My own preference is a foliage or soft branch mattress
Yeah, I get what you're saying. But sailers at sea were not constantly at the sea. They would stop off at ports and things like that, along the journey.
I'm thinking along the lines of, light weight, and able to guarantee a certain level of comfort.
The foliage and all of that will probably become my main matress. But for the first few days, I want that tiny added extra bit of comfort. I'm a luxury wh*re, and I can't help that haha.
