What we are often asked about the Mattress
Is the mattress designed specifically for van life?
Yes.
The Van Nom Outdoor Mattress is specifically designed for use in vans; it is not a home mattress that has been adapted.
The materials, thickness, and cover are chosen to withstand: frequent use, humidity, temperature fluctuations, and real-life travel.
Is it suitable for everyday sleeping?
Yes.
The high-density foam (35 kg/m³) offers a good balance between comfort and support, making it suitable even for daily use, not just occasional use.
How thick is the mattress?
The mattress can be 10 or 8 cm thick.
A deliberately balanced choice: thick enough for a good night's sleep, compact enough not to take up space in the van.
Is it a firm or soft mattress?
It is a medium-firm mattress, designed to provide good body support without feeling rigid.
It doesn't sink too much, but it isn't hard either: a balanced solution for those traveling and sleeping in small spaces.
How do you clean it?
The cover is completely removable, easy to take off and clean.
It can be washed by hand or in the washing machine at low temperatures.
We recommend:
- avoiding harsh detergents
- not using a tumble dryer
- letting it air dry
Is it compatible only with the Nom Outdoor Bed?
No.
The Nom Outdoor Mattress is also compatible with other bed systems, provided the measurements are consistent.
That said, it is designed to work perfectly with the Nom Outdoor Bed, especially in the bed/sofa configuration.
