There are a few companies offering to custom build a mattress, I havn't gone down the road of pricing yet, but as you hinted could be pricey.
Our boat is our home so we thought why skrimp on our bed, current bed is foam with a topper and we have been very comfortable but the foam is old now and should be replaced, hence the looking around to see what is on offer.
As previous threads have comented Slats, foam and topper are pretty hard to beat.

Interesting subject matter. A good few boats I have looked at are very spartan in their upholstery - a bit like caravans. Very thin cushions OK for weekending but not really comfortable enough to match the sofa or bed at home.
I've just pulled all the cushions off our (very comfy) settee at home, to see that they are made of foam (no springs). Beneath, however, is a lattice of material straps which give added "bottom absorption"
Can this be replicated on the boat I wonder? Or, alternatively, should we use a thicker, better quality of foam?

Hmmmmmmm. Just had another thought. Don't need the furniture when the house is sold, so can I cannibalise the household stuff to improve the comfiness of the boat. Eureka!

Where will the coffee table and the welsh dresser fit in, I wonder?

The coffee table will need to go in front of the setee, so you have something to bang your knee on (and say B****) when the ARPA alarm goes off and you run to see which precise Monrovian registered Bulk Carrier is about to sink you. (Thought that was obvious!)
Don't have a Welsh Dresser. Once had a Kiwi stripper though.
Couple of problems I see, is the fishtank, and getting the settee down the companionway. Oh yeah, and whether the pontoon will take the axle weight of the removals truck.
PS. Nice boat. Love the joystick control. First time I've seen that.

Good info, I never even suspected that such things were rated - thanks
