Level Bed

[Bop]

Anyone level their bed? Mine is quite a bit higher at the bow side and slopes downward. I'm thinking of some sort of large shim to get it level. Anyone else have this issue or have a solution?

My 360DA slopes the same way. I wind up sliding towards the stern and my feet hang off the end of the mattress. No solution as of yet.....

if you have rope anchor rode maybe changing to all chain would help lower the bow of the boat while at rest due to the extra weight of the chain rode......

This is exactly what happens to me. Driving me crazy.

I do have all chain but I might need to add another 500 feet of it to get the bow down lol.

My dad built something to elevate the head of my bed when I was a kid, using 2 x 4s topped with a plywood sheet.

For a comparable frame sturdy enough for 2 adults, I'd suggest 5 - 6 supports running fore/aft direction. Instead of 2 x 4s you could use 3/4" or 1" wood planks or plywood to cut wedges for risers, then attach to the plywood platform--kind of like trusses with a roof. If the current mattress rests on a hard flat surface, or if there's storage space with supports running port/starboard, you're done. If the existing supports run fore/aft only, you'll need cross pieces or a sheet of wood as the base.

For ease of access to any under bed storage, put a seam in the platform--cutting through risers, too, if needed--and add hinges to allow you to lift the designated section(s). Cut a couple of finger/grab holes and sand smooth or install something like a table/desktop grommet.

I actually like the aft slope to our 300 DA, snoring is reduced as is acid reflux. I don't find that I slide down hill though.
