Crew Cabin Mattress Specification
Specify berth size and thickness, foam type and density, cover fabric, required fire test and cleaning method. Medium-firm foam with a washable cover is the usual starting point.
Key points
- Size and foam. State the berth size, thickness and foam grade.
- Cover and cleaning. Washable, durable covers with a protector keep cabins fresh through crew changes.
- Compliance. Add the fire test and documents required.
- Fields to specify. List cabin type, berth size, thickness, foam grade, cover fabric, required fire test, cleaning method, expected life and delivery port.
- Think about the whole crew cycle. Crew cabins are used in rotation, so mattresses see many people.

Think about the whole crew cycle
Crew cabins are used in rotation, so mattresses see many people. Durable foam, washable covers and clear cleaning rules keep cabins fresh between crews. Spare covers let you wash without leaving bunks bare.
Detailed guidance
Crew mattresses should be comfortable enough for rest, durable for rotation and compliant for fire. Specify berth size and thickness, foam type and density, cover fabric and colour, the fire test required and how the cover is cleaned. Choose medium-firm foam as a starting point and offer pillow options.
Consider the crew cycle: when crew change, mattresses should be cleaned and aired. Specify washable covers or protectors and hold spares. Agree the replacement interval with the operator and track condition by cabin. Standardise across the fleet where cabin sizes allow, so spares are interchangeable and crews find the same comfort across vessels.
Worked example (illustrative figures)
A fleet of 12 vessels, each with 24 berths, standardises on one mattress size and foam grade with a washable cover. Replacements across the fleet are interchangeable, spare stock is held centrally and cleaning rules are the same on every ship.
