Mattress bag

[Amarillo]

I have had a quote of £48 + £5.82 postage for a heavy duty nylon mattress bag 151 x 51 x 31cm with a zip along three sides (151cm & 2 x 51cm).

Does that sound reasonable?

 

[Perfectos]

Stick a Brandrup label on it and it would be £148 +

For a U.K. made bespoke item IMO that’s ok

 

[paul_f]

For a one off that seems pretty reasonable as it is made in the UK.
Where was it from as I am after a bag for our beach mattress

Correspondence below. I have simplified the description of the mattress. To describe the Beach comfort mattress design in words would take several pages!

Would you like a Bag or Cover Bag Type of Bag/Cover Rectangular Bag Shape Dimensions Quantity 1 Width (cm) 151 Height (cm) 31 Depth (cm) 51 Style Your Bag Type of Fabric Heavy Duty Closure Type Zipped Closure Carry Handles No Handles Padded Un-Padded Customising with own logo? Logo Not Required Additional Information Likely Bag / Cover Contents Folding campervan mattress Any other helpful info re. your requirements The bag is for a three-fold (four section) VW campervan mattress. In transit, the mattress sits on the rear parcel shelf of the campervan. To use, the rear bench seat of the van folds down completely, and is level with the parcel shelf. The parcel shelf and flattened bench seat together form a flat bed base 150cm wide and 200cm long. For ease of use, the zip should unzip and fold completely back from the 151cm x 51cm top, so the open bag can be completely pushed down to reveal the mattress for unfolding, then the bag removed from beneath the mattress, all without removing the mattress from the rear of the van, so that in wet weather it won't get wet.

Sounds good to me. anything bespoke is always a bit pricey but this doesn’t seem to bad.

 

[Perfectos]

Certainly interested to see the finish result, what no CALI logo !

Jackyards heavy duty cotton bag
£199 - same colour scheme as our seat covers

Bags2cover heavy duty nylon bag
£54.98 - plain black

I’ve ordered one of each. The VW comfort mattress will go in the Jackyards bag, the Brandrup mattress will go in the Bags2cover bag.

I’ll post a review when they arrive.

worth a punt for £20... this easily fits our Ocean comfort mattress in it. We use the bag to keep it clean, when we leave it at home on occasions. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01N2HPFHA/?tag=eliteelect-21

The folded Brandrup mattress is 150 x 50 x 30cm.

The folded VW Comfort mattress is an odd shape, but not exceeding 150 x 50 x 30cm.

 

[paul_f]

The dimensions of the VW mattress depends on the way it is folded or zipped together.
With the multi flex down i had the mattress like this

However for a bag I think it would be easiest to have it like one of these


Not sure which to go for though

If you push the two small pads in that photo into a vertical position you get the mattress shape I measured: 150 x 50 x 30cm with two long rectangular shaped rods missing.

Thanks for the recommendation, mine arrived today really impressed with the quality for £20 and a perfect fit!

I have received the bags2cover.co.uk mattress bag (£54.98).

First impressions are good rather than excellent.



The bag with the Brandrup mattress inside is bigger than the mattress. A rough measurement gives 151 x 54 x 33cm plus zip width, not the 151 x 51 x 31cm I requested. I took one further measurement, the circumference, by wrapping a length of garden twine around the bag, then cutting. The twine measured 168cm suggesting 52 x 32cm for the width and height. The 168 was probably an underestimate as there was no slack in the twine but the bag was crumpled.

However, by happy coincidence the multiflex pad, which needs to be used with the Brandrup mattress, will also fit inside the bag.





I then tried the VW comfort mattress inside the bag.





A much closer fit, but not tight.

So partly by luck, my rating for the product changes from good to excellent. It can be used to transport or store the Brandrup mattress and multiflex pad or the VW comfort mattress.

My one regret is not asking for carry handles. I thought it would be too large for carry handles, it is not. For me this is not a significant problem as it will only be transferred between a high shelf in our bike shed and the boot of our van, but nonetheless, carry straps would be useful.

The dimensions of that are 120 x 80 x 15 cm

The dimensions of the folded Beach mattress (VW or Brandrup) are 150 x 50 x 30, so if the 80 x 15 gave sufficient circumference for 50 x 30, there would still be 30cm of mattress poking out of one end.

I agree that £50 is not cheap, but it is heavy duty nylon, and it is a bespoke size, perfectly fitting with the mattress pad (by pure good luck).

 

[Pohnjiper]

Hi. £19.99 on Amazon. Mattress fits in perfectly.

£50 sounds pretty reasonable.

I made this to keep my comfort mattress clean and make it easier to move it in and out of the house but it took the best part of the day and I'd have gladly paid someone else £50 to do a better job...

I just got a waterproof fabric cover for the mattress. Lower the seat pull out the mattress, unfold the 2 duvets, thick and thin, and sleep.

Nowadays our mattresses spend 90% of the time with the spiders in the bike shed.

 

[calicatchers]

We asked Denise at Jackyards to make us a bag for our beach comfort mattress that matches our seat covers. Zips around each end and vecro across one long edge means that the the bag is easily unfolded when the matress is needed. Pictures dont really do it justice byt we are relly happy. Bag was delierately made with room to speare so all our beeding can also go in it when we are travelling.

Hi Tom,
I've just got a quote from them for the same thing, any further feedback? I have requested handles but went for Standard fabric.
Thanks

Hi Tom,

I have the VW comfort mattress and have just got a quote for the same thing with Handles. Do you have any further feedback on it since the post?
I had requested standard fabric so think I'll change to heavy duty - any other tips?
Thanks

I think you should definitely upgrade the fabric. I spoke with them of the phone, and the standard fabic is, apparently, flimsy. Handles are a good idea.

My custom made bag from Bags2Cover arrived yesterday - very impressed.
I went on the generous side with measurements so we can include other sheets etc in it, so the comfort mattress sailed into it with no problems. Handles make it really easy to transport and its now stored in the garage with confidence that its protected from the kids!
Thanks for the info.

Any pics of your mattress bag? How has it held up after a year? Thinking of something similar for our beach?
