Size and Fit
Standard mattress sizes (Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen) fit most RV and camper platforms designed for them. Van and custom builds often require non-standard dimensions. Avocado does not offer custom sizing, so measure your platform carefully before ordering. The mattress should lie flat and fully supported across its surface — an unsupported overhang or a platform with wide gaps between slats can affect comfort and longevity.
Moisture and Ventilation
This is the most important factor in a mobile sleep environment. Latex and organic wool are naturally breathable, but any mattress in a van or camper is exposed to higher humidity, condensation, and temperature swings than a climate-controlled bedroom. A few steps make a significant difference:
Ensure airflow beneath the mattress. A solid platform with no ventilation traps moisture against the mattress's bottom. Slatted platforms or a ventilated base are strongly preferred.
Use a waterproof mattress protector. Our GOTS-certified organic waterproof protector is a practical first line of defense against condensation and spills.
Air the mattress out regularly, especially in humid climates or after consecutive nights in a sealed vehicle.
Avoid prolonged wet or humid storage conditions. Latex can tolerate temperature extremes — including below freezing — but sustained moisture exposure is the primary risk.
Warranty
Our warranty covers manufacturing defects under normal residential use. Using the mattress in a vehicle does not automatically void the warranty, but damage resulting from moisture exposure, inadequate support, or improper storage would not be covered.
