any suggestions on what type of mattress, and where I can buy it, for a v-berth?
 
I agree with the memory foam. I have the V-berth, the midship berth and my home mattresses in memory foam! I sleep like a baby. Get the thickest foam available for more comfort. Am electric bread cutting knife works great!
 
The key with memory foam is to buy the high density foam. I recommend 5lb density, that seems to provide the most support and comfort. We just bought a new Tempur-Pedic bed for our house, $3,200 but worth every penny. The Tempur-pedic pillows are great, too. We bought two with the bed, and just bought another 2 for the boat. $150 each but oh so comfortable!
 
Target just had those pillows on sale for 40 bucks.
 
Radioguy,
You the man! After we got a Tempur-Pedic for the home it was evident that we had to have one for the boat so we went for it and sleeping on the boat now is glorious.

I can assure you they were not the same. We thought they were too, until we bought the cheapies. Not even close. I have yet to find a mattress or pillow manufacturer that can match the comfort and quality of the Tempur-Pedic. I'm sure they're out there somewhere, I just haven't found one.
 
I just realized this thread was re-surfacing after 9 months. I'm sure the original poster Emmie has already solved his or her berth issue.

Well it was good to read nonetheless. We're shopping for bedding tomorrow....our first V-berth experience.
 
Allow me to re-recommend the memory foam. Good luck shopping! :-)
 
Should I bring the boat mattress to the shop or just draw a template?
 
Sometimes old threads help new RO's rather than starting a new thread. I have found that a lot of RO's jump all over the old threads...example "Mandatory Licenses". That thread is still red hot.
You can bring the old mattress but if you can make a template it is easier. The only problem with a template is if you make a mistake so will the shop.
 
I was going to try the memory foam bed for the house.. buy my brother who bought one and had it picked up in a week, said that the foam made him sweat all night?
