After 12 years of life our mattress has finally given up. We have two indentations in the bed that matches our contours. I have often woken up in the morning with either sore hips or squished into a corner where the mattress is still springy and gives some support. It is not an optimum way to sleep.
We had often discussed getting a new mattress, but the timing just never seemed right.
In Hobart at the Wooden Boat Festival, we met Karl and Elaine, they own Eco Marine Bedding in Mona Vale. I believe they used to work from Pittwater. The mattress they had on display looked and felt divine.
We met them again at this years Sydney Boat show, once again testing out their display model. This time asking more questions, we really need to improve our sleep situation. After reading all of the promo online https://ecomarinebedding.com.au we finally decided to take the plunge and order a new mattress.
Their promotional materials outlines:
Why our mattresses are so good and so unique:-
– luxuriously comfortable and supremely supportive
– the only purpose designed mattress for boats
– custom built so they fit like a glove
– metal free, non-corrosive inner sprung system with a 10 year warranty
– breathable open cell foam – makes it light weight & easy to move
– self aerating, so doesn’t hold heat, moisture or grow mould
– flexible – can be folded to access restricted spaces
– removable & washable hypoallergenic/anti-microbial TENCEL® covers
– designed in Austria, made in Australia
How good does this sound!
We dropped into their Mona Vale outlet and tested the different thicknesses of mattress, including the soft topper (that you can have made to zip on and off) and decided upon the (140 mm thick) – firm mattress with soft topper. Karl gave us a tour of his factory; this gave us a better understanding of the product and we could see how passionate they are about making the perfect bed for each boat. Each bed is a custom build with detailed stitching to fit around the nooks and crannies of each individual boat design.
Karl met us at MHYC a few days later and made a template of our existing bed. It is now being constructed and we are looking forward to delivery soon.
To finally have a fully supportive mattress to sleep on is going to be wonderful!
I wanted to let you know about this because we also found out the Karl and Elaine are planning on retiring next year to start their sailing voyage. They have so much experience and have been so passionate about their mattresses that we wanted to get in before they leave.
If you have been thinking about getting a new mattress, I would suggest that you don’t put it off as long as we did. Have a chat with Karl and Elaine and take the time to visit their outlet and be prepared to spoil yourself a little bit.
