Hi Folks,
I had custom sheets made for the v-berth based upon the attached dimensions.  I hope that is helpful for others.355 v-berth.jpg
However, I am hoping someone has the aft berth dimensions handy.   Please send along if you do.  We are trying to determine if a standard queen comforter would be sufficient for the aft berth.
Thanks,
Neil

Hi Neil! We don’t have the dimensions handy but the admiral says it is a standard queen size comforter. Enjoy!

My wife just put a queen on ours too, she says it is queen width, but lengthwise it’s longer. But that doesn’t really make a difference for the comforter

Thank you!  We have now bought a couple of queen size comforters.  Appreciate the prompt responses!

After many attempts at custom sheets, the admiral went to a king sized flat sheet held on with plastic clips which grab onto the welt on the mattress - she says that works best and the cost is the least.
Sorry, I cannot give you the dimensions of the aft mattress but we do not have it on the boat since the aft cabin is our garage.

;-)  Got it.  I did use the new full/queen on the aft berth on the weekend.  It is maybe 12" too wide but works fine.  If I come across a friend with a sewing machine, maybe I will get it modified. 

Thanks again,
Neil

I’ll try the queen on the aft berth. Maybe I can hire a bigger pixie.

Thanks for the information about bedding for our 355s.  I use a queen fitted sheet for the V berth and a stretchy cotton double fitted sheet for the aft berth. 
Now what I need is a pixie to install the double.

Hi, 
I’m an owner of a new 355, Avonmore, number 157.
Our dealer, Massey Yachts in Palmetto Florida, provided us with fitted sheets, forward and aft.
He told me that Catalina has the patterns for those sheets. They need to call the Catalina plant in Largo, 727-544-6681 and ask for Lucas in the parts department. Hope this helps.

Not sure if this is helpful for anyone, but we measured the V-Berth mattress on #94, and I have attached a schematic with the dimensions we came up with; very close to Neils! 

Thanks, 
Mike
