[C320-list] DIY Custom Marine Mattress

[jackbrennan]

Hi Kevin:
Looks comfortable! Nice job. 
My wife just finished a similar project for the v berth and aft cabin. We hired a local seamstress to make zippered covers for all the pieces.
The total cost was under $700. A nice improvement over the inexpensive foam that came with the boat.

It's not a perfect solution but it was cheap (relatively-speaking, $237)
and it is *very* comfy.

I got a queen memory foam mattress on Amazon (a hybrid, actually – only the
top third of the mattress is memory foam, which is what I wanted). I bought
a cheap ($16) electric knife to cut it up.
