Have you ever wondered what semi truck drivers do during long runs that take several days and thousands of miles? If you’ve assumed that paying for a hotel for several nights can quickly cut into your profit, you’re absolutely right. The solution to this lies in purchasing the right semi truck mattress size that allows for optimal comfort without taking up too much space. What truck mattress size should you purchase? 

There is no standard when it comes to a semi truck bed size. That said, the average semi truck mattress size is 80 inches long by 40 inches wide. The dimensions can vary greatly, however, depending on the make and model of your rig. We’ve put together a short guide to help you find the best truck mattress size when you’re on the road for days at a time. 

WHAT SEMI TRUCK BED SIZE DO I NEED? 

For most sleeper cabs, what’s the right truck mattress size? There’s seemingly an endless number of models on the market when it comes to semi trucks. That means there is no one-size for every truck mattress size solution. Instead, try and make your selection on the best semi truck mattress size with the following points in mind: 

  • Don’t be so concerned with the mattress thickness as opposed to the actual semi truck bed size (length and width)
  • A standard size might fit in your sleep space – but it’s always better to get a mattress made specifically for semi trucks.
  • The guide below can help help you narrow down the best specs based on your truck.
