Contoured Boat Mattresses

Templates are created using the existing mattress outline or by measuring the berth directly. For curved areas, multiple measurements are taken at different points to capture the exact contours. The template includes all angles, curves, and cutouts needed for a precise fit against the hull.

Most boat berths suit 4-6 inch thick mattresses, depending on the available headroom and storage underneath. Thicker mattresses provide more comfort but reduce cabin height. The berth frame depth and any hinged access requirements also influence the maximum thickness possible.

Yes, marine mattresses must comply with BS 7177 fire safety certification for insurance purposes. The foam and fabrics are treated to meet these requirements without compromising comfort. This certification is essential for boat insurance and marina compliance in the UK.

Memory foam is available for boat mattresses, though it's temperature-sensitive and may feel firmer in cold conditions. Reflex foam often works better in marine environments as it maintains consistent support regardless of temperature and handles moisture better than memory foam.

Lead times range from 7-14 working days depending on seasonal demand and current production capacity. Complex contoured shapes may take slightly longer as they require careful cutting and quality checks. Free UK delivery is included in the price.

Quality boat mattresses last 8-12 years with regular use, depending on the foam density and usage patterns. Marine environments can be challenging due to moisture and temperature changes. Higher density foams maintain their shape and support longer, making them worth the investment for frequent use.

Most manufacturers offer guarantees up to 10 years against defects in materials and workmanship. The guarantee typically covers premature sagging, foam breakdown, and manufacturing faults. Normal wear from regular use isn't covered, but quality mattresses should maintain their support throughout the guarantee period.
