V berth

So the PO of Lori Lee had a custom mattress made for the v berth. It is very nice but I think over sized. It measures 80" across at the head and 84" long head to toe. Can anyone else confirm these measurements? I can't seem to find any sheets that fit. I have been told several times that queen sheets fit, but the queen sheets I got measure 60"x80". Not even close.

I think the sheets have to be custom made. We have a custom mattress and had to make sheets for it. we used king size sheets and cut them down to fit our mattress. There are also marine bedding companies that may have them in stock.

Hope this helps.

thanks for the help. Yes, we ended up coming to the same conclusion yesterday.
