Yep, but still it's difficult to sleep in a normal bunk without
additional padding.
My most comfortable sleeping has been done in a sleeping bag on a pipe
berth.


when you are tired, sleeping on the cabin sole against the leeward bench seat
in the salon is pretty damned fine. Restful sleep because you are not getting
thrown around enough to wake up.

My first strong gale at sea was like that. Trouble was the watch coming
below to navigate etc. dropped a lot of water on me. Still slept though.
Now I love a quarter berth -even more than the leeward settee. When I
was young I usually slept in a pipe cot forward but I'm not sure I'd
still like the express elevator followed by the shuddering crash as I
now own the boat!
