Quick Answer: RV mattresses in Ontario are available from specialty retailers like DirectBed (Hamilton/Stoney Creek), Nine Clouds Beds (Mississauga), and online from Silk and Snow or Fawcett Mattress. Custom sizes (short queen, RV king, odd dimensions) typically cost $300 to $1,200 and take 1 to 3 weeks to produce.

Talia, Showroom Specialist: “RV mattresses come in so many non-standard sizes that measuring is everything. Bring the old mattress dimensions or a template of your sleeping platform. We cut custom sizes regularly for Class C motorhomes and travel trailers.”
Finding an RV mattress in Ontario should be straightforward, but it rarely is. Standard mattress stores do not carry RV sizes. RV dealerships charge premium prices for basic foam. And ordering online means guessing whether the mattress will actually fit your specific RV layout.
If you are in Hamilton, Toronto, Brantford, or anywhere in southern Ontario, this guide tells you exactly where to find RV mattresses, who makes custom sizes, and how to avoid the most common mistakes that RV owners make when upgrading their sleeping setup.
RV Mattress Sizes: Not Like Home Mattresses
RV mattresses follow different sizing standards than residential mattresses. This is the first thing every RV owner needs to understand before shopping.
Dorothy, Sleep Specialist: “The biggest mistake RV owners make is keeping the factory mattress too long. Those thin foam pads break down quickly with the vibration and temperature swings of road travel. Upgrading to a 6-inch high-density foam or hybrid mattress makes a night-and-day difference in sleep quality on the road.”
| RV Size | Dimensions | Residential Equivalent | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| RV Short Queen | 60" x 75" | Queen (60" x 80") | 5" shorter |
| RV Queen | 60" x 80" | Queen (60" x 80") | Same (some RVs fit standard) |
| RV King | 72" x 80" | King (76" x 80") | 4" narrower |
| RV Short King | 72" x 75" | King (76" x 80") | 4" narrower, 5" shorter |
| RV Twin | 34" x 75" (varies) | Twin (38" x 75") | 4" narrower (varies widely) |
| 3/4 (Super Single) | 48" x 75" | Double (54" x 75") | 6" narrower |
| RV Bunk | 28-42" x 75" | No equivalent | Highly variable |
The most common RV mattress is the short queen (60" x 75"). It uses the same width as a standard queen but is 5 inches shorter. This means standard queen sheets often fit (with some bunching at the foot), but a standard queen mattress will not fit in most RV bedroom platforms.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size mattress fits a standard RV or travel trailer?
RV mattresses come in non-standard sizes. Common ones include RV short queen (60 x 75 inches), RV king (72 x 80 inches), and various narrow twins. Always measure your sleeping platform before ordering, as manufacturers vary.
Can you make a custom-cut mattress for my motorhome?
Yes. Mattress Miracle cuts custom mattresses to fit any RV sleeping platform, including corner cuts for wheel wells, tapered shapes, and non-standard lengths. Bring measurements or a template for the best fit.
What is the best mattress material for an RV?
High-density foam (1.8 to 2.5 lb per cubic foot) or a thin hybrid with pocket coils works best. Avoid innerspring mattresses in RVs - the vibration from driving accelerates coil fatigue. Memory foam works well but choose an open-cell variety to prevent moisture retention.
How often should I replace my RV mattress?
Replace your RV mattress every 5 to 7 years, or sooner if you notice sagging, body impressions deeper than 1.5 inches, or waking up with back pain. RV mattresses wear faster than home mattresses due to temperature fluctuations and road vibration.
Do you deliver RV mattresses to Hamilton and Toronto?
Yes. Mattress Miracle delivers throughout southern Ontario, including Hamilton, Toronto, and the GTA. For RV mattresses, we can also arrange pickup at our Brantford showroom if you prefer to install it yourself.
