It appears that the sweat from our bodies and/or temperature difference
created moisture forms under our vee-berth cushions each night. Weird
because both of us stay dry and comfy on top of the cushions. We
have to tip them up and allow them to air dry each day. While this has
become just one more item in our normal routine, naturally I'm concerned
with any excess moisture creating mildew conditions. I'm wondering if
anyone has a suggestion/solution for this.

Absolutely. Ventairusa.com George Lane is a sailor and broker we met
when he had our first heart-attack serious boat (two surveys, but
eventually failed). He's remained a friend.

This stuff is like a 3-M scrubbie on steroids - two different
thicknesses for under seating or bedding and one for seat backs.

One side (to the bedding/seating) is a poly scrim material. The other
side is nearly crushproof, but weighs next to nothing, plastic wire
mesh. I have a piece under my laptop at the nav as I type, because its
entire reason for being is to allow air circulation.

Along the way, should you get water under the bed, it will keep your
bed off the base, allowing it to stay dry, and the water to evaporate.
Should you get water *through* your bed, it will allow it to pass, and
dry.

We have it under our very substantial berths fore and aft. Here in FL,
where I'm living aboard in the last stages of our refit, it's wringing
wet with humidity. Not the first damp spot.

PS did a review and followed up a year later; very happy with it.

So, you can go to all sorts of creative lengths to try to ameliorate
the situation - or spend the reasonable bux and buy the stuff :{))

My two cents...
