Things to Consider When Replacing Your Airstream RV Mattress
One consideration when looking into a replacement mattress is the height of the mattress. You can increase the height for a plusher, more comfortable mattress, just make sure you have adequate clearance (i.e., a bunk might not allow enough head room if you get a taller mattress).
Weight is another consideration. You may need to replace or reinforce your existing platform with the increased weight of your replacement mattress, dependin on the type you choose. For beds with the lift-up platforms, the gas springs may also have to be replaced with ones that can support more weight.
A third consideration is the comfort level you desire. Do you want your mattress to be extra firm, extra plush or somewhere in between? Also consider the type of mattress: foam, memory foam, innerspring, pillow top, or air mattress (read our article “RV Mattress Types: What You Need to Know” for more information in this direction, especially because depending on your mattress shape and size, the choice might have already been made for you).
Finding the Right Airstream Mattress Dimensions
• Measure the platform the RV mattress sits on, not the mattress itself, round down to the nearest lower inch.
• Measure the widest point and the longest length
• Measuring the height of your existing mattress can give you and idea of what thickness you can opt for
• Measure the number and location of radius corners and cut corners – if you have any questions in this sense just call us at our toll free number: (888) 889-2812.
If you find your mattress difficult to measure, contact Airstream for details about the dimensions for your specific mattress.
