Fitted bed sheets

Couple Questions:

Is there anyplace where one can buy bed linen that will fit the odd shape of the mattress in the stern cabin?

It seems Traversak is no longer in business. Any alternatives to suggest?

Thanks,

Man that sucks, TRAVASACK was an awesome product, I have a Vberth one. an aft cabin one, and one for the salon, not that, that gets used much.
I had written about this product before, they even had two different comforter weights, one winter, one summer you just inverted them. :(

I agree wih Jeff, they were great poducts. After tryng one for the V-Berth, we went out and immediately bought one for the after cabin. Hopefully someone will fill the void.

After checking several sources, I found that Catalina Yachts themselves are the best solution for fitted sheets. It was much less expensive and I didn't have to provide the complex measurements. I got 4 pillow cases, 2 bottom sheets, and 2 top sheets, all for $225. The top sheets are generic square. The bottom sheets are cut and fitted to meet the mattresses exactly. The aft cabin, with that little bit that sticks out torward the front of the boat, was the most complex and it fit perfectly. They have ivory or white. Ivory color was delivered in 5 days, I would have had to wait 6 weeks for white.

I will check with Catalina yachts this morning, when they open.

I like to have a washable mattress pad under the sheets.

Any suggestions on where to find one of them?

Blair,

For a custom mattress pad, you might consider a Tufted Topper. They will make it per your template. Adds a nice bit of cushioning too.

Mike,

I have upgraded mattresses, and I am just looking for a thin washable pad to put on top of the mattress.

Any suggestions?
