Q. How thick of a mattress should I order?
A. Mattress thickness, or height, can be custom ordered based on your personal preferences as well as available space in your truck bed or cab. Generally speaking, the thicker the mattress, the more support and comfort, especially as it relates to body contouring ability and reduced pressure on major joints of the body.
If you have a ceiling above you, such as in a truck cab or in a truck bed with a camper shell, topper or canopy over the bed, you’ll want to leave (at the absolute minimum) about 24” (2ft) between the top of the mattress and the ceiling. This could be cutting it too close for comfort though, especially if you’re a bigger individual.
Instead, we suggest using this simple measuring technique to get the spacing just right. First, lie down sideways in the area the bed will go. Next, measure the distance between your upper arm and the roof.
Common mattress heights tend to be around 4.5″, 5.5, 8″, and 10″ thick. However, we can make mattresses in almost any depth upon request.
