Has anyone bought a less expensive memory foam Tempurpedic mattress for your
boat? If so, was it a good deal or did you wish you and sprung for the real
thing?
Two answers to this:
-
I bough some generic two-inch memory foam at a foam store here in Toronto.
I use it on my home mattress and it's excellent. I just put it under a
regular quilted mattress cover.
-
On my boat I have an irregular bed shape (like most of us do). When I
bought the boat it had a latex foam mattress, which I have also been very
happy with.
The store where I bought the memory foam made custom foam mattresses, out of
both memory foam and latex. The prices were waaayyyy less than the cost of a
brand-name "Tempurpedic" mattress. Their website is at
http://www.eversoft.ca/ (no connection, just a satisfied customer, etc.). By
the way these guys actually manufacture some of the foam, and I got a tour of
the whole operation. It's pretty cool. They had a bandsaw with 6-foot
diameter wheels and a very thin blade that looked like a serrated bread
knife. I saw them sliced up a block of foam that was about 5 X 5 X 10 feet
into sheets that were about an inch thick.
