When you’re out and about enjoying the caravanning lifestyle, you want a comfortable night’s sleep and this Wanderluxe caravan mattress topper by Dreamer RV delivers on its promise.
Caravan manufacturers will make all sorts of claims about the comfort levels of their mattresses. However, the reality is that — for space, weight and cost reasons — they are rarely as good as your bed at home.
This is why I jumped at the chance to test a caravan mattress topper from Dreamer RV over the summer break. Lying down on the job? Someone has to do it …
I came across Dreamer RV at the Melbourne Caravan & Camping Leisurefest at Sandown Racecourse in October 2024. Business owner Tara Cameron-Smith was sharing a stand with Laura Bridgman from MeanderWild which makes fitted sheets and sheets sets with rounded corners for a snug fit on caravan beds (check out my review of the sheets here).
Tara and her husband Jim are the brains behind Dreamer RV. They spent three years travelling with their three boys, so they know all too well the sleep problems that can come with caravan life.
“A common talking point we found on our travels was everyone’s less than stellar caravan mattress,” Tara said. “They just don’t make for a good night’s sleep, particularly when you’re used to your comfy bed at home.
“We tried everything — buying standard mattress toppers and cutting them down to fit, sewing them, tucking them, trying to come up with a solution. It was when we decided to create our own tailor-made solution that the Wanderluxe Caravan Mattress Topper was born.”
The Wanderluxe caravan mattress topper is designed to the unique sizing specifications of the caravan mattress, featuring curved corners at the foot of the bed to make it all neat and tidy. If you’ve tried a standard mattress topper/protector on a caravan mattress, you’ll know how difficult it is to keep it all tucked away.
It has an anti-slip base with elastic straps to secure it to your mattress. Over the top is the soft Tencel cover with skirt, and this is easily removed for washing. The Wanderluxe caravan mattress topper comprises a high quality memory foam topper infused with a cooling gel so you don’t bake and sweat on hot summer nights, and I can attest that this actually works after spending a few sticky nights on the NSW mid-north coast over summer.

There are various product sizes of the Wanderluxe caravan mattress toppers available. The queen measures 1500mm x 1890mm x 50mm with rounded corners at the foot end of the bed, but caravan mattresses don't have standard sizing so measure yours before you buy. The topper is also light at 7.2kg, helping to save the precious payload.
The Wanderluxe caravan mattress topper delivers on its promise. I tried it — and the MeanderWild sheets I bought last year — for 16 nights over the summer break and I reckon both are game changers for getting a good night’s sleep. For me, the difference was palpable. Bonus points for not having to wrestle with standard, ill-fitting toppers, protectors and sheets that just don’t work well on caravan mattresses every morning when you’re trying to make the bed.
Wanderluxe caravan mattress toppers come with a two-year all-inclusive warranty and conveniently packaged for fast and free shipping Australia-wide.
The queen-sized Wanderluxe caravan mattress topper retails for $349. The double is $329 and bunk toppers are $199. It also comes in king and super king and east–west versions for campers. For more information about the Dreamer RV caravan mattress topper and other Dreamer RV products, head here .
