Boat Mattress Replacements

But before you get angry enough to actually throw your boat mattress in the nearest body of water, you should know that there are affordable replacement options that are dramatically more comfortable.

How Mattress Insider Can Help

What really sets us apart from other boat mattress suppliers is how much we can save you in shipping costs and setup time.

We’re one of the early pioneers in the bed-in-a-box category, investing in a state of the art roll-pack machine that compresses and rolls your mattress so that it can be shipped via FedEX ground

That makes us significantly lower in cost then our competitors, who have to ship your mattress flat on a truck.

Why You Should Work With Us

We can manufacture any size or shape. We can cut notches and radius corners, create folds and hinges, and create all the odd cushion pieces that are often necessary for V-berth mattresses.

  • Our Orthopedic factory-made boat mattresses are designed to relieve pressure points and support your body in its most natural positions while you sleep.

  • We carry a unique moisture barrier product — called Aire-flow — that prevents mold and mildew, and that we can package into the price of your mattress.

  • We manufacture all boat beds based on your custom requirements. Whether you own a basic boat that goes on the lake a couple of times a summer, something more full-time, or even a luxury vessel, we manufacture all boat and yacht mattresses to the highest quality standard, while offering you the best at a factory-direct price.

  • Is your mattress composed of seat cushions? We can use firm foam for the cushions, like we would use in a base layer of a mattress, or we can customize the feel so that it’s designed around your sleeping preferences.

  • We use high durability, high density foams that are made in the USA. Many OEM mattresses are made from cheap foam often containing toxic chemicals. These cheap materials also suffer from durability issues. Our won’t.

  • CertiPUR-US certified! With Mattress Insider, we work to be sure that your mattress will retain its original feel over a long period of time.

Our Custom Marine Bed Mattress Types

We use a large assortment of innovative foams and coil options, such as:

  • Natural Latex
  • Gel Memory Foam
  • Plant-Based High-Density Foam
  • Specialized custom foams and visco elastic memory foams for marine environments
  • Marine Innersprings and pocketed coil spring mattresses

Natural Latex Mattresses

Latex mattresses are made using latex foam. To be a true latex mattress, all layers of the mattress must be made of latex with no other types of foam or coils included in the mattress structure.

Gel Memory Foam Mattresses

Memory Foam mattresses provide great support and contour, adapting to the body’s shape so weight is distributed evenly among pressure points.

Innerspring Mattresses

Innerspring mattresses can reduce snoring because they offer good firmness and support.

They’re made with individually-wrapped coils (advanced coil technology) that works great to maintain healthy sleep posture and prevent back and neck pains. Encased coils move independently when the body moves, so they provide support where it’s needed.

Boat Mattress Firmness and Thickness

Many people assume that the thicker your boat bed is, the more comfortable it is. However, that isn’t really the case, as comfortability depends on the materials and the quality

Height restriction can play a huge role in what will work in your space. 

Overhead space can often limit a mattress’s height and depth to dimensions between 3″ and 8″ (7.62 and 20.32 cm) thick.

And different mattress heights can require different materials, based on your preferences! For example, if you only have 5 inches to work with but you need it to support someone who is heavier than 250lbs, you’ll still want a marine mattress that’s supportive and comfortable.

Once our experts know your dimensions, requirements, and the type of foundation the mattress will sit on, our experienced craftsmen will build your perfect boat mattress.

Boat Mattress Sizes and Shapes

We can create any size or shape boat mattress (King, Queen, Full, Twin, or even smaller) that you need. Our skilled team is adept at working with different bevels, joints, and irregular angles

Whether you need something that is rectangular, has cut-corners, or fits into a bunk space or other weird boat niche, we can help. 

We can also make sure your mattress fits into a Vee or V-Berth, whether it’s in the Forward cabin, Island Berth, Aft cabin, Crew, or Captain’s quarters.

What We Offer:

We provide solutions for custom sizes, shapes, and fastenings:

Measuring for a Custom Boat Mattress

Because mattresses can differ greatly from boat to boat, please measure everything. Obtain all dimensions with a tape measure and note them down!

  1. If you do have an existing mattress in the space, measure its length and width, as well as its height.
  2. Measure the dimensions of the foundation where the boat mattress will sit.
  3. Account for any odd shapes or notches that will need to be mirrored in the mattress, measuring these and recording them to the best of your ability.
  4. Note any height restrictions around the mattress (such as the bed is near the ceiling, there’s a low height limit, the headboard would be hidden by a mattress that was too thick, and so on).
  5. Double, triple, and even quadruple check your numbers!

Some further tips:

  • If you don’t have a current mattress in the space, determine your max lengths, widths, and heights on all sides of where the mattress will be. Then anything of note around the mattress (odd shapes or restrictions).
  • In mattresses with beveled edges, the measurements for the “base” and “top” can be different because the mattress may not be a rectangle shape.
  • For odd-shaped V berth mattress, we can rough estimate a quote over the phone, but detailed measurements, or boat schematics from your boat’s manufacturer can be extremely helpful!

FAQ

How tall should a boat mattress be?

This depends heavily on the available area for your mattress. Overhead space can mean the difference between a more “typical” mattress height of around 8″ inches and a thinner mattress height of 3″.
