GL: Boat Mattress

[Jim Fidler]

I agree with Mac.  A foam mattress on a boat can be 
very comfortable.  Like any mattress, they do wear out 
and need to be replaced when time and use makes the 
foam too soft.  Our current boat has a very good 
innerspring mattress and we average 3 or 4 nights a 
week with complete comfort.  On the loop in 2004 
we had a new foam mattress and it was just as 
comfortable.  No problems.  Both mattresses are 
about 6 inches thick and sit on a plywood deck.

I think the ideal foam mattress might be to laminate 
3 inches of very firm foam and 3 inches of softer foam 
topped by 1 inch of "memory" foam. 

When our innerspring mattress wears out I will 
likely replace it with foam.
