Narrowboat Solutions Mattresses

Any size can be manufactured to your exact measurements. Common narrowboat bed sizes include 6ft x 4ft, 6ft 3in x 3ft 6in, and 6ft x 3ft 9in, but irregular shapes and custom dimensions are standard. Simply provide the length, width, and preferred thickness when ordering. Measurements should be taken of the actual bed base rather than any existing mattress.

Thickness typically ranges from 4 inches to 8 inches depending on ceiling height and personal preference. Most boat owners choose 6 inches as this provides good comfort without taking up excessive headroom. Consider the height of your boat's interior and any storage underneath the bed when selecting thickness.

Options include reflex foam, memory foam, pocket springs, and hybrid constructions. All materials meet BS 7177 fire safety standards required for boat insurance. Memory foam provides pressure relief whilst reflex foam offers firmer support. Pocket spring options are available for those preferring traditional feel with good ventilation properties.

Lead times typically 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, with the mattress arriving vacuum-packed for easier manoeuvring through narrow boat doorways and corridors.

Yes, guarantees up to 10 years are available depending on the specific construction chosen. The guarantee covers manufacturing defects and premature sagging. Pocket spring mattresses typically carry longer guarantees than foam-only constructions. All mattresses include a 30-day comfort satisfaction period.

Yes, any shape can be cut including rounded corners, cutouts for fixtures, and tapered designs. Many narrowboat beds have unique shapes to maximise space usage. Provide a paper template or detailed measurements including any curves or cutouts needed. Complex shapes may add 2-3 days to production time.

Measure the bed base directly, not any existing mattress. Use a tape measure for length and width at the widest points. For irregular shapes, create a paper template by tracing around the bed base. Note any obstacles like wall fixtures that require cutouts or rounded corners.
