Hi,

me and my wife bought a 28 year old dutch motoryacht for long term
cruising
in european rivers and channels.

Under the after deck we have a sleeping cabin of prox. 2m x 1.5m. Height
may
be obout 1.2m.
On a massive wooden ground there is a mattress made of foam, we want to
replace.

What would be the best material to built a comfortable and durable bed for
2
persons.

My choices would be:
a) another mattress made of foam, but is that really comfortable?
b) a mattress from the bed store, that fits into the cabin, but what
happens
with high humidity?
c) an air bed. They are offered for camping and home use and they are
promoted in Germany the last few years. benefit would be: no humidity will
be taken up, easy to imstall and to replace for cleaning. I`m thinking of
about 1 foot heigh air beds for using at home, not of a normal camping
airn
mattress.

It would be kind to participate from Your experiences and to hear Your
opinions.


regards from germany

From my point of view, without taking into account humidity and all other
weather considerations I'd aim for a store bought matress, but humidity will
kill it. So if the choice is between foam and air, i'd go with foam, air
beds are bloody uncomfortable after a week.

Just my opinion.
