VW Transporter Campervan Bed Sizes Explained (T5, T6 & T6.1, T7)

The VW Transporter is one of the most popular campervans in the UK, and many conversions include a fold-out rock and roll bed or RIB bed. While these beds are practical for seating and sleeping, their sizes can vary slightly depending on the conversion company and bed system used.

Most VW Transporter campervan beds fall into five common sizes: 3/4 width beds, which are typically around 107-110cm wide, 112cm beds, 120cm beds, 130cm beds and full width beds, which can be around 145- 150cm wide. The length is usually around 185–190 cm when the bed is fully extended.

Because campervan cushions are often designed primarily for seating during the day, many van owners choose to add a campervan mattress topper to improve comfort at night. A topper designed specifically for VW Transporter rock and roll or RIB beds can help create a smoother sleeping surface and provide additional support.

If you’re planning to upgrade your campervan bed, it’s always worth checking the exact dimensions of your VW Transporter T5, T6,T6.1 or T7 bed system before choosing a mattress topper. With the right size and materials, you can make a big improvement to comfort and enjoy a much better night’s sleep on your campervan adventures.
