Which one did you get?

Apologies for the long delay - new computer, plus being away from newsgroup
access...

We got ours custom made by a company literally one block up the street from
Hotwire Enterprises, supplier for our electrical refit. In Tarpon Springs,
FL, foamproducts.net, and they have a "forum" which is more like their
version of email.

We went with a very firm 5" base, and the high-density visco-elastic for the
3" top, custom laminated and cut, in order to exactly emulate the
Tempur-Pedic mattress (which also has the same sorf of covers as we've
ordered, but with their logo on it/them). Very large (queen athwart, plus
two singles in-line) aft cabin, plus 7Wx7L Vee, custom cut based on my paper
patterns and many intermediate angle references, was right at a boat unit.
We'll spend about that much in the custom covers (8 pieces - about 20 56"
yards - all told) of terry velour, with vent mesh bottoms. We picked it up,
but free shipping is included, as is a free pillow with each bed ordered.

We're doing a belt-and-suspenders approach to mildew/mold/moisture
prevention as well, using VentAir bases. It's a huge treat to sleep on this
mattress system - and cheaper versions of the same thing are available from
them, plus your boat may not have anything approaching the huge area we
have, so your cost may be very different from ours. Once the aft and Vee
cabin is actually finished, I'll put up pix of the mattresses as they
arrived and as covered, which is being sewn now.

Hope this was useful info, despite its late arrival...

Skip and Lydia, refitting as fast as I can
