V-Berth Options

V-Berths are custom beds made for an unique sleeping environment.

Handcraft Mattress Company has developed a range of custom solutions for this sleeping area drawn from many years of experience. We offer a perfect fit for any V-Berth configuration ranging from a 1-Piece to a 3-Piece design. Our patented, custom hinge-fold option eliminates the need for multi-piece mattresses, while offering easy access to storage and equipment area below mattress. And, thanks to their thick, quilted covers that eliminate seams and crevices, our V-Berth mattresses also provide unparalleled sleeping comfort. All our V-Berth mattresses conveniently fold for easy transportation and installation on your boat.

ONE-PIECE

1-Piece mattress is the least expensive to make, works best when there is no storage access needed. Also works well when the insert can be eliminated, allowing finger space on outside edge for installation and removal of bedding.

TWO-PIECE (A)

2-Piece mattress with seam down centerline makes getting into storage easy. More logical for extremely large V-Berths. Zipper option holds mattress together, allowing finger space on outside edges for installation and removal of bedding.

TWO-PIECE (B)

2-Piece mattress with no insert. Used more as two beds. Possible zipper option or hinge-fold option will hold beds together to allow finger space on outside edges for easy installation and removal of bedding. If there is no storage below, it may be better to do 1 large piece.

THREE-PIECE WITH INSERT

3-Piece is the original style V-Berth which had more focus on accessing storage than a good night’s sleep. Often times the insert cannot be eliminated because it is used for a dressing area. Possible zipper option or hinge-fold option on the two larger pieces will allow finger space on outside edges without pieces creeping apart.

ONE-PIECE WITH HINGE SIDE-TO-SIDE

1-Piece mattress with hinge side-to-side and no seams. Allows access to storage compartments underneath and finger space around edges for easy installation and removal of bedding.

TWO-PIECE: ONE BIG WITH HINGE SIDE-TO-SIDE & INSERT

2-Piece mattress 1 big piece with a hinge side-to-side and an insert (when your area requires an insert that can be removed for daily activity). The hinge allows storage access underneath and finger space around edges for easy installation and removal of bedding.

ONE-PIECE WITH HINGE HEAD TO TOE

1-Piece mattress with hinge-fold option head to toe, one of our more popular styles allowing no seams, with access to storage underneath and finger space around edges. Also works well with our straps and buckles option for easier installation and removal of bedding.
