I would like to use this in an RV which has a 75" "short queen" mattress. Can this mattress be cut to shorten it?

Sharp scissors or a very sharp knife and a straight edge to cut it would work. If you know someone who sews making the cover fit would not be a problem either. I had no smell issue with ours. I let it self inflate and air out for a couple of days and have been sleeping great ever since!!!

It could Terence, however, it has a cover on it so when you are done cutting it...the cover might not fit so tightly. You would need something very sturdy and sharp to be able to cut the foam. This is a great gel foam mattress and has firm support. I prefer a little less support..but it's well worth the money. I bought it because it already had a cover on it, which you too would probably want knowing that you are putting it in an RV. Mine didn't have a smell either...and it came up to consistency within 48 hrs after unpacking!

Not sure because the cover would be larger than the pad but I think the foam would be alright to cut just the cover would be larger. We returned ours because to smell was so strong even after months. It may air out in the summer but we got tired of waiting so we sent it back.

Pretty sure it came in less than that length, as it fits within a 72" bay in my camper van. I'll measure again this weekend to be sure.

I didn't need to cut mine but I'm sure U could cut it if U use very sharp scissors or a sharp knife.

Yes, I went out and bought a mattress foam and cut it to the size of the pad it had. The pad itself is pretty firm.

No it cannot be made shorter, but if you have the height this is a great addition to any room. I love mine!

I dont think it would be wise to start cutting this matress. It can be cut very easily with razor sharp edges. The instructions on the packaging instruct to use a scissor to remove the vacuum package of the mattress. I was toying with the idea of cutting a full sized matrress but im not sure if the outer shell of the mattress is heat treated to limit the flow of air. I definitely would recommend contacting the manufacturer with questions about cutting the mattress or having a mattress custom made. Those are my concerns. Im sure it would be fine if it were to be cut but i do not have enough information to recommend doing so. I dont think it would be wise to start cutting this matress.

If you meant making the working rolling platform shorter- I can't see how it could be done - nor why. It is a great machine as it is. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you.

Yes, it can be shortened. The line "feed" side has a knurled knob which may be tightened at any length of line feed.

This is not a tight fit for the bed of the truck. I do not see why it couldn't be trimmed, it would just look rough on the edges.

Bless the little helper! Unfortunately, no it cannot be shortened. Just an FYI to you and others who read this, I have had mine a few months and the handle cracked so it is wound up in duct tape.

I certainly think so, use a yard stick and mark then use a box cutter. Or you could call aFoam shop and see if they could do it. You could also call the manufactor.I was thinking cutting one for an RV bed as the are not normal sizes. Their name is not Novaform you have to look it up....good luck.

You should be able to cut this unit to fit a smaller object such as chair, lounge or whatever you wish. You will probably want to buy the smallest possible or as close to the size you need as possible. Personally, I would try to find a firmer cession if possible and go with dense foam under it; it's not firm enough.

Hi Colleen, I have no experience in cutting this brand of memory foam but I have trimmed other brands successfully to fit various mattresses. Always use a very sharp electric knife. Works great. Hope this will help.

Yes, it can be "trimmed". I bought them for a camper with a size of 34 x 72". Length wise it fit, but I had to cut off about 6" in width. So I pulled off it's cloth, washable, zippered cover, then cut one seam on the fire resistant cover (feels like a nomex of some sort) and removed it. I then used a standard kitchen electric knife and a straight edge and cut it down. Slipped the covers back on and viola. Fit perfect in the camper. Took some effort, but certainly cheaper than after market RV mattresses.

I am assuming that you wanted an answer from Amazon themselves, however, they just passed it on to those who have already purchased one. Try contacting Amazon customer service direct for an official answer. I myself would say no...do not cut this mattress. I think if you did, that would nullify any warranty you might have. Since it is memory foam just try squeezing it in because when you take it out it will return to normal.

Yes, within nominal size variations. This mattress was a little taller and just wider and longer than the original mattress by about 1/2 inch. However the original mattress was a pretty poor piece of junk. Camper mattresses are known as short queen or short king, and are about 6 inches shorter than the bed in your house. Otherwise they are the same. This mattress is one of the best mattresses we have ever slept on, well worth the price.

We use ours in our RV and it's just on a plywood frame that's typical in RV's, but it would be just fine on a box spring or any other firm or semi firm platform. This is a wonderful mattress and worth the money we spent on it. Both my wife and I sleep like a baby when we're camping now.

I'm not sure, but I got a queen size and it is just memory foam, it can be cut to fit a certain size you need

No. The headboard is 47" at its outer edges and over 50" in the center. The legs cannot be shortened.
