The less expensive alternative that does exactly the same thing, are 3' x 4' rubber mesh type (perforated) floor mats available from Costco. Cut them up to any size you want with a box cutter. I also use them on my engine room sole for sure grip in just about any seaway. Patrick WILLARD 40PH ,,^,, ALOHA Port San Luis

To this I reply: My preferred version of mattress pad comes from the local lumber yard. I buy wooden (cedar) lattice/trellis panels and cut them to fit under my mattress. Learned this from our local sailmaker (also a liveaboard) and passed it on to most of my dock neighbours. If it works here (Lake Ontario, Canada), it'll work anywhere!

Some people have suggested that the wood or plastic lattice available at lumber yards works well when cut to the shape of the berth. ___________________________________________________ Ross Fleming rossflem@serv.net S/V Renown Gulfstar 39 Seattle, Washington
