Mattresses

Maximum sleeping comfort even on the road


  • Focus on sleeping
  • Ideal for side sleepers
  • Soft and flexible mattress fabric

If you value high sleeping comfort with a softer lying feel, then a mattress is the right choice. Especially for side sleepers, a mattress provides the ideal comfort as sensitive areas such as shoulders and hips are gently relieved.

You’re focused entirely on sitting comfortably, or you’d like to sit comfortably during the day and sleep relaxed at night? Then a cushion is the right choice for you. Our cushions combine practical functionality with modern design and fit perfectly into your camper. Thanks to their slightly firmer core, you’ll sit comfortably on the cushions and generally enjoy a firmer sleeping surface.

The lying sensation on a mattress is always a bit softer and more adaptive than on a cushion of the same height and firmness level. For more information, visit our FAQs.



In a nutshell


The choice between a mattress or a cushion for your camper depends entirely on your personal needs. If you value maximum sleeping comfort and plan to use the product primarily for sleeping, a mattress is the ideal solution for you. Do you prefer to stay flexible and perhaps even want to create a combination of sitting and sleeping that can also be customized in color? Then a cushion perfectly matches your style!


Now that you know which product is right for you, simply configure your desired option directly in our online configurator.

Theoretically, it's quite simple – the thicker the mattress, the more comfortable it is to lie on. From a thickness of approx. 12 cm, there is more scope in terms of softness and medium firmness. Below this, a firmer version should be chosen.

You are also welcome to order your mattress or upholstery with curves. Simply send us a drawing of your desired configuration by e-mail to support@vanmade.de and we will prepare a customised quote for you. You can find the drawing templates HERE. Please note that radii of less than 5 cm cannot be taken into account for production reasons.
Our mattresses and upholstery are high-quality, custom-made products that offer the best seating and sleeping comfort for many years. With normal use and care, they have a lifespan of around 5 years or more – depending on wear and tear, even significantly longer.
The density (RG) indicates the compactness of the foam in kg/m³. A higher density means greater durability and comfort. Our mattresses are made of RG40 foam – a quality material that is durable, dimensionally stable and very comfortable at the same time.
Please specify the dimensions of your desired mattress so that it will fit into your bed frame. We always manufacture to the final dimensions. If your order consists of several parts (chain dimensions), you will be asked to provide us with a simple sketch of the arrangement of your elements after placing your order.
A firm upholstery cover generally makes the seat or bed feel slightly harder than a flexible mattress cover. A mattress is always slightly softer than upholstery (with padding) of the same height and firmness.
