How to Measure Cutout Corner on a RV Mattress?
Sometimes on RVs, mattresses will have layouts with rounded wall hugging beds. This can limit your mattress options. We have the capability to do mattress cutouts for you if necessary. You will need to measure the radius corner and provide those measurements upon purchase. Measuring the radius corner is easily done. There are a few ways to do it. We recommend that you do it more than one way just to verify it was done correctly.
Measure Radius Corner of Mattress with Carpenter Square: A carpenter’s square, or builder’s square, is a L-shaped tool that measures right angles. When measuring the radius corner, you simply place the tool up against the corner of the mattress. You should get two measurements from the square, from the corner of the carpenter’s square to the mattress side on each side. These measurements should be the same on both sides.
- Place carpenter square at corner of the curved mattress corner.
- Measure the distance from the corner of the tool to where it touches the mattress side.
- Verify the measurement is the same on both sides.
Measure Radius Corner Using Intersecting Rulers: A tape measure or ruler can be used to measure the radius corner as well. Facing the ruler upward, line up the inside corner of the ruler with the point in the mattress side that the curve begins. Do the same on the other side. Keep the rulers parallel to the other side and view the point on the ruler in which they cross. This will be the measurement of the radius corner.
- Place one ruler face up vertically with inside point of ruler edge touching the place mattress curve begins.
- Place a second ruler horizontally with inside point of ruler edge touching the place mattress curve begins.
- Measure the distance from the mattress side to where the rulers intersect.
Measure Radius Corner Using Rulers at the Edge: Another way to utilize rulers to verify your measurements is to line one ruler along each edge. Then, move them towards the corner until they meet. Make sure the rulers are both flush along the side of the mattress. The distance from the corner to the mattress side is the measurement. Once again, this should be the same on both rulers.
- Align ruler face up alongside one side of mattress.
- Repeat with the other side that shares one corner.
- Slide rulers to the corner edge until they meet.
- Measure the length from the point where rulers meet until it touches each mattress side.
