1987 Toyota Odyssey Mattress Replacement

We bought a 1987 Toyota Dolphin new in late '87 and the replacement of the mattress was the first of a string of DIY mods I did over the years. I trashed the so called foam sectional mattress pads and installed and screwed down a piece of 3/4 inch plywood the size of a regular size mattress and using galvanized shelf brackets, mounted a 6 inch wide section of stained oak to the exposed edge. Purchased, for what at the time was a top of the line 8 inch mattress from Sears.

As we had to live in the Dolphin while stationed in Phoenix, I added the partition below the bed with a hinged door to help insulate and conserve heat and A/C.

I also replaced the front bubble plastic front window with tempered flat pane glass and kept the insulation on it as well.

Their prices are decent and they have been honest with us in the 40 years we have purchased from them. Our latex home mattress is 15 years old and doing fine. Our grandson sleeps on the mattress we purchased for his daddy in 1980.
Good company, and you can use both sides of the mattress. They will make what you want.

We needed a mattress for our 34' boat. Took original mattress to Foam Factory in metro Detroit. Couple weeks later we picked up a new mattress that was made to our spec's. While it may not be possible for you to use the same place as I did. I am sure there are similar places in your location.
