Foam Bed in a Box?

[fatherchronica]

I have had 3 back surgeries, and multible other bones sawn and am old and wracked with arthritis. On my boat I only have a 4" foam mattress topper over
4"s of foam cushions. It is okayish, but at home I have an expensive bed and a 12" foam mattress in a box in the guest room. I wake up feeling the same from either bed. I think it is a good idea you had. I would do the same on Mana, but we sleep in a vee berth without a lot of headroom and I think with my face rubbing the deck beams I would not feel so rested when I got up.

BTW, there is a modular spring style mattress support out there, It was mentioned in a thread a few months back. You can "build" to any shape you want.

I think a 4"+4" is a decent mattress for any liveaboard, for sleeping, resting, and fun too

There is latex, and then there is latex.
Not to be sarcastic, but people lie to sell you something. Latex is a natural, not synthetic rubber and it’s heavy, and expensive.
I’m only including this link to show that there is synthetic latex, which of course is a lie, it’s not latex. I know absolutely nothing about this company, I am not recommending them, just they explain latex pretty well.

Point being, if it’s not real latex as in rubber from a tree latex, well it ain’t latex

I've had good luck with foamorder.com
I bought "toppers" from the clearance section and cut them with an electric carving knife to fit my oddly shaped berth. I got a firm density 4" base block of latex for support and a 2" soft 19-20 IDL topper. It's pretty comfy.

Very true, ours is legit, unadulterated, stiffened tree ooze. (:

I'll bet the ads have Latex in large print and synthetic in the type which is microscopic.
