"Queen" is not one size worldwide, and the platform underneath it is usually built to the millimetre. Importers who leave the sleeping layout to a drawing find out at handover, when customers discover that locally bought sheets do not fit and a replacement mattress cannot be sourced locally. The bed is a specification item, not an accessory.

Start from the bed platform, not the label

Fix the platform dimensions in the order, in millimetres, next to the berth count you are buying. The 16ft off-road caravan with a Queen innerspring mattress shows how the two are tied together: the 16ft hard-top range ships with a 200mm custom Queen innerspring mattress, and the 21ft model is listed with a Queen innerspring mattress — both are built to the platform they sit on, so any layout change moves the mattress with it. Compare that finished platform against the bedding your market actually sells, because the same "Queen" label covers different sheet sets in Australia, New Zealand and North America. Where the platform is shaped rather than rectangular, confirm the mattress outline and the retention method in writing.

Why the base matters as much as the mattress

A mattress lying flat on an unventilated panel traps moisture, and warm humid air moving through a caravan finds that surface first. In cold and humid markets the damage surfaces later as a damp underside, a musty interior or discoloured panels — after the unit is sold and long after the container is unpacked. Ask how the base is ventilated and whether the mattress has a breathable underside, and keep both answers in the order file beside the platform size.

Put replacement into the after-sales plan

Mattresses sit on the wear-item list with upholstery, tyres and canvas, so a sagging or stained mattress normally comes back to you rather than the factory. Sourcing is therefore part of your product cost. Keep a bedding record per model — platform size, thickness, construction — so a replacement can be quoted and bought in your own market. Where the size simply cannot be bought locally, one spare mattress ordered with the first container costs far less than importing a single unit later.

Transit, showroom and payload

An unrestrained mattress slides in the first swell, so specify how the factory secures it before the doors close; a loose mattress inside a sealed unit damages joinery nobody inspects until delivery. It also has to come off your payload, which is worth checking before you change thickness: across the 16ft hard-top range, tare sits between roughly 2,320 kg and 2,370 kg against a 3,000 kg ATM. On the showroom floor the mattress is one of the few fittings a customer touches before buying, and a model that cannot be dressed with locally sold bedding is a harder sell to off-road caravans for US RV dealers and their customers.

Across the 16ft hard-top range the mattress is a 200mm custom Queen innerspring unit, and those platform sizes are the ones to brief first.
