RV SHORT QUEEN MATTRESS BUYER`S GUIDE
What is a Short Queen Mattress?
A short queen mattress is one that is typically made to fit inside a recreational vehicle. It has the general feel of a Queen as far as how wide it is. However, it has a shorter overall length than traditional queen-sized mattresses. The technical dimensions of a short queen mattress are 60” x 75”. This is wide enough to accommodate a couple of people, a single with a pet, or a larger individual person. The length is sufficient for most people, but taller individuals may not find it to be adequate. The key advantage to using a short queen mattress in an RV is that it takes up less horizontal space than a RV King or RV Short King.
Short Queen Mattress with a dimension of 60 Inches By 75 Inches
Some RVs are designed with different sizes of the dimensions of the queen size. RVs first started by having small beds in 1901. In 1931, the RVs became more spacious, and in turn, the bigger mattresses, such as the queen mattresses, were designed. As time passed, many RV models emerged with regular queen-size beds, with dimensions of either 60 inches by 75 or 60 inches by 80 inches. The 60 inches by 80 inches is known as a standard queen mattress, became more popular as an alternative to the full or double-sized beds. The dimensions of the mattress are 60 inches by 80 inches. Several short queen mattresses are designed with different radius, which can made in both the Flippable Elite 2 and Flippable Elite 1.
The short queen mattress, 60 inches by 75 inches, was introduced to meet the specific spatial constraints of RVs and campers. The short queen mattress, compared to smaller mattress options, this size offered a compromise between the need to save space and the demand for a wider resting surface. Some queen-short mattresses can also be used in campers and vans, but they are mostly preferred for mobile homes.

How do you Measure the Radius Corner of the RV Short Queen Mattress?
The RV mattress size guide explains how to measure the mattress corners. You will take two tape measures and face them at the edge of the radius. Measuring the radius of the RV mattress, you should take it both vertically and horizontally. In most cases, the height and length of the radius match, and you are required to take the measures by measuring the length or the width, for example, 4 inches, which means it will have a 4-inch radius. The Flippable Elite 1 and Elite 2 can be made with any corners, while the air mattresses are custom-made. The shipping of custom-made air mattresses takes 3-4 weeks instead of 2 weeks. The Flippable Elite model can be shipped within 6 business days within the radius.
Short Queen Vs Queen
Traditional queen mattresses have measurements of 60 inches wide and 80 inches long while a short queen mattress size is 60” x 75”. Short queens are basically used in RVs for the most part whereas traditional queens are mostly used inside houses. Even so, the short queen mattress can be used in a bedroom that is inside a house if desired. As long as it is the appropriate size for the sleepers, this can be a good way to save floor space. It may give the impression that the room is larger as well.
Are There Differences Between a Short Queen Mattress and RV Queen and Camper Queen Mattress?
Understanding the difference between the terms of short queen mattresses can help narrow the searches. The terms “RV queen,” “camper queen,” and “short queen” can all refer to the same size, which is 60 inches wide and 75 inches long. The primary distinction is that the RV and camper Queen are available in sizes 60-inch by 80-inch. Most travelers cannot fit in the short queen mattress, which measures 60 inches by 80 inches, but the short queen mattresses are economical for small spaces and hence fit the bedroom more easily. You need to have walking space in the RV room. This means the small RV rooms are made with short queen mattresses instead of the standard RV queen mattresses, which measure 60 inches by 80 inches.

Where to Buy RV Short Queen Sheets?
An RV short queen sheet is a custom sheet size. The standard queen sheets fit the mattresses, which measure 60 inches by 80 inches, but the short queen sheets are made to fit queen mattresses, which measure 60 inches by 75 inches. The sheets will be specially made if a full-time traveler has a short queen mattress with radius corners. The mattress corner will need to be measured, and custom mattress sheets will need to be ordered to fit the radius.
RV Short Queen Mattress Topper
The RV short queen mattresses can be used with a mattress topper. Short queen mattresses differ from traditional ones; thus, the topper should fit the mattress measuring 60 inches by 75 inches. If the mattress has the right comfort, there is no need for a short queen topper, but most topper materials are memory foam or latex.
Conclusion
From our experience and the feedback of the customers, air-short queen mattresses are the most common choice. The Flippable Elite series will be a good choice for customers who want to save money but still like an excellent short queen mattress and a way to flip the mattress around. In this case, the Flippable Elite series will be a good choice since it keeps the mattress from becoming hot because of the quality of foam graphene. This foam pushes the heat away from the mattress; thus, one does not sleep hot.
Short Queen Mattress FAQs
Will Full Size Sheets Fit Short Queen Mattress?
No, a full size fitted sheet is made for a mattress that is 54”x75” and a short queen is 60”x75”. We don’t suggest trying to use full size sheets which won’t fit properly. Rather, pair your short queen mattress with sheets specifically made to fit it. This Kingship Comfort Sheet Set comes fitted to the short queen mattress size. It comes with the fitted sheet, a flat sheet, as well as two pillow cases. This sheet set is made in the USA from 310 thread count Pima Cotton for comfort.
Can you use a regular queen mattress in an RV?
You can possibly use a regular Queen size mattress in an RV. That really depends on the RV and its floorplan. The design of some campers has allocated enough space to fit a classic Queen that measures 60”x80” and some have not. Certain models only provide enough area for a Short Queen which is similar but a full five inches shorter. Due to these variances, we recommend taking measurements to ensure the correct size replacement mattress is selected.
What are the types of short queen mattresses?
A Short Queen mattress comes made from many different material types. The most common perhaps is the Short Queen memory foam mattress. However, there are RV air mattresses that we carry as well. These allow for effortless adjustment of the mattress comfort level using a remote control. They can be switched between soft, medium and firm from night to night. This can be especially useful in circumstances where the bed will be slept on by different people at different times.
