Speaking of which, we had a tufted topper and fitted sheets on Corsair, 
our Redwing 35 (C&C 35-1) that is still in the basement.  It is 
available to anyone on the list (with a C&C 35-1) for the price of 
shipping (and maybe a small donation to Stu).  Please let me know.  I 
might be a little slow on response.  We are going up to the boat today 
for another coat of Epiphanes on the teak and try to get the rudder 
sensor installation completed for the autopilot.

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!

degrees F and 99.999% humidity, do you really want foam that forms 
around you?

I had a pillow top pad made for my V-berth by Tufted Topper 
www.tuftedtopper.com .  They did a great 
job.  They also make fitted sheets.
