Caravan, Motorhome & Campervan Foam
Replacement foam for caravan, motorhome and campervan cushions, cut to order in our UK factory. All grades here are firm, high density and Crib 5 fire rated.
The seat-by-day, bed-by-night problem
This is the thing that makes caravan foam genuinely harder to specify than sofa foam, and it is worth understanding before you order.
A cushion that is firm enough to sit on comfortably all day will often feel too firm to sleep on — because when you sit, your weight is concentrated through a small area, and when you lie down, the same weight is spread over a much larger one. The same foam does two different jobs and cannot be optimal at both.
The usual solution is a laminated cushion: a firm, high density foam for the lower two-thirds to carry the sitting load, with a softer foam or a memory foam layer bonded on top for sleeping comfort. If you tell us the dimensions and how the cushion is used, we can talk it through with you.
Which grade?
| Grade | Density | Firmness | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 33H | 33 kg/m³ | 190N — hard | Occasional and seasonal use |
| 39H | 39 kg/m³ | 200N — hard | Regular use — denser, holds its shape longer |
| 42H | 42 kg/m³ | 240N — hard | Full-time or long-term use. Our firmest and densest |
Density is the number that decides how long the cushion lasts. In a van used every weekend, the denser grade is the one that will still be holding its shape in five years.
A note on memory foam in a cold van
Memory foam is thermo-sensitive — it softens as it warms to body temperature. In an unheated van in winter, it will feel noticeably firmer for the first few minutes. It is still a good comfort layer, but it is worth knowing before you fit it.
