boat mattresses

Measure the length, width, and thickness of your berth space. Include any angled corners or curved sections by marking these on paper and measuring key points. Note any obstructions like hull curves or fixtures that affect the mattress shape. Most boat mattresses range from 4-8 inches thick, but measure your headroom to confirm the maximum thickness that works in your space.

Lead times typically range from 7-14 working days depending on seasonal demand and current production capacity. Complex shapes with multiple angles may require additional time for cutting and quality checks. Free UK delivery is standard, with mattresses packaged in protective covers. Rush orders may be available during quieter periods for an additional fee.

Yes, boat mattresses can be manufactured with BS 7177 fire safety certification when specified. This certification is often required for marine insurance purposes and commercial vessels. The fire-retardant treatments are applied to both the foam core and fabric covering. Standard domestic-grade mattresses may not meet these marine safety standards, so specify your requirements when ordering.

Memory foam, reflex foam, and standard polyurethane foam are all available for boat mattresses. Memory foam provides excellent comfort but can be affected by temperature changes in marine environments. Reflex foam offers good support and durability. Standard foam is the most economical option. Consider the typical temperature range in your boat when choosing foam type.

Waterproof and water-resistant covers are available for boat mattresses. Marine-grade vinyl provides complete waterproofing but can feel less breathable. Water-resistant fabric covers offer better comfort whilst protecting against condensation and minor moisture. Removable covers allow for easier cleaning and maintenance, which is particularly useful in marine environments where dampness can be an issue.

Guarantees up to 10 years are available depending on the foam type and construction quality chosen. Memory foam typically carries longer guarantees than standard foam. The guarantee covers manufacturing defects and premature foam degradation under normal use. Marine environments can be demanding, so proper ventilation and occasional airing help maintain the mattress condition and guarantee validity.
