A unique Universal V Berth fitted sheet design from Sailboat Interiors to ensure a perfect fit on boat cushions every time! https://www.sailboat-interiors.com/
Making your cockpit more comfortable with these lifeline covers. The outside is made of surlast and UV resistant thread and we can make it in any length and color http://bit.ly/2pP2Xoo
Okay, your boat might not be very narrow, but chances are your walkways are. That’s why we designed the Narrow Boat Runner Rugs – more narrow than traditional runner rugs for boat owners.
Working with Colonial Mills, we now offer boat interior rugs that are 14” narrow or 18″ narrow for boats that are less than 30 feet in length – where the typical walkway width is only 19″ inches.
Our 22″ inch narrow runner rug will fit the narrow saloon walkways of boats under 40 feet where typical walkway width is only 23″ inches. These boats will not accommodate a normal runner rug size which is 2 feet.
But enough about sizes. Our narrow rugs are styled and crafted to help you make your boat more charming and livable.
Made in the USA, our polypropylene rugs have a soft wool-like texture and look. Their strong fibers, which are quick to dry, are colorfast, abrasion resistant, mildew resistant, and strain resistant – but not boat owner resistant!
Why not combine one of our 2’ x 3’ area rugs with a narrow runner rug for a coordinated decor that will spruce up your entire boat interior.

Accent Pillows and Table Linens
When it comes to Accent Pillows and Table Linens, what’s important? Is it the quality of the fabric or the color and pattern choices? Yes, I agree. Both!
So for accent pillow covers and tabletops, we offer you options that run the gamut from stripes to patterns, indoor cottons and fleece, to twill, linens, and indoor/outdoor polyester.
We also now offer styles crafted in Sunbrella fabric. Sunbrella is a special acrylic in which the color pigments are blended into the fabrics threads, not printed after it’s made. This means they don’t fade and hold up to washes and sun exposure. Sunbrella is also durable and can withstand heavy use. So it’s perfect for your boat
Our basic and flange accent pillow covers make it easy to change when the mood suits you, or when they need washing. If pillows become damp, the cover can be removed for quick drying.
Most fabric, color, and styles choice for accent pillows are also available for table runners, tablecloths, table squares, and placemats.
Designed for your boat tables are our extra small tablecloth squares and rectangles are a perfect size for small boat tables that are too small for traditional sized tablecloths. And many of our tablecloths are ideally sized for galley counters, side wall shelves, and cockpit tables.
While typical table runners are 72″ and 92″ in length, and are therefore too long for small boat tables, our Extra Small Rectangular Tablecloth – measuring 14″ x 60″, can be the perfect fit for your boat.
All of these items are made to order and handcrafted in Maine.

INTRODUCING OUR CINCHFIT SHEETS
Sailboat Interiors started in 2014 as a boat bedding company with good reason. I couldn’t find affordable sheets to comfortably fit the V Berth mattress in my 36-foot sailboat. More importantly, it seemed to me that my fellow boat-owners would appreciate an innovative sheet design as much as I. Therefore, the idea was born and the hard work started – Making of the CinchFit Sheets.
As a result, I created a sheet that fits several mattress and cushion sizes. Add a cord lock to the design and you are ensured your sheets will stay on. Problem solved!
CinchFit Sheets are one size larger than the mattress to be used on. Customers can enjoy the comfortable and carefully designed sheets with braided and cord elastic, the CinchFit sheet then cinches around the mattress, for a perfect fit.
Our most popular home sheet sizes include Split King and Split Flex King. These sheet sizes fit adjustable mattresses. Both my fellow boat-owners, and homeowners nationwide love this solution. Check out the product reviews and you’ll see why.
Lastly, CinchFit sheets are offered in several colors and in cotton or flannel, each custom sheet set contains a fitted sheet, top sheet, and two queen pillow cases. The Universal fitted V Berth sheets fit sailboats from 27′ to 40′ and their larger Universal XL V Berth sheet sets fit even the largest power boat V Berths.

How To Make A V Berth Memory Foam Topper - A DIY Project
The readers have spoken! You guys are loving our recent posts with various DIY projects, and this week’s project is sure to be a popular one – we’re talking v berth memory foam toppers.
Yes, memory foam toppers are quite the rage on sailboats. Just do a search on any sailboat forum and you’ll find threads about how a memory foam topper atop your normal v berth cushions will feel like a night at the Ritz.
That’s why we’re going to tell you how to make your own, because just as we mentioned in our Getting a Good Nights Sleep on a Boat blog post, products and projects that ensure you get a good night sleep on your boat are well worth the money spent.
MAKING A MEMORY FOAM TOPPER FOR YOUR V BERTH
Here are two DIY examples of V Berths, based on a Catalina 30 V Berth and a Catalina 36 V Berth.
You’ll want to take a look at our “How To Measure Your V Berth” post first to orientate yourself with the key measurements we will be using for this boat DIY project.
THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND
If your V Berth is less than 79″ at the Head (as with our Catalina 30 example), this project is very straightforward and easy.
If your V Berth is wider than 79″ at the Head (as with our Catalina 36 example) you will need to cut additional pieces of foam from those cut away from the foot end to add and glue to the head end.
This guide is also useful for smaller, rectangular-shaped berths, any odd-shaped berth, or cushions that you would like to upgrade in order to fit a memory foam topper on.
(Note:For odd shaped berths, please be careful when measuring, and take time to lay out your measurements and plan in a diagram first.)
WORKING WITH MEMORY FOAM
Memory foam can be a challenge to work with due to its large size once it’s out of the shrink wrap. This requires a larger work area, so make sure you have plenty of space (inside your boat may not be the best or easiest place to work with it).
It can also be tricky to cut perfectly – however, even if your end product is not exactly perfect, once it’s covered with a beautiful sheet set and you get to sleep on it, both you and your back will be glad you did it, and you’ll forget all about any imperfect cuts.
For angled cuts like those on V Berths, we recommend keeping the foam depth to under 3″ to easily cut the foam. For a rectangular berth, you can just use an electric carving knife or foam cutter to make straight cuts to the memory foam.
We suggest this 2.5″ Memory Foam Topper, available on our website. We chose this product as it is Made in the USA with quality craftsmanship and has the ideal width and depth for DIY Memory Foam Projects for odd shapes, including V Berths.
You may also want to review The Boat Galley’s blog post “Sleeping Well Means Better Cruising” for other memory foam recommendations.
MATERIALS NEEDED
Memory Foam
Tape Measure
Large Flat Work Area (Garage, Outdoor Pavement Area)
Tarp – to provide a clean surface. A large work bench or work table is the best option.)
Plywood or Thin Board – To protect area under the foam when cutting
Pen/Marker – To mark key measurements
2″ – 4″ Thick Board or 98″ Professional Cutting Guide with 2 C Clamps (See below for where to purchase) – To guide cutting and compress the foam.
Utility Knife or 60mm Rotary Cutter – To cut the foam
Work Gloves
3MM Adhesive (Optional) – Only needed if Head Width exceeds 79″ or for some odd-shaped projects
EXAMPLE 1: 1980 CATALINA 30
Measurements: 79″ Head, 75″ Total Length, 12″ Foot Width
(Head measurement smaller than 79″)
A V Berth of this size will only require the memory foam to be cut in two locations.
As shared in our How to Measure Your V Berth post, the important measurements will be the Head Width (HW), Foot Width (FW), and the Total Length of the V Berth.
The two key measurements to choosing memory foam is the Head Width (83.5″) and Total Length (71″). For this project we can use the King Memory Foam product by ExceptionalSheets which measures 75.5″ Wide x 79.5″ Long.
Using the 79.5 Long side as the Head of our V Berth we then only need to cut the memory foam on each side to make the proper V-shape for our mattress topper.
Step 1: Spread your tarp on a flat surface and lay out the memory foam.
Step 2: Measure several times to be sure which end will provide enough width for your top (Head side) and which end will provide enough length to be your Total Length.
Step 3: Mark the center of the Foam at both the top (Head side) and at the center of the bottom (Foot side).
Step 4: Next divide your Foot Width (FW) by 2. In this example, divide 12″ (FW) by two to get 6″.
Step 5: Now, starting at your Foot side center mark, measure out 6″ on each side and mark the foam.
Step 6: Using a board or professional cutting guide, connect the top right (Head side) edge of the memory foam with the bottom right Foot measurement. Either mark where you will need to cut or proceed to cutting the memory foam.
Step 7: To cut, lay a piece of plywood or flat board under the memory foam where the cut will be made to protect the flat surface area from becoming cut into. Press the board or cutting guide down on top of the memory foam to reduce the thickness of the foam that will need to be cut. If you have the work area to use C-Clamps to do this that would be helpful. If not, you may need to ask a second person to help you and have them kneel on the board to keep pressure on the foam while you cut the foam. A 60mm rotary cutter is the preferred tool to make a continuous clean cut on the foam but a utility knife can be used as well.
Step 8: Connect the top left (Head side) edge of the memory foam with the bottom left edge of the Foot measurement. Repeat steps to cut the foam.
EXAMPLE 2: 1995 CATALINA 36 MARK II
Measurements: 81″ Head, 82″ Total Length, 17″ Foot Width
(Head measurement larger than 79″)
In this example the Head Width is greater than 79″. We will still only need one piece of memory foam. We will choose the CAL King Memory foam size by ExceptionalSheets that is 71.5 Wide x 83.5 Long. We will position the 71.5″ side as Head side and use the 83.5″ side to have our total length needed. The 71.5″ is well short of what we will need but we will be adding and gluing additional foam pieces to the right and left sides of the Head. An inch and a half could be trimmed from the total length but is not necessary where it will only amount to 3/4″ extra on each end of the foam.
Step 1: Mark the center of the Foam at both the top (Head side) and at the center of the bottom (Foot side).
Step 2: Next divide your Foot Width (FW) by 2.
Step 3: Now, starting at your Foot side center mark, measure out 6″ on each side and mark the foam.
Step 4: Use your board or professional measuring guide to determine where the Head width will need to measure to. This will be beyond where the foam ends. Place the board where you believe it needs to go. Our total Head Width (HW) is 81″. This number divided in two is 40.5″. Using a tape measure, measure from the center of the Head side out 40.5″. The length of the memory foam on the Head side is 71.5″ and our Head Width is 81″ or 9.5 inches short. We will need an additional piece added to each end of the head that is 4.75″ in length.
Step 5: Cut the memory foam. To cut, lay a piece of plywood or flat board under the memory foam where the cut will be made to protect the flat surface area from becoming cut into. Press the board or cutting guide down on top of the memory foam to reduce the thickness of the foam that will need to be cut. If you have the work area to use C-Clamps to do this that would be helpful. If not, you may need to ask a second person to help you and have them kneel on the board to keep pressure on the foam while you cut the foam. A 60mm rotary cutter is the preferred tool to make a continuous clean cut on the foam but a utility knife can be used as well.
Step 6: Using the excess memory foam that was cut away, measure and cut to additional foam pieces that are 4.75″ in length. Tape them in place temporarily where the additional memory foam pieces are needed on the Head side. Using the board or professional cutting guide again, cut the additional foam so it matches with shape and angles of the V Berth needed.
Step 7: In a very well ventilated area, away from anything even remotely flammable, use the 3mm adhesive spray to adhere the two additional pieces to the memory foam. The memory foam will not be seen once a coverlet or sheet is on it so be generous with the adhesive so it fully covers both where the foam joins together on the inside surface and on the exterior creases. Do not move the memory foam for three days to let it dry and adhere as fully as possible. Check how well the extra pieces have adhered and add additional spray if not fully satisfied.

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR SHEETS
We spend roughly a third of our lives in bed, so having the right bedding will contribute to the quality of your sleep. The better you sleep, the better you’ll feel for the entire following day. An investment in upgrading your bedding is worthwhile and recommended.
Good bedding is an investment – not only in your comfort, but in your health, but as with any investment, you want your bedding to last as long as possible.
We’ve gotten several emails (and orders – thank you!) from people who wanted to know how to properly care for their new CinchFit® sheets..
Knowing the best way to wash, dry, and store your sheets will go a long way towards extending the life of your sheets. It will also help you maximize your investment as well as your comfort. We’ve got some tips on how to keep your sheets looking and feeling new, as well as some storage ideas for you!
WASHING YOUR SHEETS
How often you wash your sheets is a personal preference. We recommend that you don’t wash them too often, as the more you wash them, the more likely it is that the fibers can eventually break down. Washing once a week is a good rule.
Wash your sheets in their own load when possible, using a mild detergent in cool water on the delicate cycle. Washing your sheets in hot water is not recommended because the heat weakens the fibers.
Our sheets have an elastic cord to use for adjusting, but you don’t need to worry about it getting caught in the agitator. Before you wash them, be sure all cord elastic is tucked in to our handy cord storage pocket.
The cord storage pocket is always in a contrasting color on the side of your sheet. Our CinchFit® system makes it easier to make your bed and keep it made.
The main culprit of sheet stains or yellowing is body oils, often from face or hair products. You can use a product like Oxy-Clean, which is an oxidizing bleach to help fight stains.
If your sheets get that yellowish discoloration, here is what I recommend. First, soak your sheets in a bucket or tub with warm water that has a scoopful of Oxy-Clean and a good squirt of dish washing detergent. The dish washing detergent contains special ingredients that fight grease and oils. Soak them for a couple of hours (swishing them around a few times to agitate) to break down those oils. Then just rinse well, and throw it in the wash, and your sheets will come out looking clean as a whistle!
A WORD ON BLEACH
Chlorine bleach is too harsh to use regularly if you want to keep your sheets looking and feeling nice. However, sometimes you just want the beautiful, clean look of white sheets. The great thing about white sheets is that they CAN be bleached occasionally if necessary. An oxidizing bleach is best for regular use, but from time to time, a good wash with regular old bleach can make those whites whiter. Everything in moderation, right?
DRYING YOUR SHEETS
Just as with hot water, a hot dryer will break down the fibers in your sheets more quickly, so we highly recommend that you tumble dry on low heat. Remove sheets immediately after drying in order to minimize wrinkling. If you need to, you can press your sheets with an iron on a lower heat. If you have one available, use a steamer to get out any wrinkles.
STORING YOUR SHEETS
Make sure that your sheets are fully dry before folding and storing to prevent mildew.
If you have more than one sheet set, a clever way to store your spares is to fold them and tuck them inside on of the pillow covers. This way your sheet set will be all together and ready when you are ready to make the bed!
Be sure that there is air flow, to prevent mildew.
