Questions about beds and mattresses answered. And some stories told.

Yes, it is possible to get a custom hinged RV mattress made with sections of different thicknesses—but you’ll likely need to go through a custom mattress manufacturer or an upholstery shop that specializes in RVs or marine cushions.

Here’s what you can do:

Options for Getting a Custom Hinged Mattress:

    Custom RV Mattress Companies:

    •    Companies like Nine Clouds Beds offer hinged mattresses and allow custom sizes.

    •    Contact them directly and explain that you need each hinged section to be a different thickness. Not all will list this online, but many can accommodate via phone/email.

    DIY (if you’re handy):

    •    Order foam in the sizes and thicknesses you want from a supplier.

    •    Use heavy-duty upholstery fabric to join the segments using upholstery hinges (like sewn-in fabric or Velcro).

    •    Not ideal if you want a perfect fit and finish, but feasible if you’re budget-conscious.

Guide to buying a hinged queen RV mattress

Buying a hinged queen RV mattress requires careful consideration of space, comfort, and practicality. Hinged or folding mattresses are designed for RVs with limited access or platform beds that require bending for storage or clearance. First, measure your RV bed platform precisely—many RV queen beds differ slightly from standard sizes (often 60”x75” instead of 60”x80”). Ensure the mattress folds along the correct axis to match your RV’s layout.

Look for a mattress with a high-quality hinge that doesn’t compromise comfort. Memory foam and latex blends are popular for their flexibility and support. Aim for at least 6–8 inches of thickness for comfort, but ensure it still clears any obstructions when folded. 

If storage under the bed is needed, a lighter model helps with lifting. Delivery options should also include vacuum-sealed shipping for easier setup in tight RV spaces. Choosing the right hinged queen RV mattress means balancing fit, function, and long-term comfort.
