Good sailing and boating to all!
I had my foam replaced with 75mm of firm foam, with 50mm of memory foam on top. The bunks are now very comfortable, and I have not noticed any more than a very slight extra heat reflection over what was there before. My boat is in Turkey, so it does get pretty hot anyway. The important issue is the quality of the memory foam, and the need to have good stuff underneath. The bunk bases are solid plywood and not therefore ventilated. In a cold country where condensation is an issue I think any foam mattress should be on a ventilated base.
