- In this video I show you exactly how we cut a mattress to fit the odd size of a custom van build. It's really simple and only requires one inexpensive tool (about $20).

➳ WHO WE ARE
We're Lisa & Jeff Warnick. We've been representing Thrive Life freeze-dried foods for over 10 years. It's been a dream of ours to have a van to travel the country, supporting our team and sharing the Thrive love.
After we built our first van, we realized how much we love the creative process of designing and building vans...so now we're building and selling our own custom vans. We also do conversions on client-owned vans.

If you're converting your own van, we hope you find our channel helpful. We've spent hundreds of hours researching and testing the best materials and processes for our van builds. We've put together a list of the materials we (and others in our van community) have used and that we can recommend so that you don't have to spend all those hours on research.

How funny😂 I clicked the link for the mattress and it's the same one we have on our bed at home. It's a great mattress! We've had it for 5 years now.
THANKS!!! Have to convert from RV queen to king and will be doing this!
Great video. Thank you! I’ve used electric carving knives to cut foam and have always struggled with obtaining a clean, straight edge. I’m excited to try your perfectly vertical cutting position with the plywood guide! What a fantastic result. Thanks again!
Good luck!
Excellent video. Thanks.
Great video🤙.. I purchased mine from Foam Global they sell the foam mattress only no fiber glass cover but you only get the foam no outer cover . Great cutting tips.
Wow
super thanks
I definitely plan on doing this, but I saw some Amazon reviews discussing fiberglass contamination after removing the cover on the mattress you linked. Was this a concern in your conversion? Thanks!
We put the covers back on after cutting.
As somebody who saw all the comments on fiberglass, and was worried it was the new asbestos scandal. I can say I think it's just people who had no exposure to fiberglass in the past we're surprised to find out it can create tiny little cuts and irritate your skin. It's probably not best to put it under your nose and take deep breaths.... From what I can tell that's the extent of it. I feel like the word fiberglass is now such a hot word I wanted to add this comment to help squelch anyone else who thought they were going to need to join a class action lawsuit due to previous exposure like I did at first
What product did you use for the cheesecloth mattress cover you mentioned?
I just back on the cheese cloth that comes with the mattress.
Did you use the 6" mattress?
Yes.
Take the cover off of the VAN?
I think the inner liner's purpose is fireproofing, and is likely made of fiberglass. It's best to avoid mattresses with fiberglass as over time the shards can leak out and lead to health issues. CA already banned them, effective 2027.
Use a mask when cutting and cover the mattress when done.... Fiberglass is definitely irritating, but as a former child of DIY old house owning parent... I did lots of fiberglass insulating in my formative years, worst thing was the irritating if I didn't wear gloves...
