One of the major benefits of the Cub Spacevan - is the space! As well as the large floor area, the higher walls allow for an innerspring mattress.Our offer for the local Spacevan was accepted as we were heading to my usual chiro treatment (so you can see the appeal of a proper mattress).
We visited a Makin Mattresses showroom later the same day. Their Matilda range is specifically intended for RV use.
The height of the Spacevan meant we could choose the most comfortable, deluxe option.
After taking careful measurements, we placed our order the following Monday.
Our custom mattress was ready for collection on Friday of the same week, much earlier than advised or expected! I'd ordered a canvas cover and that arrived the same morning, so everything clicked into place nicely!
We set the bed up as we had done with our previous mattresses, in the D9 camper and 2006 Spacevan, using some irrigation matting to provide ventilation.
The canvas mattress cover will keep our bed and bedding dry/clean - as the canvas walls and roof pack down into the camper/onto the bed when travelling. If we have a particularly cold night, we can pull the canvas cover over our other bedding, for an extra layer of warmth - like a swag.
