Small Double Boat Mattresses

Standard small double boat mattresses measure approximately 4ft wide, but length and shape vary significantly between boats. Most range from 6ft to 6ft 6in long. Custom cutting accommodates irregular shapes, angled corners, and cut-outs around fixtures. Measurements are taken from the actual berth space to ensure precise fitting around bulkheads, storage areas, and curved hull sections.

Thickness typically ranges from 4-8 inches depending on berth depth and headroom. Thinner mattresses work better in low-profile berths or where sitting headroom is limited. Standard 6-inch thickness provides good comfort whilst fitting most boat berths. The mattress should allow easy entry and exit without hitting overhead fixtures or cabin roofs.

Yes, memory foam is available for boat mattresses. However, consider that memory foam can retain moisture in damp marine environments. High-density reflex foam often performs better on boats as it's more breathable and resistant to humidity. Both materials can be manufactured to exact measurements with proper marine-grade fire certification.

Yes, boat mattresses require BS 7177 fire safety certification for insurance compliance. This applies to all foam types and ensures materials meet marine safety standards. The certification is included with custom-made boat mattresses and covers both the foam core and any fabric coverings used in construction.

Lead times typically range from 7-14 working days depending on seasonal demand and current production capacity. Custom cutting and fire certification add to manufacturing time compared to standard mattresses. Rush orders may be available during quieter periods. Free UK delivery is included, with arrangements made for marina or harbour delivery if needed.

Measure length, width, and note any irregular features like angled corners or cut-outs. Use a flexible tape measure to follow curves and record the positions of obstacles like bulkheads or storage boxes. Take measurements at mattress level, not at the berth base if there are sloping sides. Detailed templates help ensure accuracy for complex shapes.

Yes, guarantees up to 10 years are available depending on the foam type and construction. The guarantee covers manufacturing defects and premature sagging under normal use. Marine environments can be challenging, so proper ventilation and moisture control help maintain mattress condition and ensure guarantee validity throughout the coverage period.
