What sizes does the Nomad RV Mattress come in?

The Nomad RV Mattress is available in seven sizes: Twin Bunk (28" x 75" ), Double (48" x 75"), Short Queen (60" x 75"), Queen (60" x 80"), Short King (72" x 75"), King (72" x 80"), and Narrow King (70" x 80"). These sizes are specifically designed to fit the unique dimensions of Canadian RV sleeping areas.

Will the Nomad Mattress fit in my RV or tractor-trailer?

The Nomad Mattress is designed to fit the most common RV and tractor-trailer sleeping areas. We recommend measuring your space before ordering. The mattress is shipped vacuum-sealed and roll-packed, making it easy to bring inside and position in tight spaces. If you have a custom or unusual space, contact us for custom sizing options.

How is the Nomad RV Mattress different from a regular mattress?

Nomad RV Mattresses are specifically engineered for mobile living. They are lighter than regular mattresses to reduce vehicle weight, built with high-density foam for durability on the road, feature breathable covers to prevent moisture buildup, and come in RV-specific sizes that regular mattresses don't offer. They're designed to handle the unique challenges of temperature fluctuations and limited ventilation in RVs.

What is your return policy?

We offer a 90-day sleep trial on all Nomad Mattresses. If you're not satisfied within 90 nights, you can return it for a full refund. The mattress must be in good, sanitary condition with no stains, tears, or damage. We recommend using a mattress protector. Contact customercare@nomad-mattress.com with your order number to initiate a return.

How do I care for my Nomad Mattress?

To maintain your Nomad Mattress, rotate it occasionally like a tire (but less greasy). Avoid jumping on it. Place breathable material underneath to allow air circulation and prevent moisture buildup, especially important in Canadian climates. Use a mattress protector to keep it clean. The cover is machine-washable for easy maintenance.

What warranty does the Nomad RV Mattress come with?

Every Nomad Mattress comes with a comprehensive 20-year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects, including sagging deeper than 1 inch, defects in seams, cover, and foam core. The warranty protects against manufacturing issues but does not cover normal wear and tear, damage from misuse, or comfort preferences.

Is the Nomad Mattress made in Canada?

Yes, every Nomad Mattress is designed and manufactured in Canada with Canadian pride. We use premium materials and construction methods to ensure quality and durability. Our mattresses are built specifically for the Canadian market and climate, understanding the unique needs of Canadian RV owners and long-haul truckers.

How long does shipping take for Nomad Mattresses?

We offer free shipping across Canada. Your Nomad Mattress will be delivered directly to your RV, home, or campsite. Shipping times vary by location but typically range from 5-10 business days. The mattress arrives vacuum-sealed and roll-packed for easy handling and setup.

Can I use a regular mattress in my RV instead?

While you can technically use a regular mattress in an RV, it's not recommended. Regular mattresses are heavier, don't fit RV-specific dimensions (like short queen), and aren't designed for the moisture and ventilation challenges of mobile living. RV mattresses like Nomad are specifically engineered to handle condensation, temperature fluctuations, and the movement of travel while being lighter and properly sized.

Why RV Owners Look for an Alternative

Most people shopping for an RV replacement mattress are solving the same problem: the factory mattress that came with the rig is thin, and after a few seasons the foam has flattened, the edges sag, and you can feel the platform underneath. At Nomad Mattress, we hear the same complaint from full-time RVers and long-haul drivers alike.

Comparing brands is smart, because RV mattresses differ more than residential ones. Sizes, thickness, cold-weather performance and return terms all vary, and the right choice depends on your rig.

What to Compare in an RV Replacement Mattress

What to check	Why it matters	Nomad Mattress
True RV sizes	A residential queen won’t fit a Short Queen platform	9 RV sizes, Twin to RV King, plus Olympic Queen
Height	Too thick can block slide-outs, wall beds and bunks	6″, 7″ and 10″ models
Cold-weather comfort	Standard memory foam stiffens in a cold rig	Thermo-Adaptive foam on the Original RV, Truck and Hinge
Folding beds	Murphy beds and slide-outs need a built-in fold	Nomad Hinge with a 2/3 fold
Edge support	You sit on the edge of an RV bed a lot	Transfer edge on the Original RV and Truck
Cover	Campers get dusty	Zip-off, machine-washable on every model
Trial and warranty	You’re buying without lying on it	60–90-night trial; 5- to 20-year limited warranty
Shipping	Bulky items can carry big delivery fees	Free to most areas in Canada, boxed to fit RV doors

When comparing any brand, check its current sizes, trial length and return terms on its own website, since these change.

Nomad Mattress: A Canadian-Made Option

Nomad Mattress is made in Canada and built for mobile living. Our Thermo-Adaptive foam responds to your body heat rather than the air temperature, so it doesn’t stay rock-hard on a cold night or turn mushy in July.

Original Nomad RV: 7″, medium-firm, for most travel trailers and fifth wheels. $949–$1,199, 90-night trial, 20-year limited warranty.
Nomad Hinge: 6″, folds 2/3 for Murphy beds and slide-outs. $1,299, 60-night trial, 5-year limited warranty.
Nomad Slim: 6″, firm, for bunks, pop-ups and van builds. $699–$999, 60-night trial, 5-year limited warranty.
Nomad Truck: 7″, in 32″, 36″, 39″ and 42″ sleeper widths. $849–$1,049, 90-night trial, 20-year limited warranty.
Home & Cottage: 10″, firm or plush, for roomy motorhomes, cottages and homes. 90-night trial, 20-year limited warranty.

Good to know: Nomad makes standard RV and truck sizes; we don’t make custom shapes. If your platform has deep rounded corners or cut-outs, email us your measurements and a photo before ordering.

Topper or Full Replacement?

A foam topper is the cheapest fix, and it can soften a mattress that’s still structurally sound. But a topper only adds comfort on top. If your factory mattress has collapsed or you can feel the platform through it, a topper won’t fix the support underneath. Toppers also add height, which can make bunks feel cramped or stop a slide-out from closing. Read more in How to Make Your Factory RV Bed More Comfortable.

How to Measure Your RV Bed for Replacement

Remove the old mattress and clear the platform.
Measure the length at the left edge, centre and right edge. Use the shortest.
Measure the width at the head, middle and foot. Use the narrowest.
Measure the clearance above the bed, with any slide-out closed or wall bed folded.
Note rounded corners or notches and take a photo.
Match your numbers to our Mattress Sizes chart, sizing down if you fall between two sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I look for in a Mattress Miracle alternative?

Compare true RV sizing, mattress height for your clearance, how the foam handles cold and heat, weight, edge support, a washable cover, and the sleep trial and warranty. Check each brand’s current terms on its own website.

Is Nomad Mattress a good alternative for RV owners in Canada?

Nomad Mattress is made in Canada for RVs and truck cabs, with nine RV sizes, Thermo-Adaptive foam on the Original RV, Truck and Hinge, free shipping to most areas in Canada, and a 60- or 90-night sleep trial depending on the model.

Should I buy a topper or replace my RV mattress?

A topper can add softness to a mattress that’s still supportive. If your mattress has sagged or you can feel the platform through it, replace it, because a topper won’t restore support.

Does Nomad Mattress make custom sizes?

Not currently. Nomad makes standard RV, truck and home sizes. If your bed is an unusual shape, email customercare@nomad-mattress.com with your measurements and a photo.
