V berth

[CPseudonym]

Sleep with your feet pointed towards the bow.

We find that decidedly uncomfortable. Tried it the first couple nights aboard then had a brainstorm and slept feet astern as psneeld mentions, problem solved.

It also eliminates the pillow issue FF mentioned. Not only do we have more comfortable headroom but those late night jaunts are just a simple slide away. We have the filler piece but never remove it and have no clue what foam the PO used when making the cushions but at only 2" thick they are as comfortable as any real mattress we've slept on.

I think you're onto something there, John. Our fwd stateroom has bunks instead of a V berth, but it serves as our storage center rather than sleeping quarters. Only 1 or 2 young kids or inebriated guests have ever slept there. Both lack the gift of reason to know better.

I will confirm that as I'm an eyewitness of it (the storage center).
