For Trucks

Custom Truck Mattresses in Houston

Texas Mattress Makers builds custom truck mattresses handcrafted to fit your sleeper cab’s exact dimensions. Whether you drive a semi-truck, pickup, or big rig, our Mattress Experts™ work with you to select the right components, size, and comfort level for your body and sleep needs. Common truck mattress sizes range from 32″ x 79″ to 42″ x 80″, and we build every mattress at our Downtown Houston factory with no additional labor fees for custom sizing.

For many, a truck can feel like a second home on the road and a place to sleep. Unfortunately, trucks typically don’t have enough space for a regular mattress, leading some truck drivers to settle for an air mattress or a cheaply made pad in the sleeper cab when it’s time to rest. 

Options like inflatable sleep mats can work in a pinch, but they’re not a long-term solution for someone spending serious time on the road. What you need is a custom truck mattress that will not only fit perfectly in your truck, but will be just as comfortable as your mattress at home.

If you’re tired of getting poor sleep while you’re long-haul trucking, Texas Mattress Makers customizes top-quality truck mattresses to your body, truck, and budget. Whether you’re behind the wheel for work or play, you deserve to get the best quality sleep possible every night, no matter where you choose to snooze.

“I never thought I could get a good night’s sleep in my truck but Texas Mattress Makers showed me that I could. They made the whole process of getting a mattress made for my semi-truck easy and stress-free. Now, I can sleep on my new mattress and wake up ready to drive.”

Why sleep matters on the road

Truck driving is one of the most physically and mentally demanding jobs in the country. You’re behind the wheel for long stretches, managing a multi-ton vehicle through all kinds of conditions, and your alertness isn’t optional. It’s essential.

Unfortunately, truck drivers on average get less than 5 hours of sleep every night, which is well below the recommended 7–9 hours adults need to function at their best. The consequences go beyond feeling tired. Fatigue causes slower reaction times, poor decision-making, and tunnel vision, all of which are dangerous when you’re operating a vehicle of that size and weight. 

In America, up to 1 in 5 fatal crashes involve a fatigued driver. So, yes, the danger of tired driving is incredibly real. The quality of what you sleep on matters just as much as how long you sleep (they tend to go hand-in-hand). 

How do truckers sleep in their truck?

Most drivers stick an inflatable exped mattress, a cheap foam pad, or a deflated air mattress in their truck beds or behind the driver’s seat. Some drivers even resort to simply reclining their seat to sleep. None of these methods give your body the support it needs to recover from long hours of sitting in a fixed position.

Back pain, hip pain, and disrupted sleep are common complaints among truck drivers, and the right mattress can make a real difference. Because you deserve better than just a flipped-down seat.

What mattresses are available for my truck?

It can be tough to not only find a truck mattress size that fits perfectly into your vehicle, but also one that is comfortable, supportive, and suitable for what you need to get proper rest. 

Whether you’re looking for a slim semi truck mattress for your sleeper, a pickup truck mattress, or a back seat mattress for trucks, the Mattress Experts™ at Texas Mattress Makers have built them all for drivers just like you. 

Texas Mattress Makers is a local mattress manufacturer and retailer, meaning we make all of the mattresses that we sell in our on-site factory. Because we employ expert craftsmen, we can create beds that will outperform any other truck mattresses you’ll find on the market. Same quality and craftsmanship as any other mattress we produce, built specifically for your space and your body.

How can I get a custom-made mattress for my truck?

Our Mattress Experts™ will walk you through the process of figuring out which mattress components and materials would best benefit your unique body and sleep needs. The best way to do this is by asking you a series of questions to get to know you. This information will help us know what type of mattress will give you the best quality sleep possible in your truck. From there, we’ll create your custom truck mattress.

1. Determine the size

As mentioned previously, most standard mattress sizes won’t fit perfectly into a truck. However, our craftsmen can create a custom truck mattress size for your truck that will be a perfect fit without sacrificing quality or comfort. We are no strangers to making a custom RV mattress, so we have the experience and capabilities to make a comfortable, yet supportive custom-made mattress for your truck.

To get your truck’s measurements, you can either bring your truck to your nearest showroom and have it measured, or follow these steps:

• Measure the length of your sleeper area
• Measure the width of your sleeper area (side to side)
• Measure the height (head to toe) of your sleeper area

Take into consideration where the mattress will lie and what objects (like car seats) may be in the way. If you have any specific mattress thickness requirements, please be sure to mention this as well.

Here are the most common truck mattress sizes:

• 42″ x 80″
• 38″ x 80″
• 36″ x 76″
• 35″ x 79″
• 32″ x 79″

2. Choose the components

Not every truck mattress will benefit every truck driver. When you meet with a Mattress Expert™, they will ask about specific criteria that may affect your comfort on the road. From there, they hand-select the components that will give your body the support and relief it needs.

• Your body type: Specifically, your height and where you carry your weight on your body. This will help to determine where support from your mattress is needed.
• Your preferred sleeping position: Whether you sleep on your back, side, or stomach, this information tells us what pressure points on your body interact with the mattress so we can better determine what components will provide the proper cushion and support.
• Any health conditions or concerns: Conditions such as arthritis, sciatica, back pain, and acid reflux can impact your sleep quality. Certain components can help combat the discomfort and provide relief.

3. Complete your sleep setup

When you’re sleeping in your truck, your mattress isn’t the only thing you’ll need. You should also consider the following:

• A mattress protector is a smart investment for your truck’s bed and your bed at home. It protects your investment from spills and wear and can extend the life of your mattress significantly, so you won’t have to replace your truck mattress frequently.
• Our Ice Blue Cooling Technology can be added to any custom truck mattress, keeping your body temperature regulated all night long. This is especially useful in a sleeper cab with limited air circulation.
• A quality pillow can help reduce neck pain by keeping your head, neck, and shoulders properly supported. Don’t cheap out on a pillow. Check out our guide for how to choose a pillow that will suit you best.

Frequently asked questions about truck mattresses 

Where can I find high-quality truck mattresses near me?

If you’re in the Houston area, Texas Mattress Makers is your local source for custom truck mattresses built to your exact specifications. Unlike national retailers or online-only brands, we build every mattress by hand at our Downtown Houston factory. You can visit any of our Houston-area showrooms or call us at (713) 257-9902 during showroom hours.

What size mattress fits in a truck bed?

Standard mattress sizes rarely fit a truck sleeper cab correctly. The most common custom truck mattress sizes are 42″ x 80″, 38″ x 80″, 36″ x 76″, 35″ x 79″, and 32″ x 79″, but dimensions vary by make and model. The best approach is to measure your specific sleeper area (length, width, and height clearance) before ordering. Our Mattress Experts™ can also take measurements from your original mattress if you bring it into one of our Houston showrooms.

Is a custom truck mattress expensive?

At Texas Mattress Makers, we charge no additional labor fees for custom sizing. You only pay for the materials used to build your mattress, which in many cases works out to the same or less than a comparable standard model. Our factory-direct model means you’re not paying retail markup either.

Can I add cooling technology to a custom truck mattress?

Yes. We can add our Ice Blue Cooling Technology to any custom truck mattress. This is particularly useful for drivers sleeping in sleeper cabs with limited ventilation or air circulation, where heat buildup can disrupt sleep quality throughout the night.
