Sleep with your feet pointed towards the bow.
Why? On many boats that puts your head downhill which isn't healthy...
My amidship stateroom sleeps feet forward/head aft. Most island queens in aft staterooms also sleep head aft. I never noticed any issue with my head being lower than my feet. Maybe this is fodder for a new 300 post thread!
Yeah I know what you mean, after awhile though it goes away (mentally that is) and also find it kind of soothing.I agree with Denver what do you find wrong? Mattress, noise, ventilation, etc. When we owned our Camano the vee berth was comfortable but in certain conditions the waves slapped the hull and could be quite noisy, but one of those things you get used to.
I suppose it's a size thing being 6'2 220 i need space........so thinkin' of filling the whole thing with plywood and getting a custom mattress to fit the whole area

Do you not have a removable insert that converts the two sides to one big platform?

Really? In all the boats I've chartered, and all the boats I've owned, I have never found this to be the case. I must be very lucky....way too many boats are so poorly designed that the vee berths slope aft which makes sleeping that way not comfortable...
If your v-berth doesn't have an insert then you need to make one (or have one made), which should be relatively easy.
The problem with an insert is,, instead of simply getting out of bed to visit the head ,
you need to do a back flip over the pillows and land feet up.
Or crawl over the pillows , find a hand grip and attempt to stand up dragging your knees over the pillows..
Climbing back in bed required climbing over the pillows and doing a U TURN , hopefully with out waking your bunkie.
The problem (besides the crap motion ) of bunks stuffed into the fore peak is always getting in & out of them.
