Boat mattress sizes vary depending on your vessel type and berth configuration. Common berth types include:

• V-berths: Tapered towards the bow
• Island berths: Rectangular cabin beds
• Quarter berths: Narrow side berths
• Saloon berths: Convertible seating areas

Most boat berths require custom sizes due to hull curves, tapered shapes, or unusual layouts. We recommend measuring your berth carefully, accounting for any obstructions, and either choosing from our 60+ ready-made shapes or using our custom quote tool to design a perfectly fitted mattress.

To measure for a custom boat mattress:

• Measure the width at the widest and narrowest points
• Measure the length along both sides for tapered berths
• Note any cuts needed for hull curves, bulkheads, or fixtures
• Sketch the shape including all curves and corners
• Measure the desired depth (typically 5-25cm)

Take photos from directly above if possible. Use our online quote tool to upload your sketch and measurements — we'll create a mattress that fits perfectly, even for complex V-berth shapes.

The ideal boat mattress depth depends on your available headroom and comfort preferences:

• 5-7.5cm: For quarter berths with limited space
• 10-15cm: Compact comfort
• 17.5-20cm: Standard comfort (most popular)
• 25cm: Luxury home-quality sleep

Consider your cabin headroom when sitting up, and any storage access beneath the berth. Most boat owners choose 15-20cm mattresses as the sweet spot between comfort and practicality.

Yes, we specialise in cutting mattresses to follow hull curves, bulkheads, chainplates, and any obstacles in your boat. Our custom cutting service handles:

• Tapered shapes: For V-berths and bow cabins
• Curved edges: To match hull contours
• Cutouts: For mast bases or through-hull fittings
• Notches: For access panels or lockers

Simply upload a sketch showing where cuts are needed, and we'll manufacture your mattress to fit perfectly. This is one of our most common requests for boat mattresses.
