A Short Guide For Fleet Managers On Choosing The Right Truck Mattress

by Kogler PR Team

Running a truck and transportation company is a tedious job and on top of it, the fleet managers have to deal with the issues like regular replacement of the truck bed mattresses and hearing rejections from new drivers because of unhygienic truck cabins. 

So, in our series of blogs that are meant to aid the truck fleet managers in making their professional life easier, we are bringing you yet another piece on how to choose the right mattress. 

 

What is a truck mattress?

 

Undoubtedly, good quality truck mattresses are the need of long haul truck drivers. No matter if you want to take a quick nap or a complete 8-hour sleep or just convert your truck to a small camping spot by the riverside, a comfortable truck mattress is essential. 

 

As the trucking and transporting industry grew, the focus shifted from making them portable to using the technology for enhancing comfort and properties like anti-microbial, anti-mildew, smell resistant and more. Kogler is one such name that is ruling the industry with their Antimicrobial and Anti-odor Performance Flippable Mattress made in the USA.

 

Factors to consider while choosing a truck mattress

 

If you are a truck fleet manager, then you must understand the importance of taking care of your biggest assets- the drivers. It is your responsibility to ensure they get proper 8-hour sleep while they are on duty and their body is not too stiff because of the poor quality of the mattresses. 

 

So, here we are bringing you across 5 must-have factors that you should consider while purchasing new mattresses for your trucks.


1.Durable: This goes without saying, right? Like why would you like to invest in a product that requires frequent replacement or high maintenance? As a truck fleet manager, decreasing the overhead charges to increase the revenue is one of the most challenging goals and you can achieve this by bringing-in sustainable products like Kogler's Antimicrobial and Anti-odor Performance Flippable Mattress. 

 

 

2.Stiffness: Ensure that the surface is neither too firm nor too soft. If it is too hard, then it can create discomfort around the neck area, shoulders and pelvic region which ultimately results in complete body ache. Whereas, soft mattresses tend to cause severe backaches. They are also quite wrong for stomach sleepers and the ones who are heavier in weight as the body creates a pit hole. To resolve this, we at Kogler, have manufactured flippable mattresses so that the drivers can choose between the firm and soft side as per their convenience. 

 

 

3.Does not emit foul odor: Drivers have to cook inside the same cabin as they sleep in, and often the foul smell of spices and eggs gets infused in the mattress. This is one of the major reasons why new drivers reject a job. Unhygienic living conditions cause many mental and physical health-related issues, therefore always invest in a good quality truck bed mattress. 

 

 

 4.  Easy to Clean: Do you know a single session of dry cleaning can cost you anywhere between $25-50 per mattress. Imagine how much money you can save by making a one-time investment in an easy-to-clean truck bed mattress.

 

 

 5.  Fits the truck cabin: Sometimes standard-sized mattresses do not fit your cabin or even if they do, they leave no space for moving around for other activities. This can get really troublesome. 

The best way is to measure the length and breadth of the area where you are planning to lay the mattress and place customized orders at Kogler. You can also consider measuring the preferable height in case the headroom is less.
