Braidbar Boats Mattresses

Measure the length, width, and thickness of your berth. Include any angled corners, curved edges, or cutouts for fixtures. Draw a simple template on paper if the shape is complex. Take measurements at the widest and longest points, noting where the berth tapers or curves. Photograph the sleeping area from above to help clarify unusual shapes.

Lead times typically range from 7-14 working days depending on seasonal demand and current production capacity. Summer months often see longer lead times due to higher demand from boat owners preparing for the season. Free UK delivery is standard. Complex shapes or special materials may add 2-3 days to production time.

Yes, all mattresses use BS 7177 fire safety certified materials required for boat insurance compliance. The fabrics and foams resist moisture and are suitable for marine environments. This certification ensures the mattress meets the same fire safety standards as commercial marine vessels and satisfies insurance requirements for private boats.

Options include reflex foam for firm support, memory foam for pressure relief, and hybrid combinations. Reflex foam works well in damp conditions and maintains its shape. Memory foam provides comfort but may feel firmer in cold cabins. Thickness ranges from 3 inches to 8 inches depending on berth depth and comfort preferences.

Yes, waterproof and water-resistant covers are available in various fabrics. Marine-grade vinyl provides complete waterproofing but can feel warm. Breathable waterproof fabrics offer protection while allowing air circulation. Standard fabric covers work well in dry cabins with good ventilation. All covers are removable and washable.

Guarantees up to 10 years are available depending on the foam type and construction. The guarantee covers manufacturing defects and premature foam breakdown under normal use. Marine environments can be challenging, so proper ventilation and occasional airing help maintain the mattress condition. Guarantee terms vary by foam density and mattress specification.

Use cardboard or paper to create a full-size template of unusual berth shapes. Trace around the sleeping area, marking any cutouts for posts, fixtures, or equipment. Label the template with measurements and indicate which end is the head or foot. This method ensures accuracy for V-berths, curved settees, or irregular cabin layouts.
