For comfort lovers with structure

You love structure and homely comfort, but have a bed system made up of several elements that all need to fit together perfectly? Then the Vanmade® Modular Mattress is perfect for you. It’s made for modular bed systems and for everyone who wants a harmonious yet functional design. Thanks to the square cuts in the hybrid foam core, you can easily combine the matching elements in 12 cm or 15 cm height.

Experiences from the Vanmade® Community

Lena, 29 years
Vanlife with heart

“I use the Vanmade Original on my foldable seat surface. With 12 cm height and firmness level H2, at around 65 kg I lie wonderfully balanced – not too soft, not too firm. The folding function is super robust and makes daily storage stress-free.”

Marco, 37 years
Camper with modular bed

“Our lying surface consists of three segments, and the Vanmade Modular Mattress keeps everything perfectly together. I weigh around 80 kg and chose 12 cm height with firmness level H3 because I prefer it firmer. The transitions are hardly noticeable, everything stays stable – exactly what I was looking for in our modular bed.”

Gisela, 63 years
Motorhome traveler

“I wanted to sleep in the motorhome just like at home – and that works wonderfully with the Vanmade 7-Zone Mattress. At around 70 kg body weight, I lie comfortably soft on 15 cm height and firmness level H2 without sinking in too deeply. I especially feel the relief at my shoulders – my back is grateful for it.”

Heinz, 66 years
Frequent traveler with fixed bed

“I’m often on the road for weeks and need reliable comfort. The Vanmade Premium Mattress with 22 cm height and firmness level H3 supports my 90 kg perfectly – firm yet still comfortable. The white premium cover feels high-quality and gives a real hotel bed feeling in the motorhome.”

Show FAQ

Do the mattresses and upholstery always come with covers when ordered?

All our mattresses are always manufactured as finished products. If you would like something different, please take a look at our accessories.

What makes a good mattress?

A good mattress provides support for the head and body while also feeling comfortable. To meet these criteria, the mattress should be made of high-quality material and offer the right level of firmness. A mattress that is too soft can quickly lead to back pain, while one that is too hard can cause pain and tension.

Can I try out the custom mattress before?

All Vanmade® products can be tested and tried out at our premises in Würzburg.

Does a higher custom-made mattress offer greater sleeping comfort than a lower one?

The more 40 kg/m³ foam can be used in the mattress, the greater your sleeping comfort will be. This can be easily explained by physics. The more material that can be incorporated into your custom-made mattress, the better it can absorb and compensate for your weight. This allows you to further increase your sleeping comfort in your camper, van or even your boat.

My partner weighs 20 kilos more than me – which firmness level is right for us?

We recommend that you base your choice on the heavier body weight. A slightly firmer sleep surface for the lighter person is generally healthier than an overly soft surface for the heavier person. For a height of 10 cm, the medium firmness level H3 is suitable for body weights of approx. 85 kg and above.
