Boat Shaped Motorhome Mattresses

Boat shaped mattresses have tapered or curved edges that narrow from head to foot, or feature angled sides. This design follows the motorhome's interior contours where curved walls or storage units create non-rectangular sleeping spaces. Standard mattresses can't accommodate these unique dimensions, leaving uncomfortable gaps or creating overhang issues.

Measure the widest points at head and foot, plus the overall length. Take measurements at multiple points along the length to capture the curve or taper. Note any corner radiuses or angled cuts. Creating a paper template by tracing the bed base outline provides the most accurate measurement for complex boat shapes.

Thickness typically ranges from 10cm to 20cm, depending on the available headroom and storage height when the bed converts. Thinner mattresses work better in pop-top or convertible bed arrangements, whilst fixed beds can accommodate thicker options. The boat shape doesn't affect thickness choices - it's purely about the available vertical space.

Yes, all motorhome mattresses must comply with BS 7177 fire safety standards for insurance purposes. This certification applies regardless of the mattress shape. The foam and cover materials are treated to meet these requirements, ensuring the boat shaped mattress is suitable for motorhome use and won't affect insurance coverage.

Lead times range from 7-14 working days depending on seasonal demand and current production capacity. Boat shaped mattresses require individual cutting from templates, so they're made to order rather than held in stock. Delivery is typically free across the UK, with the mattress vacuum-packed for easier handling through motorhome doors.

Yes, boat shaped mattresses are available in memory foam, pocket spring, reflex foam, and hybrid constructions. The unusual shape doesn't limit material choices. Memory foam provides good pressure relief but can feel warm in confined motorhome spaces. Reflex foam offers better breathability whilst pocket springs provide traditional support with good airflow.

Guarantees typically range from 5-10 years depending on the mattress construction and materials used. Memory foam and pocket spring versions usually carry longer guarantees than basic reflex foam options. The guarantee covers manufacturing defects and premature sagging, but normal wear from regular use isn't included in the coverage terms.
