mattress topper

Hey BC Ruthi and I just finished cutting one to fit for Raven Dancer, 22' cruiser. We haven't used it yet but we are going up to Port Townsend right after Christmas for a week so I will let you know when we get back.

I have just re-mattressed in my house and now surplus a queen size memory foam topper that I bought from Costco.
I had intended way back to get one for my v-berth in any event. Was it difficult to cut? what did you cut it with? was it queen or king and how did you orient it? I don't plan on cutting out the portion that will lie over the removable cushions.
Have a good Christmas and an enjoyable trip to Port Townsend.

PS they are quite heavy, maybe the boat will trim better?

Merry Christmas from Dave and Helen
 
BC. Mine is holding out real well the last two years! They seem to not absorb a lot of moisture :?:
I went queen size, should have went king to get it to fit all the way across..... but then, you really don't sleep up against the wall anyway, so I guess a queen is about right! I trimmed-off the corners, and had to alter the cover it came in. but its sure nice and cozy in there! Seems to be a very durable foam. arrg! :shock:

B~C We bought the king and cut it with the electric turkey knife which worked great ! We didn't cut the notch out by the porta-potty space so it droops a little there but thats OK with me.
Later......Big Dave.
 
I think Bill and El on Halcyon have something like this... not sure. They would for sure know on how what ever they have does on extended trips and multiple climates... maybe they will soon come out of the parties in Las Vegas and respond to this.

We bought one of these from Costco and slept on it for two weeks straight in September. It was great! No more sore shoulders or hips. I cut it with a carpet knife and that worked fine, although an electric carving knife would probably work even better. A king size covered the 25 from side to side.

Merry Chrstmas Darlin.....Look what I bought you for my boat for Christmas and our 27th Wedding Anniversary..... You can't even use it in the kitchen or the yard!!! Well... I guess ya could ...but we have been married 27 years. :mrgreen:
 
Thanks for the input. Me thinks some time after Xmass & the SBS I'll spring for the King sized model, I left my mattress money at the USCG this morning .
 
Overstock.com has memory foam toppers.

They have a deluxe 2 inch memory foam topper at $80 any size and free shipping. They also have covers for the toppers.
 
Are you folks using these memory foam toppers instead of the factory cushions or on top of them?

I sleep on a Tempurpedic at home and like it except it does get harder in the winter when the room is cold and it is below freezing outside.

We've left the Vegas parties, and now in the Colorado galas ... anyway, we bought one of those backpacking "egg-carton" mattresses, put it atop the v-berth, cut it to fit, and it's great. The egg-carton shape avoids most of the moisture problem. Not one of those fancy memory foams, but it works fine.
 
Pete I use mine on top of the factory cushions, I need all the padding that I can get ! :xlol
We got ours at Costco for $119.00 it is 2 1/2" thick, it came with a zip on and off cover.

only if you cover it with aluminum foil :)

that Overstock price is a good deal, Santa and others have taken all my fun money for now though
