Looking at getting a new mattress. Anyone have any recommendations on where to order one from and how to get a custom made?
 
I'm doing the exact same thing now. Found a place out in MI that will custom make them to your spec. I intend to send mine to them so they can use it as a template. My original "mattress" is just 3 " of firm foam. I will probably go with 5 inch foam and 1 or 2" of memory foam on top. This place will also provide zippered cases to fit... but I believe only for standard sizes. Probably will have to send the mattress to a custom shop else where to get the slip covers made... or, we might just use a washable sheet tucked in around it in the interim.

Am I permitted to post the link to this company?

aldi's here just had an 8 inch memory foam queen for $220 foam is easy to cut to shape even the V berth shape
 
Look up HMC, Handcrsft Mattress company.
They have a website, but don't want to put link here. Its like boatbeds dot u know.

Anway, best boat mattress hands down. You can't believe you ever slept on that foam crap!
 
Mine came with my boat.
HMC is pricey, but well worth it.
 
If you don't want to spend a lot on a custom mattress we had one of the 'Tufted Toppers' made a couple years ago that goes on top of the foam mattress that came with the boat and have been very happy with it. Reasonable price and it made a big difference in comfort.
 
We did a memory foam topper from Costco. 3 inch. wow what a difference this made.

I sleep better on the boat then at home.
 
We went to a local mattress company with a paper template, to include bevel angles. No problem at all. Not real cheap, but the best sleeping mattress I've got. Local seamstress made some custom fitted sheets for next to nothing. Mattress is 5" thick including a memory foam component. Pricing include vinyl on the bottom & a zippered case.
 
Memory foam retains lots of moisture-not sure of people's experience though, never had one onboard.
 
I had custom made "closed cell" foam mattress for 15 yrs. Never had a moisture problem all that time. Very very comfortable!
 
I have used Hand Crafted Mattress on my previous boat. It was the best decision I made. It was made with tallalay foam. We used it for 9 years. Never a problem. At that time they were approximately $850 a mattress. I had two made. My present mattress is HCM as well. Give them a call.
 
I also have the HCm mattress in the master berth. At home we sleep on a TemperPedic and we sleep well on the boat. What I like was that they came out and measured and I wasn't left to do it myself. About $900 for a queen master.
