RV KING SIZES
RV King, Short King or Narrow King?
RV kings come in three sizes, and none of them match a home king. Here's how they compare, how to tell which one you have, and which Nomad mattresses come in each.
QUICK ANSWER
Which RV king size do I need?
Measure your bare bed platform. 72″ × 80″ is an RV King. 72″ × 75″ is a Short RV King, 5″ shorter. 70″ × 80″ is a Narrow RV King, 2″ narrower and common on slide-out bed platforms. A home king is 76″ × 80″, so it's too wide for all three.
THE SIZES
Three RV kings, side by side
The differences are only 2″ to 5″, but in an RV that's the difference between a perfect fit and a mattress that blocks a slide-out. Prices are for the size shown, in CAD.
Short RV King
72″ × 75″
183 × 191 cm
Full king width, 5″ shorter. For shorter king platforms and bedrooms with slides.

RV VS HOME SIZES
How RV kings compare to home sizes
Can I use a home king in my RV?
Usually not. A home king is 76″ wide, at least 4″ wider than any RV king, so it overhangs the platform and can stop a slide-out from closing.
Every Nomad king is a true RV size
The Original, Slim and Home & Cottage all come in all three RV king sizes.
HOW TO MEASURE
Which king do you have?
Check the width first: 72″ is an RV King or Short RV King, and 70″ is a Narrow RV King. Then check the length: 80″ or 75″.
We make standard RV sizes, not custom shapes. Unsure which size you have? Email info@nomad-mattress.com with your measurements and a photo and we'll tell you.
1
Strip the bed
Take the old mattress off and measure the bare platform, not the mattress.
2
Measure length and width
Measure in three places each way and use the smallest numbers.
3
Match the closest size
72″ × 80″ = RV King, 72″ × 75″ = Short RV King, 70″ × 80″ = Narrow RV King. Between sizes? Size down.
4
Check the clearance
Measure up to the lowest cabinet or window, with slide-outs closed.
