Bavaria Boat Mattresses

Measure the length, width, and any corner curves of each berth. Include the thickness of existing mattresses if they fit well. Note any obstacles like lee cloths or fiddles. For V-berths, measure both the head and foot widths. Take photos showing the berth shape and access route. Most Bavaria models have curved corners that require precise templating for a proper fit.

Most Bavaria boat mattresses work best at 4-6 inches thick. Thicker mattresses can restrict headroom in lower berths or make it difficult to access storage underneath. Quarter berths typically need 4 inches maximum due to space constraints. Consider the berth's primary use - occasional guests can manage with thinner comfort layers than regular sleeping berths.

Yes, memory foam works well for Bavaria boat mattresses. It moulds to irregular berth shapes and provides excellent comfort for extended cruising. Memory foam also compresses easily for storage when berths convert to seating. However, it can retain heat in warm climates and takes longer to dry if exposed to moisture compared to standard reflex foam options.

Lead times typically range from 7-14 working days depending on current production capacity and seasonal demand. Spring and early summer see higher demand as boat owners prepare for the sailing season. Complex shapes or multiple mattresses may require additional time. Free UK delivery is included, with arrangements made for marina or home delivery as needed.

Yes, guarantees up to 10 years are available depending on the foam type selected. Memory foam and pocket sprung options typically carry longer guarantees than standard reflex foam. The guarantee covers manufacturing defects and premature foam breakdown under normal use. Marine environments can be challenging, so proper ventilation and moisture protection help maintain mattress longevity.

All Bavaria boat mattresses include BS 7177 fire safety certification as standard. This certification is typically required for marine insurance policies and meets safety regulations for commercial charter vessels. The fire retardant treatment is applied during manufacturing and doesn't affect comfort or durability. Certification documentation is provided with each order for insurance purposes.

Yes, waterproof and breathable covers are available for Bavaria boat mattresses. Marine-grade fabrics resist moisture, salt air, and UV exposure better than standard household covers. Removable covers with zips make cleaning easier and protect the mattress from spills or condensation. Choose covers that complement your cabin's interior while providing practical protection in the marine environment.
