standard.
There are also other RV sizes available, such as the RV full which is 53” x 75” in comparison to a regular full which is 54” x 75”. And RV bunk which is between 28-35” wide and 75-80” long depending on what manufacturer you opt for.
