It can be frustrating to track down a replacement mattress for an Airstream travel trailer. Because the majority of Airstream floor plans have the mattresses located in the corners of the trailer, 99% of them have one or more radius corners.
To make things even more complicated, there are over 780 unique Airstream floor plans dating back to the first model built back in 1936! The good news is, we’ve found that many of the models share the same mattress designs. In fact, between the years 1999 and 2013, there were approximately 50 Airstream models built and most of them use one of eight unique mattress dimensions.
Here are some of the most common Airstream Mattress sizes (Note: If you have one of these sizes, we’ll still require a schematic or template from you prior to production as the measurements of the curved edges can vary widely based on the model and year):
• 47.5” x 78” with double radius corners • 48” x 76” with 10” radius and curved edge • 54” x 76” with 10” radius and curved edge • 54” x 83.25” with double narrow radius corners • 60” x 75” with 11” radius corners • 60” x 75” with 45” cut corners • 60” x 75” with 11” radius and curved head • 34” x 78” with a curved edge

Fortunately, we can custom make any Airstream mattress size or shape in approximately 5-7 business days. Your mattress will be customized based on your height, weight, comfort preference, and budget. You’ll need a template or a schematic before you order, but you don’t need one to obtain a quote from us.
To obtain a quote, simply follow these steps:
1) Using a tape measure, measure the widest width of your Airstream mattress. 2) Next, measure the longest length. 3) Then measure the existing mattress' height. Note whether you have height restrictions for your mattress (low ceiling, etc). Generally, the thicker the mattress, the more padding and comfort layers we can squeeze in there to make the mattress more comfortable for you. 4) Note how many radius or cut corners your mattress has and where they are located (we’ll get the exact measurements if you elect to order). 5) Finally, call us for a quote! 888-488-1468. We’re open Mon-Friday from 7am PST to 4pm PST.
The good news is MattressInsider.com has the capability to do any custom Airstream mattress model.

So how do you go about obtaining the schematic for your Airstream mattress? Is it in the manual?
Unfortunately, the Airstream manuals only provide you with a part number but no schematic with measurements.
We attempted to obtain the database of all of their mattress blue prints to make it easier for our customers, but Airstream declined.
Luckily, you can obtain schematics for many of the Airstream models (but not all) directly if you’re an Airstream owner.
Airstream has quite a few schematics on hand but we’ve been told that for many of the older Vintage Airstreams prior to 1960 there is no schematic available. In fact, when Airstream is restoring a vintage model, sometimes they have to make a paper template for the mattress (we’ll explain how to do that in a minute).
So here’s what you need to do to reach out to the manufacturer to see if they have a drawing with your Airstream mattress dimensions:
To Contact AirStream:
1) Visit Airstream's “Quick Contact Us” form by clicking here . 2) Fill out the “Quick Contact Us” form and tell them you need the mattress schematic for your Airstream Trailer. Make sure to specify the VIN number, model, and year of your Airstream when submitting the form. 3) If Airstream has a schematic for your model and year available, they will email you back a PDF diagram with detailed mattress specifications. An example of one of their schematics can downloaded here .
If they have the schematic on hand, your job is almost done. After you place your order with us, you’ll simply email us the sketch and we’ll go off those dimensions.
What if they do not have my schematic?
If Airstream is unable to provide you with a diagram, you’ll have to make your own template and mail it to us before we can start production.

How to Make Your Own Template
1) Obtain the materials. Go to Home Depot or Lowes and purchase a plastic drop cloth. We recommend the 9 foot by 12 foot Husky .7 mil plastic drop cloth (which can be found in the painting aisle). At the time of this writing, it runs around $1.98. 2) Lay the mattress down on top of the drop cloth and using a permanent marker (like a black Sharpie) trace around your entire mattress. If you intend to keep the old mattress, be careful not to get marker on it. 3) Using a pair of scissors, cut along the line you traced. The template should now be in the shape of your old mattress. 4) Using the marker, write “TOP” in the center of your template so we know which side is the top and which side is the bottom. 5) Using the market, write “Head” at the top where you’d put your head and “Foot” where you put your feet. 6) Contact Us for our mailing address to send in the template.
