Aqualine Narrowboat Mattresses

Any size can be manufactured to your exact measurements. Common Aqualine bed sizes include modified doubles, singles with curved corners, and custom shapes to fit around heating systems. Simply provide length, width, and any corner cuts needed. Maximum thickness available is typically 8 inches due to cabin height restrictions.

Measure the bed base length and width at the widest points. Note any corner cuts, curves, or obstacles like heating pipes. Take measurements in multiple places as boat beds aren't always perfectly rectangular. A paper template helps for complex shapes. Include required thickness based on your cabin headroom.

Options include pocket sprung, memory foam, reflex foam, and latex. All materials meet BS 7177 fire safety standards required for boat insurance. Pocket sprung provides traditional support, memory foam offers pressure relief, while reflex foam gives firm support at lower cost. Covers are typically removable and washable.

Lead times range from 7-14 working days depending on seasonal demand and current production capacity. Summer months may take longer due to higher demand. Free UK delivery is included. The mattress arrives vacuum-packed for easy transport through narrow boat doorways and companionways.

Guarantees up to 10 years are available depending on the materials chosen. Pocket sprung mattresses typically offer longer guarantees than foam options. The guarantee covers manufacturing defects and premature sagging. Normal wear and tear isn't covered. Registration may be required within 30 days of delivery.

Yes, curved corners and complex shapes are standard. Many Aqualine boats have rounded bed corners or cutouts for heating systems. The manufacturing process accommodates any shape required. Providing a paper template ensures accuracy for complex curves. No additional cost applies for standard corner cuts.

Most narrowboat owners choose 6-8 inches thickness for comfort while maintaining headroom. Thinner mattresses around 4-5 inches work for occasional use beds. Consider your cabin height, existing bedding, and personal comfort preferences. Thicker isn't always better in confined spaces with limited headroom.
