RV Short Queen Dimensions & Radius Corners
Dimensional specifications for RV bedding: 60x75" Short Queen, 72x80" RV King, and cut-corner radius metrology.
Short Queen = 60" x 75"
Direct answer summary
Recreational vehicle (RV) mattresses do not follow standard residential dimensions due to slide-out clearances and curved vehicle hulls. An RV Short Queen measures exactly 60 x 75 inches (5 inches shorter than a residential 60x80 Queen). RV King beds typically measure 72 x 80 inches. Additionally, many RV beds feature rounded 'radius corners' (typically 6-inch or 10-inch radius cuts) or 45-degree angle chamfers to clear wardrobe cabinets.
Key points
RV Short Queen measures 60 x 75 inches - 5 inches shorter than standard residential 60x80 Queen.
RV King measures 72 x 80 inches - 4 inches narrower than standard 76x80 Eastern King.
Many travel trailers require 6-inch or 10-inch radius curved corners to clear slide-outs.

Checklist
Foundation Rigidity & Slat Support Audit
Step-by-step checklist to verify bed frame compliance, slat spacing tolerances, and center support.
- 01
Measure Platform, Not Old Mattress
Measure the bare plywood RV bed deck width and length with slide-outs retracted.
Watch for: Never assume your RV takes standard residential sizes; residential beds block slide-outs.
- 02
Determine Radius Corner Arc
Measure from where the curve starts on the side rail to the imaginary square corner.
Watch for: Buying square-corner beds for radius frames prevents bedroom doors from opening.
- 03
Order RV-Specific Mattress
Purchase custom RV mattresses from manufacturers like Brooklyn Bedding or Mattress Insider.
Watch for: Avoid attempting to cut and slice residential pocket coil mattresses yourself.
