Liverpool Boats Mattresses

Any size can be manufactured to exact measurements. Boat berths vary significantly, from narrow single berths measuring 600mm wide to large double island berths over 1500mm wide. V-berths often require tapered shapes, whilst saloon berths may need curved edges. Measurements are taken from the actual berth space, including any irregular angles or cutouts around fixtures. Standard thickness options range from 75mm to 150mm depending on headroom constraints.

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 increased boat preparation activity. Rush orders may be accommodated for urgent requirements. Free UK delivery is included, with mattresses packaged in protective covers. Delivery to marinas or boat yards can be arranged, though access restrictions may apply at some locations.

Yes, all boat mattresses carry BS 7177 fire safety certification as required by marine insurance policies. The materials resist moisture and mould growth, important factors in marine environments. Foam cores are CertiPUR certified and covers use marine-grade fabrics that withstand humidity and salt air. This certification ensures compliance with MCA regulations for commercial vessels and satisfies insurance requirements for private boats.

Memory foam, reflex foam, and pocket sprung options are available. Memory foam provides pressure relief but may retain heat in confined spaces. Reflex foam offers good support with better ventilation properties. Pocket sprung mattresses provide traditional support but add weight. The choice depends on personal preference, berth size, and weight restrictions. Combination mattresses using multiple foam layers can balance comfort and support requirements.

Yes, removable zippered covers are recommended for boat mattresses. Marine environments create condensation and potential spills, making washable covers essential. Covers are available in various marine-grade fabrics including water-resistant options. Some covers feature anti-microbial treatments to prevent mould growth. Replacement covers can be ordered separately, extending the mattress lifespan. Zipped covers also allow foam replacement if required without replacing the entire mattress.

Guarantees up to 10 years are available depending on the foam type and construction method selected. Memory foam typically carries longer guarantees than standard reflex foam. The guarantee covers manufacturing defects and premature foam degradation under normal use. Marine environments can be challenging, so proper ventilation and regular airing help maintain guarantee validity. Guarantee terms exclude damage from flooding, excessive moisture, or improper storage during winter layup periods.

Measure the berth at mattress level, not at the base which may be narrower. Take length, width, and note any angles or curves. V-berths require measurements at the widest point and the foot end. Mark any cutouts for fixtures, steps, or hull intrusions. A simple paper template helps with complex shapes. Include preferred thickness, considering headroom when sitting up. Clear photographs from multiple angles assist with unusual configurations.
