Why Not Regular Mattresses?
My entire life I’ve assumed I needed to buy foam to create comfortable cushions for berths.

I’ve done this on all my boats and some RVs.

My girlfriend was challenging me on this and I didn’t have a single reason to support my belief that a standard mattress was a bad idea while foam was a good idea.

So, why do we use foam and not just a regular mattress??

I have a true queen size berth in each stateroom. Can I just buy a queen size mattress (without metal springs) and put it in?
