I have a tufted topper. I like it, but I do not like the fitted sheets they made for me. It may have partly been user error doing the traces, they are tight and prone to pop loose. What I have now: I bought a king size memory foam mattress. I put the V-berth cushions on top of it, traced them with a marker, and then cut the mattress to shape with an electric carving knife. Do NOT try and do this without an electric knife, you will butcher it if you do it by hand. The mattress came with a cover I managed to get off and reuse. I use the tufted topper on top of that and use king sized sheets. IMHO they work a lot better than fitted v-shaped sheets. I know it is hard to believe our tiny v-berths use king sheets, but they do. This is about 20x more comfortable than the original cushions and there is no seam in the middle. The only drawback so far was getting the mattress through the hatch and into the forward cabin was like fighting a giant octopus! * think twice about sleeping directly on memory foam. When it is 98 degrees F and 99.999% humidity, do you really want foam that forms around you?
