We often get requests for new cushions for berths and beds in boats. Most customers who ask this question are primarily looking for better sleeping comfort. What is rarely considered is that a completely new cushion rarely solves the problem.
New cushions for better sleeping comfort?
No, this is usually not the answer. When you order brand new ordinary cushions covered with the same color and material as, for example, in the salon, it is usually quite hard and / or not adapted for sleeping on. It is certainly very nice to come down in a boat where all cushions are of the same material, but more often than not we experience that customers have a completely different expectation of new cushions than what is reasonable when it comes to comfort in the sleeping areas.
Want to sleep better? -Buy a bed mattress
On regular pillows, a mattress pad can make a huge difference. In particular, a memory foam mattress from Kapell & Annat. Just like at home, it adds a whole new layer that adapts to the contours of your body. This is also a much cheaper option than new cushions. We have templates for some boats, but sometimes we need the customer's help to make a template for the bed mattress. Fortunately, this is extremely easy.
But my cushions are old and look boring!
Then perhaps you should take the opportunity to switch to a Flexima spring matt ress combined with a bed mattress. This will be a further upgrade in comfort and there are lots of different choices to make when it comes to thickness and options such as integrated bedding, fitted sheets in different colors and so on. When making the mattress, the weight and height of the users are taken into account. Of course, sometimes the thickness is limited by the height of the cabin, but a good solution is likely to be found. The disadvantage of an elastic mattress is that it cannot be upholstered in the same material as in the saloon.
