Norton Canes Narrowboat Mattresses

Any size can be manufactured to match exact boat dimensions. Common narrowboat widths range from 6'0" to 6'6", but mattresses can be made for island beds, V-berths, dinette conversions, and irregular shapes. Simply provide accurate measurements including any angles or curves, and the mattress will be cut precisely to fit the space.

Thickness typically ranges from 4" to 8" depending on headroom and storage requirements beneath the bed. Thinner mattresses work well for occasional use or where ceiling height is limited. Thicker options provide better comfort for regular sleeping. Consider the bed base type and any storage access needed when choosing thickness.

Yes, several foam types are available including memory foam, reflex foam, and hybrid constructions. Memory foam provides excellent pressure relief but can retain heat in confined boat spaces. Reflex foam offers good support with better breathability. The choice depends on personal comfort preferences and boat ventilation.

Lead times typically range from 7-14 working days depending on seasonal demand and current production capacity. Custom shapes or specialist foam types may require additional time. Free UK delivery is included, with arrangements made to suit boat locations including marina deliveries or nearby addresses if mooring access is difficult.

Yes, all mattresses are manufactured using BS 7177 certified materials as required for boat insurance compliance. This fire safety certification is mandatory for narrowboat mattresses and ensures materials meet strict flammability standards. Certification details are provided with each mattress for insurance documentation purposes.

Removable, washable covers are available and highly recommended for boat use. The marine environment can create humidity and condensation issues, making washable covers practical for hygiene and longevity. Covers typically zip off completely for machine washing, with spare covers available for continuous use during cleaning.

Guarantees up to 10 years are available depending on the foam type and construction chosen. This covers manufacturing defects and premature foam breakdown under normal use. The guarantee remains valid for boat use provided the mattress is used on an appropriate base with adequate ventilation and support.
