Re: {Beneteau Owners} Froli Sleep Systems

[Glen...@aol.com]

Hi Larry,

 

I have not tried the Froli system.  We did have custom mattresses made for our boat and after researching the various boat custom mattresses available, I went with a memory foam composite mattress custom made by Knoxfoam.com  - their "trilux" mattress.  It was cheaper than inner spring mattresses.  They did an excellent job of accurately reproducing my template- they fit perfectly.

 

I have not regretted it.  You do have to like the feel of a memory foam mattress- it is different than an inner- spring.  A little hotter, and firm at first until your body molds a spot.  But I awake with no pressure spots and sleep like a rock.  Their site has a discussion of their composite layered foam mattress versus Tempur-pedic. 

 

Part of the decision was hearing that one of the custom inner spring boat mattress makers recommends their own foam mattress over their inner spring.

Has anyone tried the Froli Sleep Systems (http://www.nickleatlantic.com/)?  I'd sure like to sleep more comfortably on the boat.

That looks great, Glen.  The 3-layer concept makes a lot of sense.

True, but it's still a lot of dough.  I just got through paying for a Lectra-San installation (three Boat Units) so I'm looking for the cheaper end of the bed solutions.

We sleep on a memory foam topper on our bed at home and love it.  My arms no longer go numb from shoulder pressure points like they used to.  (Old age doesn't help, I find.)

Thanks for the recommendation, Glen.
