Makin’ waves and catchin’ rays up on the roof, Jumpin’ out the back, don’t act like you don’t want to Party in slow motion, out here in the open, (Lyrics from “On a Pontoon”). I’m not a boater but every time I go up north and see the water I think of that song and sometimes I catch myself saying, ‘Mmmmm…And of course since I am in the foam, comfort and mattress business, I also think about the boat mattresses and the sitting cushions that are in all kinds of different boats. When it comes to boat mattresses we have discovered there are two distinctly different ways of looking at them. Some people think, “Well it’s only a boat and I am only there for the weekend so give me something as cheap as possible.” Meanwhile others seem to think, “Well since I am going up north to relax, make me a nice mattress that will give me the best comfort and support possible. After all, I don’t want to come back from a long weekend with an aching back.
Now, how relaxing is that?” It’s a personal thing and with 45 different grades of foam, that can be cut to any shape or size, we can make you a boat mattress at number of different price points. As a foam and mattress manufacturer we can give you the best selection and quality at the lowest price. Foamite has over 25 years experience in custom cutting and designing the best V-Berth mattresses available in today’s marketplace. All you have to do is to bring in your old mattress or a pattern and we will walk you through the rest. 1. Preparing a Pattern Most custom shapes do not require a pattern, but if yours does constructing a pattern does not need to be intimidating or complicated. Using cardboard, fabric or newspaper, that is taped together, simply trace the outline of your boat and cut the pattern. Make your pattern the exact size you require. Please indicate on your pattern which sides should be used for zipper placement. Keep in mind that most mattress covers work best with a long 3-sided zipper.
Many V-Berth mattresses have angled sides that take the shape of the boat’s sloped walls. In order to get the angle right we need the old mattress as a sample or the mattress cover. It can be used as a pattern to cut the angles. If you have neither, then you will need to figure out the overall maximum width, at the desired thickness, of the new mattress. A boat mattress is often restricted to between 4” and 6” in thickness. In some cases it must serve dual purposes for sitting and sleeping. Therefore, the best performing mattress, that will provide you with both soft comfort and firm deep down support, is a layered mattress. You need a soft topper that is at least 2 or 3” thick. This will give you comfort by contouring to your body’s curves. The firm core supports your weight and maintains your spine in its natural alignment. How firm you go depends on your weight, preference and back condition. 6. Qik-Dri Base Layer Boat interiors are frequently moist.
This moisture gets trapped between your mattress and the boards below. To help avoid problems with mold or mildew you should add a 1” layer of our Qik-Dri Outdoor foam on the bottom of your mattress. It is very porous and it will help to dissipate heat and moisture much better than conventional foam. If you value your relaxation time and you want to a have comfortable night’s sleep, when you are away from home, then you should come in to see us so that we can make you a custom mattress with the right grades, the right layers and at the right factory direct price. Then you will be ready to go Motorboatin’ feeling and looking gooood! Rest Better to Live Better… Be the best that you can be by doing whatever is necessary to improve the quality of your rest time!
