Child Size Boat Mattresses

Child size boat mattresses are made to measure for each specific berth. Common dimensions range from small single sizes around 60cm wide up to larger single berths of 90cm width. Length typically varies between 140cm to 180cm depending on the boat's design. Unusual shapes like tapered V-berths, curved corners, or angled cuts are accommodated through custom manufacturing to exact measurements.

Measure the berth base at its widest and longest points, then note any angles, curves, or cut-off corners. Take measurements in centimetres for accuracy. If the berth has a complex shape, create a paper template by tracing around the base. Photograph the berth from above and include a ruler for scale reference when ordering.

Most child size boat mattresses range from 10cm to 15cm thick. Consider the height clearance above the berth and the child's weight. Thicker mattresses provide more comfort but reduce headroom. Check that lockers or drawers beneath the berth can still function with the chosen thickness. Memory foam options typically start at 12cm thickness.

Yes, properly manufactured child size boat mattresses comply with BS 7177 fire safety certification required for marine insurance. The materials resist ignition and slow flame spread. Always verify certification when ordering, as standard domestic mattresses don't meet these marine safety requirements and could invalidate boat insurance policies.

Lead times typically range from 7-14 working days depending on seasonal demand and current production capacity. Custom cutting and marine-grade materials require manufacturing time rather than off-the-shelf availability. Free UK delivery is standard. Rush orders may be possible during quieter periods but expect normal lead times during peak boating season.

Memory foam is available for child size boat mattresses and provides excellent comfort and support. It moulds to body shape and returns to original form when not in use. Memory foam works well in marine environments as it's naturally resistant to dust mites and maintains shape despite boat movement and vibration.

Guarantees up to 10 years are available depending on the foam type and construction chosen. This covers manufacturing defects and premature sagging or deterioration. The guarantee doesn't cover damage from moisture, accidents, or normal wear. Keep proof of purchase and follow any care instructions to maintain guarantee validity.
