Narrowboat Lengthways Bed Mattresses

Custom shapes include tapered ends, rounded corners, and curved edges that follow hull contours. Measurements are taken for length, width at head and foot ends, and any corner radii. Complex shapes like kidney or boat-shaped beds can be accommodated. Templates or detailed drawings help ensure accurate cutting for unusual configurations.

Thickness typically ranges from 4-8 inches depending on headroom and bed base height. Thinner mattresses work better in low-ceiling cabins, while thicker options provide more comfort if space allows. Consider the height when sitting on the bed edge and ensure adequate clearance above when lying down.

Yes, memory foam, pocket springs, reflex foam, and latex options are all available. Memory foam works well in narrowboats as it contours to irregular shapes and provides good support. Pocket springs offer traditional comfort but may be less suitable for very curved or tapered designs.

All mattresses comply with BS 7177 fire safety certification, which is required for boat insurance. The materials are tested to CRIB 5 standards for commercial use. Certification documents are provided with each mattress for insurance purposes and peace of mind.

Lead times typically range from 7-14 working days depending on seasonal demand and current production capacity. Complex shapes may require additional time for template creation. Free UK delivery is included, with the mattress vacuum-packed for easier handling through narrow boat doorways and corridors.

Measure length, maximum width, minimum width if tapered, and any corner curves using a flexible tape measure. Note any obstacles like hull curves or furniture that affect the mattress shape. Photos of the bed space and existing mattress help ensure accuracy for complex configurations.

Guarantees range from 1-10 years depending on the mattress type and materials chosen. Memory foam and pocket spring options typically carry longer guarantees. The guarantee covers manufacturing defects and premature sagging, providing peace of mind for the investment in custom comfort.
