V-Berth Cushion Material Ideas?
I’m going to have some of my cabin reupholstered. Instead of going with back with vinyl for the v-berth cushion, anyone do something different as in using a different material? Or a custom made fitted sheet?
I don’t sleep on it often but when I do, I put a sheet over the cushion. If I don’t, I’m peeling myself off the vinyl the next day. Photos would be great. Thanks. |
i used a sunbrella type material but a little softer. bought a bunch extra in case of problems later.

Ultra Leather. That's the ticket.
Go to a local upholstery shop, and ask to see all of their marine material sample indexes. Most shops are pretty friendly. I had Ultra Leather in my AT, and loved it. Soft, easy to clean, and fairly durable as long as you don't do anything stupid. |
A few years ago when I was restoring a 1987 Mirage, I used automotive fabric for the berth cushions. My upholstery guy said they do have some UV and heat resistance as being made for an auto interior. It turned out nice.

I prefer anything easier (vynil) to clean... when (if) you get mildew, it must be a headache to clean in cloth...
but that's just me... |

Thanks all for the replies.
My local guy recently retired so I’m not sure what to expect with the next local guy. |
