At Furniture Spot & Mattress Outlet, we make RV mattresses fresh to order for Nova Scotia RV owners - cut to your exact measurements with a lead time of approximately 5 to 15 business days. Come in or call 902 406 3939 with your RV bed frame measurements and we will build the right mattress for your specific RV.

Why RV Mattresses Are Different From Regular Mattresses

This is the most important thing to understand before buying an RV mattress in Halifax - and most people do not know it until they have already made a mistake.

RV mattresses are not the same dimensions as standard residential mattresses. An RV queen mattress - also called a short queen - typically measures 60 inches wide by 74 inches long. A standard residential queen measures 60 inches wide by 80 inches long. That 6 inch difference in length means a standard queen mattress will not fit most RV queen bed frames.

Before purchasing any RV mattress, measure your existing RV bed frame or the space in your RV. Bring those measurements to our Halifax showroom and we will confirm the right size before you buy - saving you a wasted trip and a return.

RV Mattresses Are Made to Order in Halifax

Every RV mattress we carry is made fresh to order specifically for your RV - we do not keep RV mattresses sitting in stock like our residential mattresses.

Here is how it works. You come in or contact us with your exact RV bed frame measurements. We confirm the right size, cut, comfort level, and build for your specific RV. Your mattress is then made fresh to your specifications with a lead time of approximately 5 to 15 business days depending on the build and current order volume. Once ready it is available for pickup at our Halifax showroom or scheduled for delivery across HRM and Nova Scotia.

This applies to every RV mattress size we offer - short queen, RV queen, RV king, RV full, RV twin, and any custom cut size your RV requires. If your RV has a non-standard bed size or an unusual shape, call us at 902 406 3939 and we will work out the right solution for your specific situation.

The advantage of made-to-order is that your RV mattress is built fresh with new materials specifically for your measurements - not a pre-cut standard size that may not fit your frame correctly.

RV Mattress Sizes and Dimensions

RV mattresses come in several sizes that are specific to the RV industry. Here are the most common RV mattress sizes and their dimensions.

RV Short Queen measures 60 inches wide by 74 inches long - the most common RV mattress size and the one most Halifax RV owners need. It is 6 inches shorter than a residential queen.

RV Queen measures 60 inches wide by 75 inches long - similar to short queen but 1 inch longer. Some RV manufacturers use this size instead of true short queen.

RV King measures 72 inches wide by 75 or 80 inches long depending on the manufacturer - wider than a standard queen but often shorter than a residential king.

RV Full measures 54 inches wide by 74 or 75 inches long - common in smaller trailers and campers with narrower sleeping areas.

RV Twin measures 38 inches wide by 74 or 75 inches long - common in bunk areas and single sleeping sections.

Always measure your specific RV bed frame before purchasing. Even within the same size category, RV dimensions can vary between manufacturers and model years.

RV Queen Mattress Halifax - Our Most Popular RV Size

The RV short queen is by far the most requested RV mattress size we sell in Halifax. Most travel trailers, fifth wheels, and Class A and C motorhomes built in the last 20 years use a short queen bed in the master sleeping area.

We carry RV short queen mattresses across multiple comfort levels and price points - from our entry-level Smooth Top Foam at $199 all the way up to our Tension Ease RV Cooling Gel Pillow Top at $999. All available to test in our Halifax showroom so you know the feel is right before you install it in your RV.

RV Mattress Firmness - What Works Best in an RV

RV mattresses take different demands than residential mattresses. An RV mattress needs to be durable enough to handle vibration from travel, moisture-resistant enough to handle the humidity that builds up in an RV interior, and supportive enough to provide good sleep quality when you are camping or travelling regularly.

From experience, medium firm to firm options perform best in RV environments. Softer plush mattresses tend to break down faster under the travel and humidity conditions of RV use. A medium firm foam or pocket coil RV mattress provides the best balance of comfort, durability, and moisture resistance for most Nova Scotia RV owners.

RV Mattress FAQ - Halifax Expert Advice

What size is an RV queen mattress?

An RV short queen - the most common RV queen size - measures 60 inches wide by 74 inches long. This is 6 inches shorter than a standard residential queen which measures 60 x 80 inches. Always measure your specific RV bed frame before purchasing as dimensions can vary between manufacturers.

What is the difference between an RV mattress and a regular mattress?

RV mattresses are cut to RV-specific dimensions that are different from standard residential mattress sizes. An RV short queen is 6 inches shorter than a residential queen. RV mattresses also need to handle the vibration of travel and the humidity levels inside an RV - making durability and moisture resistance more important than in a home bedroom.

Can I use a regular mattress in my RV?

Usually not without cutting it down. A standard residential queen at 60 x 80 inches will not fit most RV queen bed frames which are typically 60 x 74 inches. Always measure your RV bed frame before purchasing any mattress for RV use.
