I though you guys might enjoy this bit of creative bunk solution!
Our prior boat was a 72 35 MK 1. We had a great deal of trouble
sleeping in the V berth but didn't want to sleep in separate
bunks. So, we created a way to turn the main salon into one king sized bunk.
Just a few 1/3" stainless bars, some holes, a fee sheets of 1/4"
plywood and some custom cushion inserts that stowed in the V berth
perfectly when not in use. Set up and break down took about 5 minutes...
The pictures are in the wrong order so start with the linked picture
and the use the back button to scroll through the setup sequence.

Joe,
I did the same thing with an mattress from Ikea. I cut it down
and actually resewed the cover to fit the new wedge shape so that
can be removed and cleaned. The loss of head space is definitely
worth the extra comfort.
Just a hint to help move it. Put it in a thick plastic bag and
suck the air out with a shop vac and then duck tape the opening
shut. This will compress it down to a small ball that will grow
fairly slowly back to size once in place and removed from the
bag. I do this each season.
