Jayco Mattress Types and Sizes
Jayco offers camping trailers, travel trailers, toy haulers, fifth wheels, and Class A and C RVs in a wide variety of styles and floorplans. The majority of Jayco’s feature standard-size trailer mattresses. Most travel trailers, such as the Jay Feather, Jay Flight, and White Hawk, offer the RV queen short mattress (60″ x 74″), while some of the models, such as the Eagle Fifth Wheel, are available with a king mattress (80″ X 74″). Other size options may be full (53″ X 74″) or twin (38″ X 74″). Bunk mattresses come in various dimensions ranging from 28″ X 74 “to 42″ X 80”.
Accurate Measurements are Essential
To assure a correct fit for your Jayco mattress replacement, you must obtain accurate measurements. We are happy to assist you in obtaining precise measurements for your Jayco mattress. Due to variations in sizes, measure the mattress platform, not the old mattress itself, and round down to the closest inch. Measure the width, length, and height of your existing trailer mattress. You might want to allow an extra two to three inches to accommodate your bedding, especially if your mattress is in an enclosed space. If your mattress has cut corners or radius corners, be sure to measure the number and location of the cut or radius corners. We can provide any RV mattress size and help you obtain accurate measurements for your Jayco mattress replacement. You can order mattresses with cut corners directly through our online shop, while you can use our custom mattress form to order a mattress with radius corners.
Types of RV Mattresses
Innerspring mattresses are generally not recommended for replacements in an RV, as the weight and bulkiness make them difficult to manage within the motorhome. Foam mattresses are the best alternative; they arrive rolled up and are much easier to manipulate and install in your camper.
Additionally, there are several advantages to using foam mattresses in an RV. Whatever the size, shape or thickness needed, a foam mattress can be cut and customized to meet your needs. Look for a minimum of 1.8 density foam. Regarding the softness or firmness of the mattress, look for an Indentation Force Deflection (IFD) of 23-26 (23= softer, 26=harder).
For a plusher feel, choose a memory foam mattress. Memory foam has a top plush layer that is adhered to a support foam bottom. The support layer should be a minimum of four inches. Look for memory foam layers of at least two inches for the most comfort and a weight of two to four pounds.
If you have a sleeper sofa in your Jayco and you want to replace the mattress then you need a sofa bed mattress, not an RV mattress. Sofa mattresses are very different from camper mattresses, in terms of shape, standard sizes, thickness, and characteristics. Check out our sofa bed mattress buying guide to make sure you purchase a quality mattress, which will provide a good night’s sleep without feeling the bar!
Some Considerations
Suppose you want to extend the length of your Jayco mattress replacement (i.e., regular queen instead of a short queen). Ensure you have sufficient clearance to accommodate the additional length, or it may be difficult to get around the bed. You may also have to replace or extend the length of your platform to hold a longer bed. Along the same lines, if you have a Murphy-style bed configuration, a longer mattress may not fit within the frame of your bed or have adequate clearance at the top.
Hello, I have the same RV with a folding mattress. Please also contact me with your suggestions. Thank you, Kris Kirkendall
Hi Kris, if you have a 2016 Jayco Class C Melbourne with back slideout, the mattress can be done in 2 pieces, but the 2 pieces need to be different thicknesses, one 8″ and one 10″. Just to make sure, it would be for the best if you discussed with our customer care representative. I’ve sent you and email with additional details. Thank you for reaching out.
We have a 2016 Jayco Class C Melbourne with back slideout. The current mattress is foldable. I am unable to locate a replacement mattress that is a queen short foldable. Can we use the regular queen short?
Hi Martha, thank you for reaching out. We need more information to be able to answer your question. We’ll send you an email to clarify some aspects. Thank you!
Hi,
We own a 2005 – Jayco 27BH travel trailer.
Unfortunately, it has been closed up for the season and is three hours away from our home.
We meant to measure the bottom bunk mattress size, so we could keep an eye out for a new one, and forgot.
Can you give me the dimensions of the bottom bunk mattress?
Thanks in advance,
Brenda
Hi Brenda, thank you for reaching out. While we do carry all Jayco replacement mattress sizes, we’re not quite sure what dimensions the 2005 Jayco 27BH has and wouldn’t want to mislead you. It might be best if you contacted Jayco directly and asked them (you can do so here: https://www.jayco.com/site/contact/). Let us know if we can be of additional help.
