I talked to Catalina Yachts and got a quote for a replacement. Not cheap. Decided to stick with the existing one.Has anyone replaced the original forward berth mattress on a 310? If you didn't buy the same kind, what did you replace it with?
Thanks

How did you deal with the shape issues?We replaced our with a Memory Foam Mattress (6")
I took measurements and sewed a set of sheets to fit, including a comforter . Worked great, very comfortable. I could probably find the measurements, if anyone’s interested.Since we are on mattress ideas, my wife asked about sheets and what to buy, any recommendations?
We took the old one to a local mattress factory and they used it as a template to make us a really nice replacement... Fox Matress in Holly Hill FL. We are very happy with our memory foam mattress in the house so we may go that route if we ever need to change the boat mattress again.Has anyone replaced the original forward berth mattress on a 310?

Just do some research on memory foam vs. latex foam. Down here in the Caribbean most avoid memory foam. It's heat activated and reflects much more heat.We took the old one to a local mattress factory and they used it as a template to make us a really nice replacement... Fox Matress in Holly Hill FL.

Good luck
Originally I was just using King Sheets from Target for both berths, but they were cheap and my wife and kids hated them and never wanted to sleep on the boat because of the poor quality. So I bit the bullet and ordered them from Catalina. They were quite expensive, but the family loves them. I think now you can get them for less from Catalina Direct. I'm not sure that was an option when I got mine 4 or so years ago.Curt Sawyer also has fitted sheets he may chime in!
