Princess Yacht Mattresses

Princess yacht berths vary significantly between models and years. Each mattress is made to individual measurements rather than standard sizes. Common configurations include V-berth sections, aft cabin doubles, and single berths in guest cabins. Measurements are taken from templates or detailed dimensions provided by the boat owner to ensure precise fitting around curved hull sections and built-in furniture.

Create a paper template by laying newspaper or cardboard over the berth area and marking the exact outline. Include any cutouts for posts, curved edges, or angled corners. Alternatively, provide detailed measurements including length, width, and note any non-rectangular features. Photos showing the berth from multiple angles help confirm the shape and any access restrictions through hatches or doorways.

Most yacht berths accommodate mattresses between 4-6 inches thick. Measure the height from the berth base to any overhead fixtures, lockers, or the cabin ceiling when sitting up. Account for bedding thickness and comfortable headroom. Thicker mattresses provide better comfort but check access routes - some yacht companionways or berth openings restrict the size of mattress that can be maneuvered into position.

Memory foam is available but consider the marine environment. Traditional memory foam can retain moisture and become uncomfortable in humid conditions. High-density reflex foam or marine-grade memory foam with moisture-wicking covers work better on boats. Waterproof or water-resistant covers are recommended to protect against condensation and potential water ingress common in yacht environments.

Lead times typically range from 7-14 working days depending on current production capacity and seasonal demand. Summer months often see longer lead times due to increased boating activity. Complex shapes or special materials may require additional time. Free UK delivery is included. International delivery to marinas or yacht locations can be arranged with appropriate customs documentation for boats outside UK waters.

Guarantees up to 10 years are available depending on the foam type and construction selected. Marine environments are demanding so proper ventilation and waterproof covers extend mattress life significantly. The guarantee covers manufacturing defects and premature foam degradation under normal use. Damage from water ingress, mold, or excessive moisture exposure is not covered, emphasizing the importance of adequate berth ventilation.

All mattresses include BS 7177 fire safety certification required for marine insurance policies. This British Standard ensures materials meet strict fire resistance requirements for commercial and recreational vessels. Certification documents are provided with each mattress for insurance purposes. The certification covers both foam cores and fabric covers used in construction, meeting maritime safety regulations for passenger vessels and private yachts.
