Foam for SteelPods Campervan Bed and Storage Solutions
SteelPods – a UK-based manufacturer of sleep and storage solutions for vans – has created an innovative all-in-one design that combines a comfortable, extendable bed with drawer compartments for avid campers and travellers. For any campervan using SteelPods solutions, alongside caravans and other trailers, custom-made mattresses and other foam components can be ordered to improve comfort and the overall experience.
Custom mattress foam for SteelPods beds
If you've bought a SteelPods solution for your campervan, or a similar combined sleep-and-storage system, custom cut to size foam mattresses can be ordered to your exact requirements. The bed in a SteelPods set-up measures approximately 1.18m wide by 1.9m long, typically the same size as most campervan beds. Most SteelPods solutions are used in modern VW campervans such as the VW Transporter, and bespoke cut-to-size mattress foam can be used on the sliding bed, which needs no legs or hinges.
A thin yet high-density, comfortable polyurethane foam can be ordered via our online cut to size tool. It provides maximum support, quality and comfort while staying sleek enough to complement the SteelPods design, which slides over the rear seats in use. Because the solution stays flat when folded, a thinner mattress is naturally required. With a choice of medium-high or high-density polyurethane foam for a custom mattress, you'll no longer worry about a bad night's sleep in your campervan. For a firm yet more luxurious feel, a high-density mattress can be topped with a memory foam layer.
Die-cut foam inserts for storage
The SteelPods design also includes plenty of storage, such as drawers and cubby holes. A common issue when travelling in a campervan is keeping items secure – pots, cutlery, glasses and more. The deep SteelPods drawers mean custom-sized foam inserts can be ordered and cut to keep everything stored safely and organised. We specialise in custom die-cut foam solutions made from various foam types depending on the use, ordered to the depth the SteelPods solution requires or to fit any other storage application.
Debbie from SteelPods very kindly left us this excellent five-star review:
"We use eFoam for our SteelPods pull-out beds. I can honestly recommend eFoam for their faultless service; the foam is easy to order and pay for, and unbelievably great quality. Any enquiry is dealt with immediately and, to add, in this current climate the speed of delivery is refreshingly reliable and quick! Thank you so much – I think this is my sixth order from you now..."
Our custom foam-cutting service gives customers a comfortable, high-quality mattress that's sleek and complements the SteelPods system very well. For more on using foam across caravans, campervans and trailers, read our dedicated motorhome and campervan blog.
