Beneteau Boat Mattresses

Every Beneteau boat mattress is made to individual measurements rather than standard sizes. Each berth shape varies between models and even individual boats due to manufacturing tolerances. Measurements are taken from templates or detailed drawings showing length, width, angles, and any cutouts needed around fixtures. This ensures the mattress fits the exact contours of your specific berth.

Thickness typically ranges from 4-6 inches depending on the berth type and available headroom. V-berths often use 4-5 inch thickness to maintain adequate sitting headroom, whilst aft cabins can accommodate 6 inches for enhanced comfort. The thickness must also consider any berth cushion recesses and ensure the mattress sits flush with surrounding surfaces.

Memory foam is available but requires careful consideration in marine environments. High-density reflex foam often performs better on boats due to superior moisture resistance and faster recovery. Memory foam can retain dampness and feel firmer in cold conditions. Reflex foam provides consistent support regardless of temperature and handles the marine environment more effectively.

All mattresses include BS 7177 fire safety certification as standard, which satisfies insurance requirements for boats used for overnight accommodation. This certification ensures the foam and fabric coverings meet strict flammability standards. The certification is particularly important for charter boats or those kept in marina berths where insurance policies specifically require compliant furnishings.

Lead times typically range from 7-14 working days depending on seasonal demand and current production capacity. Spring and early summer see higher demand as boat owners prepare for the sailing season. Winter orders often have shorter lead times. Free UK delivery is included, with the mattress vacuum-packed for easier handling through boat hatches and companionways.

Guarantees up to 10 years are available depending on the foam specification chosen. Higher density foams typically carry longer guarantees due to their superior durability and resistance to compression. The guarantee covers manufacturing defects and premature foam breakdown but excludes damage from moisture, staining, or normal wear from regular use in marine environments.

Remove the existing mattress and measure the berth base directly. Note any angles, curves, or cutouts around fixtures like masts or through-hulls. Create a paper template for complex shapes, marking the head end clearly. Include thickness measurements and note any recesses in the berth base. Detailed drawings with all dimensions ensure accurate manufacturing of the replacement mattress.
