Dufour Boat Mattresses

Every Dufour Boat Mattress is made to your exact measurements rather than standard sizes. Dufour cabins vary significantly between models and years, with many featuring curved edges and angled corners. Simply measure your existing berth or cabin space, including any cutouts for hull curves or fixtures, and the mattress will be cut precisely to fit your specific requirements.

Thickness depends on your cabin's headroom and personal comfort preferences. Most Dufour owners choose between 4-6 inches thick. Consider the height from your mattress to the cabin ceiling when sitting up in bed. Thicker mattresses provide more comfort but reduce headroom, whilst thinner options maximise space but may feel firmer.

Yes, memory foam is available and popular for boat mattresses due to its pressure-relieving properties and ability to conform to irregular shapes. Memory foam also performs well in varying temperatures and humidity levels common on boats. Alternative options include reflex foam, natural latex, and pocket sprung constructions, each offering different comfort levels and breathability characteristics.

Lead times typically range from 7-14 working days depending on seasonal demand and current production capacity. Each mattress is individually manufactured after your order, which requires this production time. Free UK delivery is included, with the mattress vacuum-packed for easier handling through boat hatches and companionways. Delivery dates are confirmed when you place your order.

Yes, guarantees up to 10 years are available depending on the foam type and construction chosen. All mattresses meet BS 7177 fire safety certification required for marine insurance compliance. The guarantee covers manufacturing defects and premature foam degradation under normal use. Guarantee terms vary by material type, with memory foam and latex typically offering longer coverage periods.

Measure the berth area where the mattress will sit, noting any irregular shapes, curved edges, or cutouts for fixtures. Take measurements at the widest and longest points, then note any areas that need to be cut away. Many Dufour cabins have angled corners or hull curves that affect the mattress shape, so marking these on a paper template helps ensure accuracy.

Yes, they're designed for both occasional and full-time use aboard your yacht. The materials resist moisture and salt air whilst maintaining comfort over extended periods. Many owners use their Dufour yachts for extended cruising or live-aboard situations, so the mattresses are built to withstand regular use whilst remaining comfortable and supportive throughout their lifespan.
