GL: Boat Mattress

[Bob McLeran]

I've held off responding to this thread, thinking that surely we're not 
the only ones to use a Select Comfort, but now it appears that might be 
the case! :-{)

Anyway, if you're going to spend good money to buy a comfortable 
mattress, don't forget the Select Comfort. Basically a very heavy duty, 
adjustable, comfortable air mattress - with dual controls. Comes in 
standard bed sizes. They're aren't all that expensive if you just buy 
the mattress and not all the other stuff that Select Comfort sells to go 
along with the mattress.

 From winters in the Chesapeake to hot and muggy nights in the Keys, 
we've never had a problem with moisture. Carries a great warranty and 
the company is one of the most customer-friendly I've ever run across if 
you ever need to replace one of the air pockets - they help you 
trouble-shoot potential leaks, then send you the new air pocket and you 
don't need to return the old one!
