Best RV Mattress Canada: Our Top Picks (2024)

Most RVs don’t have room for standard mattress sizes, so you’ll need a mattress that’s no more than 75″ long and narrower than your mattress at home. Width can vary depending on the size of the bed frame. Common camper mattress sizes include:

• RV bunk small measures 28″ wide by 75″ long. This RV mattress size will only accommodate a single person.
• RV three-quarter measures 48″ wide by 75″ long. You might be able to squeeze two average-sized people onto this mattress, but it’ll be a cozy fit.
• RV short queen measures 60″ wide by 75″ long. This is the same width as a standard queen-size mattress but is five inches shorter. A short queen mattress has enough room for two people of average height.

Depending on your RV, you may need a less-popular RV mattress size like short king or Olympic queen. These can be more difficult to find. To get a better idea of mattress sizes that will work for you—and fit in your RV—check out our guide to mattress sizes in Canada.

It’s not a good idea to keep your mattress in the RV during cold weather, especially if your RV is being stored outdoors. Temperatures can fluctuate significantly, especially here in Canada, and that’s hard on both foam layers and metal coils.

We recommend bringing your mattress indoors for the winter to avoid temperature changes and ensure a great sleep for many years to come.

Foam and combination foam mattresses are the best and most affordable types of RV mattresses. Unless you’re looking at a custom mattress, foam mattresses are also the easiest to find. These are just a few examples of common mattress types—however, keep in mind that not all mattress types are available in all RV sizes.

• Innerspring: Innerspring mattresses support your weight with metal coils. This makes the mattress bouncy and provides good edge support, but you might find this type of mattress less comfortable if your body needs more contouring.
• Memory Foam: Memory foam mattresses “hug” your body to relieve pressure and keep your spine aligned. They usually have good motion isolation, which is good for couples. However, unless they also come with advanced cooling features, the memory foam layers can trap heat and make hot sleepers even toastier.
• Cooling Gel Foam: Cooling gel foam mattresses like Douglas Summit can be a great alternative to pure memory foam. This type of mattress combines memory foam with cooling gel to keep temperatures comfortable while you sleep.
• Hybrid: Hybrid mattresses combine innerspring layers with foam or latex for a perfect pairing of contouring and support. Hybrid mattresses tend to have better edge support and lower temperatures than memory foam.

When you’re shopping for a mattress, it’s important to consider more than just how comfortable it is. There are a whole range of factors to keep in mind. (And when you’re ready to buy, make sure you buy a mattress online vs. in store.)

• Budget: Set a budget for your new mattress and stick to it. You might even be able to make this budget go further by finding limited-time deals and promotions online.
• Construction: Figure out whether you’d like an innerspring, foam, or hybrid mattress. There are pros and cons for each construction style, and knowing what you want will help narrow down your options.
• Firmness: Choose a mattress with the right firmness level for your sleep style—that is, whether you sleep on your side, back, or stomach. For example, side sleepers often want a softer mattress, while back sleepers may prefer something firmer. (Did you know that a medium-firm feel is ideal for most sleep styles? Get our guide to the best medium-firm mattresses.)
• Motion Isolation: Pay close attention to motion isolation if you share your bed with a partner, kids, or pets. The higher the isolation score, the less you’ll notice movement from the other side of the bed.
• Edge Support: Are you in the habit of sitting or sleeping near the edge of the bed? Look for a mattress with good edge support to keep your body supported in any position.
• Bounce: If you have trouble getting out of bed in the morning, you might prefer a mattress with extra bounce. (Your inner child will enjoy it, too!)
• Contouring: Contouring materials like memory foam help support your body in all the right places. That said, too much “hug” can cause overheating and make it hard to move, so find the level of contouring that’s best for your body.
• Temperature: Speaking of overheating—if you’re a warm sleeper, look for a mattress that promotes airflow and reduces heat using advanced cooling features.
• Responsiveness: A responsive mattress allows you to change positions without feeling stuck. Often found in hybrid designs, a responsive mattress can help you enjoy certain activities in bed even more.
• Noise: Nobody likes a squeaky or crinkly mattress. Get a quiet night’s sleep with a mattress made from noise-quieting materials like foam or latex.
• Company Policies: Get details about the manufacturer’s sleep trial, return policy, and product warranty so you know what you’re getting into.
