Crew measures V-berth for custom mattress on sailboat
Hva denne videoen dekker
Steph and Travis replace the sagging dual-layer foam V-berth mattress aboard Jibsea with a custom Ship Shape Bedding Marine Plus Airflow mattress, documenting the full process from templating to three-month review.2:51 The original mattress — five inches of dense foam over two inches of softer foam — had compressed over roughly a year, causing both crew members to roll toward the center and wake with lower back pain, compounded by condensation pooling under the mattress despite ventilated matting sourced from Defender.1:16 The Ship Shape Bedding template kit includes sticky pads, a brochure describing each mattress type, and a built-in tape measure for measuring hull-contour slopes and angles at the V-berth walls.3:36 Travis uses an angle finder to record slope measurements at thirds across the berth.6:47 The chosen Marine Plus Airflow mattress features pocket springs, an orthopedic contoured foam core, built-in dry-mat airflow layers, and an active cool cover.11:00 Because the mattress is a sprung coil unit too rigid to fold through the companionway, they split it vertically down the center rather than horizontally as before.6:54 After three months of daily use, both report no back pain, no perceptible seam at the split, and significantly better sleep.11:46 A vertical center split extends mattress longevity by preventing a single sag point from forming.12:00
