Jonathan Wilson Narrowboat Mattresses

Any size can be manufactured to your exact measurements. Narrowboats typically require non-standard dimensions due to their unique hull shapes and interior layouts. Simply provide the length, width, and any corner cuts or curves needed. The most common thicknesses range from 4 to 8 inches, depending on headroom constraints and comfort preferences.

Measure the berth platform at its widest and longest points. Note any corner cuts, curves, or obstacles like hull intrusions. Create a paper template for complex shapes. Include the desired thickness, keeping in mind overhead clearance when sitting up. Detailed measuring guides are provided to ensure accuracy before manufacturing begins.

Multiple foam types are available including reflex foam, memory foam, and natural latex. All materials carry BS 7177 fire safety certification as required for marine insurance. The covers are removable and washable, important for the humid conditions often found in narrowboats. Breathable fabrics help prevent moisture buildup.

Typical lead times range from 7-14 working days depending on seasonal demand and current production capacity. Each mattress is individually manufactured to order. Free UK delivery is included. Complex shapes or multiple mattresses may require additional time. Delivery schedules are confirmed when the order is placed.

Guarantees up to 10 years are available depending on the foam type selected. This covers manufacturing defects and premature foam breakdown under normal use. The guarantee terms account for the unique conditions of boat living including temperature fluctuations and humidity levels that narrowboat mattresses typically experience.

Memory foam options are available in various densities and thicknesses. Memory foam works well in narrowboats as it contours to irregular sleeping positions often required in confined spaces. Temperature-sensitive properties mean the foam may feel firmer in cold conditions, which is worth considering for winter boating.

These mattresses are designed for regular use including continuous living aboard. The materials and construction account for the constant use patterns of liveaboard boaters. Proper ventilation underneath the mattress helps prevent moisture issues common in narrowboat environments where condensation can be problematic.
